I'm guessing there was a mistake with the installation... That's where I would start.

You always tell people to do this

There really is not much to do for a stillen install to f it up.I would start with double checking the cam and crank sensor connections and the ground connection first.

I agree check the cam and crank sensor connections and any vacuum lines. Is it trying to start and just spuddering or is it not doing anything at all?

Reset the ecu and check your idle with cipher.. Also, are you throwing codes? Sounds like a fuel issue/idle..

with the procharger kit i installed....two places could have caused no gas to motor = just cranking, no starting.
1) New fuel pump or Inline fuel pump install error
2) pulling fuse for fuel pump install so that pump isn't getting power. if you didn't reinstall this fuse...no fuel...
if it's not ever even firing, seems like it'd be that...or did you mess with spark plugs at all?

What stage is it?
Also do you have any pics?
New or used kit?
What color pulley does it have and what year is your car?
