Have you rechecked to be absolutely sure that your ignition is firing on the compression stroke and not the exhaust stroke? It is really easy to get timing 180 degrees out.

Got a base map from Phil at extra efi for a zetec with throttle bodies. all good so far, just turn the key and go! Err, no actually, turn the key and cough cough, wants to catch by the sound of it, but no joy. Turned prime pulsing off to make sure I don't flood the engine, and tried several times, but no joy. If it helps, it seemed to want to start more when I used a little bit of throttle.

Any help or advice as to where to start fault finding would be great.

Cheers
