Guys I need some help.
87 turbo ii, the ecu is throwing a code for the air intake temp sensor. Chris (from cp racing) and I are both stumped on why this stupid thing will not run. Im not sure if a faulty AIT will cause the car not to run, Im going to have a look at it later. But as far as everything goes, the car has fuel (it keeps flooding from trying to start it), compression, strong battery, timing is set close to stock (will set it properly with a timing light when it runs). Anyways, all emissions are removed from the car and properly blocked off (1/8in aluminum). I tried replacing the ecu.
When Im cranking the car it sounds like it wants to go but then just dies back down. If anyone has something theyd like to share...

Is there a test procedure for the AFM? I was looking in the FSM and I did not see one.
Rotor: I have a fuel cut switch Ive been toggling off and on.

After I tested the AFM I supported it with a screw driver and some thick wire to hold it level. When I cranked the car (fuel pump off) there was a thick cloud of smoke coming from the downpipe. It was still burning off fuel when I came inside for the night. Ill have another wack at it tomorrow. But its trying a hell of a lot harder to start, still flooded heavily. Atleast Im making some progress.
4 short blinks.

primary / secondary injector wires mixed up? And what is your compression reading? I am assuming that the exhaust is not plugged so hmmmm. I am sure you have also tried moving the timing around before trying to start it and seeing if that makes a difference. All I could think of at this point is something wrong with the EGI.

I got it started, it was idling for a good hour until I stepped out to go get a timing light. My parents said it died, but the key was turned off so I have a feeling they just got sick of listening to it lol.
And compression was 55psi front 60 rear.

At least it is a new engine. 55 / 60 psi is a little limp. My worn out NA had 90 and its housing looked like this:
The replacement (used but cheap) housing is shown behind the worn one that pulsed 3x90.
