Car won't start after WOT box installation Please Help!

I recently installed a N2MB WOT box and a 3in ZZP intake and now my car won't start. I double checked all of the WOT box wiring and it is correct and all of the connections have been soldered. I had the blower off and injectors out for some maintenance also but that has all been properly reinstalled. I know it is getting fuel as the plugs were soaked whenever I took them out. Anyone have any suggestions as to what could be wrong? Thanks!

Something with the wire that goes to the ign stuff. Probably not getting spark.

That's what I was thinking. How would I check for spark?

Um well i'm assuming you don't have a spark tester. Just cut the wire that runs from the wot box to the ign signal. It should start then..

Yes the WOT box is plugged in. The WOT box originally came off of a different car.

Update: I unplugged the WOT box and jumped the red and black ignition coil power wires and now it will start for a second or two and then it dies.

Step 1: remove WOT box

Step 2: throw WOT box in the garbage

Step 3: rewire your car to it's original design

Step 4: shift the car normally at WOT throttle, the same way people have been doing it since manual transmissions were invented.
