Help!!! Installed intercooler and now car won't start
Hey guys, I just installed an xs power intercooler and lower intercooler pipe on my IX. Went to start the car, it would crank, no start. Tried it a few more times, it seems like it wants to turn over but just doesn't. I thought maybe it was the intercooler causing the problem, so switched back over to stock, same thing happens.
I proceeded to do a boost leak test, no boost leaks detected. I've been searching and trying a few different things but no luck. The car was really low on gas, so I thought maybe because it was sitting on ramps, gas wasn't going to the fuel rail, so I put a gallon of gas in there, still nothing! The car was running perfect until the install. Please, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Pulled the following codes:
P0340 Camshaft position sensor A
P0113 Intake air temperature sensor 1 circuit high (tested pin 1 on MAF harness gets 5v)
P2228 Barometric pressure circuit low. (tested pin 4 on MAF harness gets 11.5v)

Did you unplug anything electrical and forget to plug it back in? The MAF for example...

The gas light was on, it is no longer on with the added gallon of gas. I'm assuming there is at least 2-3 gallons in there now. Could the walbro fuel pump have failed all of the sudden as it was trying to syphon gas while on ramps on a low tank?

It still acted the same. You know, it feels like the car wants to turn over but just doesn't, very similar to when you blow an IC pipe which is what prompted me to do boost leak test. Do you know which fuses those are? or where I can find the labeled fuses?

Pulled 3 codes from ecu:
P0340 Camshaft position sensor A
P0113 Intake air temperature sensor 1 circuit high
P2228 Barometric pressure circuit low.
Maybe these will help us diagnose it. My question is could these codes have been thrown due to multiple times trying to crank the car to start or are these codes actually pointing to reasons why car is not starting?
