RB20DET won't start....help?

[RiverSide]

After tidying up my intercooler piping, and fitting everything back up. i tried to start the vehicle and it won't run........it has fuel, (can smell it) and must have spark cause it threw a bigass flame out the pipe.

What would cause this? I have triple checked for leaks in the piping, i have checked to see if i knocked a plug or similar, but all looks good.

I am at a wits end. The car was running just prior to removal of piping.

Thanks

Be sure that the AFM plug is back in(???)

yeah i'd be looking at AFM if its cracking the sads like it is.

the only other time one of my cars did something similar to yours, was when the crank angle sensor was rewted.

goodluck man, let us know what it was

Got it sorted today..........turned out to be fouled plugs from turning the engine on and off while filling the power steering fluid after rack re-co.

Gave them a clean and runs sweet as now.........definately time for a tune though, it seems the car is running awfully rich.
