It certainly sounds the part when I don't have much of an exhaust yet. Just for you guys/gals sneak peek of the first engine start.

So here's the issue.... I've racked my brain on the Terminator X manual and wiring the harness. The video shows the engine running but only when I have the key in start. As soon as I release to the "On" position, the engine dies.
- There is constant power to the Ignition pin when turning the key to start
- The terminator X harness has the ignition red/white wire going to this ignition pin on the key
- Fuel Pump is working
- There are no error lights on the Terminator X ECU
- I data logged tonight during a start up and it does show the MAP, MAF, and - TPS reading along with REVS.
- ECU power comes straight from the battery terminal
- The ignition key switch "BAT+" terminal comes from the large hot pin on the starter.
The alternator is currently not connected
Fuel pressure is not connected, but also not required says the manual
Oil pressure is not connected, but also not required
Tomorrow I'm going to try connect the alternator +/out to the large starter pin/peg and see if there is some reason the ECU is cutting off because it doesn't see voltage.
Taking suggestions!
SOLVED -- After reviewing every wire I had plugged in I decided to check the relay that wasn't triggering for the fuel pump. The other end of that relay goes to a collective ground wire for both the Terminator X relay and the ignition coil harness. I decided to reground it a little better than the painted door post I was using as a temporary fix. Bam, everything ran! What a rookie
