PFC starting help

Hello,

Just some back story... I installed a used PFC and twin power yesterday and my car started fine. The idle was rough and I went through the learning process but it was still smoking and idling very weird. It was getting late so I left it until today to do the idle learning again and remove the twin power. Now my car wont start with or without the twin power. I even plugged the stock ecu back in and it still won't start. How could it start just fine one day and not the next? I'm stumped...

Please help,

Alex

Well, with the help of boxer2rotary (member here) he was able to determine that all it was is a flooded engine. I went through the procedure and changed the plugs since they were bad and added a small amount of ATF in the trailing plug ports... it started right up. Now if I can just smooth out my idle and get it to stop smoking like crazy, I'll be in good shape.
