Default HELP! Mx5 turbo ran perfect, now won't start

got all my bits installed the other day and finally hooked it up to a laptop, loaded a basemap that was tried and tested and I checked all the relevant bits and everything looked fine.

Td04, me221 standalone ECU, FMIC with IAT sensor(MAF delete) rx8 injectors

Started it up no problems idled beautifully and AFR's were reading perfect, brang Her Upto temperature all ok. Took it for a little drive, no boost for about 10 mins(AFR's perfect) came into boost slowly, perfect.

Had a little break for a smoke and to check everything over, switched her off, WOULDNT RESTART?

Got a tow back home, the 10amp fuse in the engine bay had blown, when replaced it still wouldn't start, Cranks over and BANGS every now and again, fuel injectors seem to be continuously running?

What can happen in the space of a switch off to a turn back on?

Thanks guys

Don't know, but the me221 is a pretty crappy ecu so who knows what is wrong with it.

Check if the tune is still in the ECU, maybe due to electrical problem somehow the tune is al on '0'

So slightly got to the bottom of this guys, spark was very very weak so initially thought id fried my coils, ended up plugging the old ECU back in! Started immediately, checked the map on the ME221 and everything seemed fine as it was earlier when she was running, but still nothing?

Odd... Has the ECU been fried do you reckon?
