so ive been working on a heater core issue, sealed it all up and its stopped leaking so i went to take it around the neighborhood and i noticed when it started up it didnt sound right, it idled just under the 1000s but i let it run and noticed my check engine light on.. wasnt sure why but i took it down the driveway anyways, got halfway into the street and she was struggling, went to bring it back up the driveway and it cut off. tried to crank it didnt start, 3 more times..nothin. i assumed the engine got flooded cause the previous owner put 550s in it and said it runs rich... its a streetported s5 for reference and previous owner told me to use marine oil(im guessing cause of the premix it has).. i didnt bother to unflood it but im concerned about the whole check engine scenario...im buying some 460cc injectors to put on it once i find some and im wondering if there will be any consequence if i dont use the marine oil?

help?! suggestions?!

 

anyone?

 

And the check engine light code was?

 

dunno what the light code was how do i check that?

 

You said S5, right?

sweet ill check it out in the morning and see what i come up with

 

ok so i put the new injectors in today and now the car wont start, it cranks and begins to start then goes back to cranking...anyone help?

side note: i noticed one of the secondary injector wires was a little frayed, i wrapped some electrical tape around it cause i dont know/have a soldering piece..im thinking that is the cause

 

hold down the accelerator when its cranking and don't let go until it gets to 4,000rpm, mine kinda does the same thing

 

it doesnt start, itll crank but it wont start so i cant get it up to 4k

 

ohh ok i thought that it cranks and kinda starts for a second and then goes back to cranking

 

it does but its really brief, not enough time for me to push the gas
