Car was running Sunday, not so much tonight. Nothing has changed except for my battery and/or starter sounds weak. I'll test these tomorrow and replace whatever needs replacing.

Also, once again I feel defeated and feel that the 7 may not make it! If that is the case I wont be rotorless. .. The KMS4 will be displayed somewhere at the show.

Does it start & run fine with a jump start? If so, sounds like you've got a parasitic electrical load that is draining down the battery over time, as if leaving the lights on. Any new wiring from the EFI setup that is NOT switched (i.e., wired to constant power)? That's the first place I'd look.

it would be unrealistic to expect several aftermarket parts to plug into eachother and work flawlessly on the first attempt without using your head to do any troubleshooting ever.

also, if the issue ends up being your battery or your starter, it probably wouldnt have fired up with a carburetor either.

just remain calm, swap out the battery and/or starter, and get it fired up. if it doesnt start like it did sunday, we'll do some troubleshooting and figure out why. it will be ok
