so guys...

i put everything on, the T2 intake port matched, turbo and Dp and IC piping is on... everything is attached properly....




anyone have any input as to why the car starts but then after 5 secs dies....

all the EGR valves and vac lines are gone... the airpump and coolant feed are blocked... what i think it is is a large vac leak at the block off plate for the EGR. i didnt silicone it before putting on the plate... so... could that me my problem... also... its just my DP on right now so i know its running rich, which could be caused by the vac leak... and i know i am getting fuel because i can smell it from the engine bay... and no the injectors are seated properly... so i think the smell is from the block off plate, because the injectors are right there after it...

anyways... anyone have any ideas

update:

it cranks... but now it doesnt start... i took a closer look and i forgot to connect the not pipe to the turbo... well i mean tighten it... but i dont think that would make a diff would it? help! i need my car back on the road... and soon! anything would help... and ideas, theories... anything!

did you pull the plugs unflood it. Pour some Oil down ( just a bit) Hand turn it. to create a seal. and then put plugs bakck in and try it again.

If not silicon the block of plate.

Is the stock TII ECU being used?

If so,you have to plug in and plumb, the AFM(air flow meter) with no leaks or tilting of the AFM or its plumbing.

The S4 AFM has a fuel pump switch in it that triggers the fuel pump to activate once the door swings open.There is a small primer charge placed on the fuel system when the key is turned on,but its only enough to only keep the engine running for a few seconds.The AFM has to open a little in order to re-enable the fuel pump and keep the system pressurized once the engine fires.If the AFM or intake system has leaks,or the AFM is tilted from level,it will affect the fuel pump switch and cause the exact scenario your seeing. If your not 100% sure about leaks,have someone hold the flapper door open a little bit while you crank the engine over,until it starts up.

The S5 doesnt use this feature since the AFM is a sliding cone style,but its much less likely your running a S5 ECU due to the complexites of the swap.....

i am uing the stock GSLSE ECU until i get the megasquirt in... but i would think the AFM would be the same thing...


but heres an update

i pulled the plugs and they were soaked with fuel... so i know the engine is getting it befcause its flooded... so i fixed all the block off plates with sillicone and attached the cupling properly to the turbo (it wasnt on right so i think thats also why i richened up and flooded) and i cracked the engine over with the EGI fuses out to get all the fuel out of my engine... tmw i'm going to change the oil to get the fuel out... and then i'll be putting the plugs back in and hopefully VROOM!


but then again i could be wrong... anyone else have any ideas as to anyting else i should be checking and such
