    Default HELP subi wont start!!!

    so i have a built 2005 sti, i have been building this baby for a few months and finally got it done...
    or so i thought, i had it tuned by a pro and it ran like a champ and dynoed at 426.7 at the wheels , i drove the car to my friends houses showing it off (haha you know how it is) but i never turned the car off, once i got it home i turned it off and the next morning i was going to take it to work but i hopped in turned to key and NOTHING it will turn over and over and over and if it does start it pops and sputters out, i can smell the raw fuel in the garage and i have checked all the obvious things, plugs, wires, fuel system, everything i can think of.
    please help me

    May Sound unlikely, but first, is there enough fuel in the tank? are you on any sort of incline?

    when you checked "plugs, wires" do you mean you checked to see if there was visible spark? on each cylinder?

    Did you check all your grounds? Especially things like the ignitor box (if the ej25 even has one.....not a suby guy)

    when you checked "the fuel system" do you mean you checked the resistance at the pump, or did you just listen for the audible buzz of the pump itself? i assume you are using a much larger capacity fuel pump

    it was 26 degree's outside lastnight.......was the engine properly winterized? enough coolant? or was this garage kept?

    might have flooded the engine??

    sorry sorry i posted in a hurry last night, and i am sorry i posted in the wrong forum.
    but anyway, i have all cobb stage 2 accessories and yes i did let it cool down before i shut it off and i have a turbo timer on it. i have a half tank of gas and yes it is all winterized. it is a GT37R turbo kind of a custom assortment of parts. front mount intercooler, and when i say i checked all fuel and "spark" systems i mean i did it all. the scooby STAYS in the garage after my ex keyed it. ecu is still plugged in correctly and yes i dogged the absolute crap out of it, but in all fairness the dyno was probably harder on it than i was. the tune was a safe tune VERY safe, but i was in a car wreck in my friends G35 and my laptop was in the back and was basically crushed so i cant plug it up like i normally would to check all the major systems or tune.

    ok, so what i didnt just post is cobb. i hope this is enough to at least get a few good answers, thanks for your feedback already.
