Default Help me get my car started with a MS3x on my 97, please!

Like the title says I am trying to get my MS3x to start on my 1997. I am using the .msq downloaded from Frank's site.

The car is NA, stock injectors, no wideband or any of that jazz.

I built the unit myself months ago so much of the terminology is just coming back to me.

I can power the car on, TunerStudio is connects, the 1st and 3rd of the lights on the unit turn on, but when I turn the keys all the way the car doesn't want to turn on... Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Please post a copy of your MSQ and a data log of an attempted start.

did you build it correctly?

did you wire it correctly?

what does "doesn't want to turn on" even mean?

Well I attached a tall conductive metal pole to the battery so I am just waiting on the next lightning storm to get a charge, to bad the weather has been so good :-P

That's the thing, I built it myself so I am not sure if it's correct. I double checked everything and took my time making the darn thing, but I could have had a mistake in my sloppy soldering skills. I don't know. That's why I was hoping to get some feedback, not that you could give me much with the information I supplied you.
"Doesn't want to turn on" means that when I turn the keys, all I hear is the starter, none of that engine start of vroom that I so dearly love.

Data log? Got it. I didn't know I could give one of an attempted start (I know I am a newb). I will put the MS back in when I get a chance and show you that and attach my .msq.
