First off, let me say thank you in advance for any help with this. I have a 2003 r53, 150k miles, 6spd. Has the following known engine mods (I am at least the third owner):
Alta intake
Full Borla exhaust
2% crank pulley
Cam upgrade (unknown brand/spec)
17% supercharger pulley
Forge intercooler
I had the front crank seal go, and swapped that out with no issues. Took it for a drive after, and it seemed very low on power. It barely made it around the block, and died as I pulled into the driveway. It will crank, but not start. Definitely has an unburned fuel smell when cranking. I got an odd combination of codes (I only have an obd2 reader) and wanted to make sure I was on the right track for fixing it. Any insights are appreciated. Codes below:
Current Faults
p0130
p0302
p0420
P1692
Pending Faults
p0313
P0326
It seems like the coil pack, but I am pretty new to the r53, and the p1692 code has me confused. Thanks again for any help. Car pics attached in case anyone wanted to see.
Nice color! (Same as mine.) Poking around here on NAM for p1692 codes indicate that checking the ground strap and battery are good places to start. But in this case it's curious that this started just after changing the front main seal. Did you get the crank bolt torqued to spec? It's 85 ft-lbs.

Thanks for the response!
I did torque it to spec (it appeared that the seal failure was due to undertorquing by whoever changed to the 2% pulley,, as the crank bolt was finger loose when I pulled it apart). I will check the battery connections. The trickle charger/tester I have indicated the battery itself was good.
Yes, check the ground strap and also pull the electrical connector to the Throttle Body for a few min, for the 1692 code. (Don't ask me why it works, but quite often it does) also a disconnect and reconnect of the battery (ground only is fine) can help to sort things with misfired that have been fixed.
