Default VORTECH Install... Now wont start...

I have an '05- Vortech HO kit, everything went on fairly well, lots of moving things around but it wasnt sooooo bad i guess. Car was buttoned up, tune in, new fuel pumps in, and the vehicle was started. Car ran beautifully for 15 minutes, up to operating temperature, eveyrhting was normal. Car was shutoff to fix a small coolant leak. At this time i tried starting the car again... it would NOT start.... Car cranked and cranked, NO start. Tried a new tune, checked all the sensors, no codes, no errors or faults, fuel pumps are priming... WHAT COULD IT BEEEE...? ANy ideas?

Damn...I don't know what it could be...

But when you get her back up and running, definitely give a review. I am looking to purchase this kit and would like to see how a fellow stanger likes it.

Hmm... its stumped me for sure... i think it might be a ford security or alarm issue... it was running way to smoothly to be just NOT starting... I really dont get it... maybe all the connecting and disconnecting of the battery did something... noooo idea...

Make sure you have air, fuel and fire. If it won't run with all three of those present then you have problems. I'd be looking at the spark plugs first.

This may sound stupid, but did you check the belt?
