Another car cranks but dosent start thread.

My 89 jdm turbo 5 spd, wont start. I finally got it to crank and realized that it had nothing to do with the connections on the tranny. Anyways... Now my engine cranks but it dosent start. I have spark, fuel and air. The closest I get to start the engine, like realy hear it ROAR is when someone is cranking and I block the air tube (from intercooler to throtle body) with my hand. It shakes and feels like it's ready to start but wont.


And today I noticed something bizarre. After I crank it, I leave the key in the on position and I hear like a mini motor noise comming from the engine like around the intake manifold but only when the initercooler is installed. When it's off and I block the tube with my hand the noise aint there.


Anyone ever heard of this problem or able to troubleshoot it ?

It's flooded.

The buzzz you hear is the BAC cycling.

Search for how to unflood the car or build a fuel cut switch and go from there. Search for Fuel Cut Switch and NZCONVERTIBLE if you need to make one.

The buzzz i hear it only when the intercooler is installed. When It's not installed the buzz aint there no matter how many times I crank it.

Also on each side of the BAC valve are allen hex shaped plugs or bolts ??? Are they there for adjusting or for installation ?

I'll write back if it's flooded.

Ordinarily, you have this tube hooked up correctly, right?
