    I can hear the fuel pump turn on. When I had my intake off, I smelt fuel. I smelt all the ends of the plugs, they smell like fuel.

    What I did today was switch my 10mm spark plug wires lol... I swapped them with the ones that came with the engine.. thats as far as I got because now I have to get ready for work

    No I haven't tried starter fluid yet. I might give that a try after I check the rest of the plugs for spark

    You're not going to hear the fuel pump. It doesn't prime, and it only runs when the engine is cranking.

    Try and unplug maf then start engine.
    It will put it into a limp mode.

    I don't have much ideas but check all your turbo hoses. If they're not on it will hardly run. This happened for me like a week ago. Thought I killed my engine because it harly started up and sounded terrubke. Left me stranded on the highway and I was really confused to what it was. After banging my head for a while I looked underneath the car and sure enough the hose from the front turbo had popped off.

    So check underneath, all the turbo hoses and their clamps. Just a little tip but you probably checked them.

    Could be the ecu anyways even if the caps looks fine.

    It'll run on a popped hose with the MAF disconnected.

    I have an N/A.. I checked the spark on cylinder#3 and there was nothing. Unless I grounded it wrong?.. I swapped coil packs, still nothing. So now I'm starting to wonder if it's the module. But I still want to redo the spark test just to be sure.

    Check your PTU as well. It's part of the whole ignition loop.

    At least you are now pointed in the right direction. Check power at your coils. You should have a constant 12V.

    Swapped the PTU with my known working one, and still doesn't start. I guess I'll check for spark again in case I didn't ground it right. I also probably should start searching for my volt-meter lol..
