ls1 swap engine wont start HELP?

hey guys im new here!

the name is adam ive got a 91 trans am and ive taken a 98 z28 camaro and swapped EVERYTHING complete wiring harness dash motor and so on.....

well the car ran great the only things that i had not got hooked up yet were the o2 sensors and the hvac canister and everything that goes with that.....

but the other day i tried to start it, it started but then kinda just faded out till it died and now will not start..... im getting fuel (wet plugs) and every now and then it will give a pop when cranking


but i changed nothing and over night it stopped working!

any ideas anyone?

im getting no codes from the computer!

yeah i just checked and ive got great spark right on time..... and fuel for sure the plugs are wet.... could it be that b/c i dont have the o2 sensors in the exhaust yet that they could be giving a bad reading and the computer bumpin the fuel and actually flooding out the car?

If the plugs are soaked, then it's definatly getting more fuel than needed and could be causing the problem.
