There Was a thread back in 09, that had an AEM with Magnacor plug wires. Aparently one of them went bad, and wouldnt let the car start. Personally i dont think its water in the fuel. Ive had my ride for 5yrs now and have not come into contact with water in fuel (driven from Fl-Cali on I-10)
If fuel pump is not priming, try install stock ecu. and find someone with tactrix cable. You can prime the fuel pump manually with the click of a button. If it primes that way, you know the pump was dry. Prime it 2 times, then connect your AEM back up and see if it starts.
Thats what i did for my Power FC, after 2 weeks of not having it. Other Option is Cam Angle Sensor gone bad.

Now i know its not my rod or motor but I just cant figure it out. I am runing e-85 and haven't checked my injectors yet but I doubt its that. Any help would be much appreciated

He has checked the ic piping it isn't that. if he is running aem his car wont react to a ic pipe popping off like one with a stock ecu.

Correct. Sorry guys haven't really had time to fix it. should be free after work today to see if the vacuum lines are to blame or not.

Why do people always chime in saying it's the IC pipes when a car won't start? How much of noobs are y'all? Every thread I read that has something to do with the engine at least 30% of ppl say IC pipes. So annoying

Anyways, are you running a double pumper? Were you wot right before the car started to shut off? Check to see if you have spark, also check if you have fuel at the rail(fuel filter might be clogged)

There's lots of things it could be but first you have to check for spark/fuel. Could be various sensors eg. cam sensor, crank sensor, bad maf, etc etc. Vac line would not cause the car to not start so don't worry about those. Let us know if you have spark and fuel at the rail

Double pumper yes. Will check the fuel filter now and fuel rail. Im also set up on Speed density so no MAF. Edit: fuel is getting to thevfuel rsil

Check for spark, just pull one of the coils out and put it close to the valve cover and see if you see spark.
