Please help

Hi guys - I would appreciate if someone could help me out.

I just removed JB4 and bms dual cones and was wondering how easy it is to do so. I carefully put everything back together and to my dismay the car is not starting. The engine keeps cranking but fails to start. I took some pics of the errors showing up on the dash in the order I received them. I opened up everything again to make sure that all the pins etc were secured in ECU, the airbox was secure and everything seems to be in order. I am totally confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Did you make sure all the connectors were in the right place facing the right direction? Make sure that the arrow on the connectors are facing the right direction. Also make sure the power wire that goes on the green box is in the right slot.

yeah man. I made sure. The only thing that I was not able to do is slide the slider all the way in for the smaller connectors but a tug proved that it was secure since half of it was in the connector housing. The big slider was a pain to put back in so I'm hesitant to pull that out but will double check. The power wire is in the correct slot as well. So frustrating...

Well I know when I had this problem where I had power but it wouldn't turn over it was one of the small connectors was facing the wrong way when I put it in there. I'm all out of leads so good luck.

Yea if everthing is right there should be no issue with the slider. You have something backwards or misaligned.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to respond. I'm an idiot. I double checked everything except one thing and that was the issue.
I had slid the connectors on the large one too high (if that makes sense) and the slider still went in. So basically once I put it all back together the pins did not connect and that resulted in the car not starting. Lesson learnt!
I just hope no codes etc show up when I take my car in for routine check up this weekend.

Thanks all and have a nice weekend!

You need to do like the rest of us and make friends with the service advisor and mechanics. Mine said to ask for them personally when I bring in my car and they will overlook my mods. For routine service as long as you have it on Map 0 they dont care about JB4.

I'm going to bring up the hypothetical situation once I pick up my car. Let's see if that flys with him.

I just brought up the "Oh, do catless downpipes void my CPO warranty". Then my service adviser got the mechanic and we had a "talk" outside. Then they just said to always ask for them when I bring in my car, and make sure JB4 was on map 0.

My SA had the day off so got a replacement SA. He showed me 8+ codes which were prob due to my earlier mistake. In any case will wait to chat with my SA...fingers crossed.
