Those are tooth logs and composite logs, we need datalogs that are taken using the datalogging menu in TunerStudio (TS)

I won't have time to look any any detail until later, but I did briefly glance at the log and your battery voltage is getting pretty low during cranking. Can you hook this up to a running car with jumper cables and see if it starts? Also, set flood clear to 70, floor it after a couple of crank rotations. Did you hook up the map sensor?

It is built into the MSPNP2, you run a hose from the manifold to the nipple on the ECU case.

This might be a dumb question but what all sensors do I need to retain?

update: I figured out what I was looking for

Did you try to start it with jumper cables yet?

Migjt not be a bad idea. It is dropping to like 8 ish volts during cranking and it transitions to run, which I thought it was only supposed to do when it gets over the cranking rpm. I am wondering if the ecu is glitching and would like to eliminate that as a potential issue.

You pretty much want to log everything until you get it running, even if you don't post the logs.

Crap man, is this your only car? Is there a Vegas Miata FB group where an MS'er can come and help you?

So I thought I saw some stuff in the log that was questionable, but I compared it to a TS log on my own car and it seems to be similar. I don't really see anything with the ECU that would be obviously causing problems which returns me to the hypothesis that you have something not right in the hardware. You need fuel and spark, so that is where I would double check everything.

Did you change any of the wiring for fuel or spark? Say, for sequential?

Are you using the stock injectors?

Are you SURE that you have fuel pressure at the rail?

Is the CAM timing setup properly?

You could try adding/removing cranking PW to see if that helps. I would try adding/pulling 20% across the board, followed by 50%, then 100%.

I'm using the stock injectors, my fuel pressure is good, I didnt change anything for sequential, I'm pretty positive about my cam timing but I'll have another look at it, I'll try the cranking pulse width next.
