Unhappy Now it runs Now it don't

I took the rats nest off of my car last night, and this morning I went out and tried to start it up, and nothing all I got was cranking. And I have no idea what is wrong with it, I know it isn't flooding there really isn't even a gas smell at all coming from the exhaust. Do you still have to have all that electronic crap that is under the intake for it to run. And also there is a little electronic part I don't know what it is called but it was bolted to the rats nest, and it had a hose running off of the metal pipe that goes to the back valve, if you know what I am talking about will this cause the engine not to run. Any help is very appricated.

hmmmm


Did you cap all the neccesary vaccum nipples? did you reroute the vaccume hoses you need to keep? FPR? UIM-LIM?

You do not need all the little noids under there to run the car they are only for emmisions. Did you remove the EGR valve? What did you use to block it off? if you left it there did you cap the vaccum hose nipple?Did you prime the fuel system maybe the fuel still has not fully reacked the injectors try jusmpering the little connector on the pass. side of the car.

There are still a couple that are not capped off but that shouldn't stop it from starting should it. There is one thing I am going to try right now, and I don't now if it will fix it but I will find out.

If it isn't even trying to start, you probably don't have either fuel or spark. Did you reroute the fuel lines correctly when you removed the rack?

Well what I tryed didn't work all I did was put some little sensor that is on the same line as the back valve back on. And I feel really stupid AreExSeven I think that I might not have reroughted the fuel lines right, god damn it I going to have to take the intake off agian. And the reson being I'm not getting any fuel. I know I have spark there has never been a problem with that but I took the top spark plugs out and turned the engine over, and there was not even a mist that came out of the hood. Damn I feel really dump.

Depending on where you messed up the routing, you may just be able to switch the fuel line and the return line where they meet the hard lines at the firewall, so you won't have to take the intake off.

Thats if they are routed correctly the rest of the way.

Well I'm a retard that fixed it, but my engine sounds like a snake with all the vacume leaks, and even worse I think it is leaking fuel. I'm going to go buy some of those little vacume hose caps and some braded fuel line before I blow somthing up.

Well they were routed the right way to the rails, they were just backwards on the fire wall.

well rillaracer

it sounds like your going to need a rebuild on your engine. probable going to cost you about 1k-2k depending on what is ok to re-use on the engine.
