Need some help!!!

I just installed a 90 mm lightning maf a sct 4 bank chip and replaced my fuel pump to a high flow. Now the car wont start!!! My car is a 94 gt with a new motor. It was working well the last time I was working on it, I couldn't get my idle down because of the factory maf. The fuel pressure is at 45 lbs.
Any pointers would be appreciated.

What needed tuning and what are the four tunes on the chip?

The guy that tuned the chip and calibrated my maf didn't give me any info on the tunes.

I just got some info on the tune. Bank 0 will be a basically stock tune. bank 1 is for general street driving, 2 is a more performance oriented tune, and bank 3 is a racing tune.

You tune for the bigger injectors. Lmaf can not be "calibrated" for any size injectors. Your tune has to compensate for both bigger injectors and different maf curve. .

A guy on our forum did the tune for me, I assumed that the maf was calibrated my fault on that one. I'm going to try again this morning I think the selector switch was in the wrong position. I'll put it on position zero.

Don't start it on 0 tune.. verify everything else make sure your distributor is stabbed properly. . Not only does it control timing but it also does the injectors timing..

Last weekend It was running really well, it took me 3 or 4 times to stab the distributor. I was having trouble with my idle, that's when Keith made my chip for me.

So it ran fine till you put the chip in.. did you clean the j3 port really good. . Will it start on the stock tune or with the chip out..

I cleaned the ecm with alcohol, made sure all the contacts were clean. When I put the negative battery connector back on my rad fan was running, So I assume the chip was working. This morning If it doesn't start I'll remove the chip and try without it.

Here's were I'm at got her going, set the timing @ 10 degrees Set the idle at about 800 rpm. Took for her first drive when I come to a stop sign the idle hangs for about 25 seconds before it drops to 800. Also if I accelerate a bit hard I get a backfire. Other than that I feel like a pig in shit.....
