tuning and car wont start

Okay guys im really new to tuning and im struggling. I cant get the car to start and I dont know why. I also need to know what I should have for my start up settings. I just rebuilt everything and when I went to start it it trys to turn over but cant.I think the engine might be getting flooded by the injectors but I changed my global settings to 20 and my dead time to 180. I havent touched anything else on the dsmlink settings. Its a galant vr-4

Can you take a quick log and post it up for us?
Just need to check your settings.
 

EVO injectors have LESS deadtime than stockers, and they typically flow >585cc. So, don't add any deadtime, and remove 23% Global Fuel.
 

I tried a log but its just flat on top of it stops when I try to start the car. That could be the problem. I have them at 180 dead time and 20% global

Try changing the global and deadtime to what Jeff suggested and if it still won't start take a log anyway.
Just turn the key to on and take a log, that will be enough to check your settings in link.

first of all if your new to tuning then why are you screwing around with dsmlink?
I'm hope the best for you, but if you don't what your doing then I won't feel sorry for you when you run the wrong timing and burn a hole in a piston.

My guess to why it won't start is that I bet you didn't change the box under maf comp tab. There is a box that you select for the right maf sensor. You have a 2g on your car so, better make sure that is selected. Also since you already added 23% fuel and changed your deadtime that much, I have a feeling you don't really understand the dynamics behind this.

My advice is find a friend to help get you through it. We are here to help too. You really should go buy a few books and get some research done before you blindly go around changing setting in link.

Also if you don't have a wideband sensor, tuning will be hopeless.

Best of luck!
