its the big oil sensor on the oil pan with the 2 bolts and the big black wire on it with the white clip. iv got a fresh rebuild and im having trouble starting it and this is the only thing not pluged in would it cause it not to start?

and can i get a comprehensive list of what has to be pluged in to start a s5 n/a?

 

Yes, Its the low oil sensor, and it will not start unplugged.

 

AFM, TPS, Injectors, Plugs, Coils, ECU...... I'm not sure if the oil sensor not plugged in will cause it not to start..... maybe above dude knows more than I do.... fuses. Dammit just get a freakin FSM.

 

Don't know if it's different for s5 but I just installed the Pinapple racing oil pan and the low oil sensor is sitting on my workbench and the car starts. So that's not the problem.

 

I suspect that my oil sensor is eitehr unplugged or bad and the engine starts. Oil was low and I got no idiot buzzer. I've got plans to test and replace if needed next time I change the oil.

 

Thats weird

 

Thats weird

 

i hope thats the only problem because i cant figure out why my fresh rebuild isint firing

 

why not just plug it in and see if it starts?

 

It could be severely flooded. It took mine two freakin days of de-flooding preocedures and two battery charges to finally get it goin, lol.

 

i dont think its flooded it turns over fine and i pulled trhe plugs and they didnt ahve an excessive amount of fuel on em.

to unflood u pull the plugs and the egi fuse and crank it for a few seconds at a time right?

 

yea that's a good way to do it. maybe a little ATF can help too.

wait... you say that it turns over just fine..... so whats the problem?

 

i have no idea it jsut wont catch and fire it tries and occasionally sputters but it just wont catch

 

yup, sounds like it's flooded ***** to me. put a little ATF into the BAC air hose, well anywhere that will get into the combustion chamber really, but that's the spot that was used sucessfully to get mine goin. Give it a minute to let it drain in there. Fire it up and carefully modulate the throttle.

remember:

for the motor to run you need four things..... fuel.....spark.....air.....and COMPRESSION
your freshly rebuilt motor has no compression yet.

 

sry about the other thread i didnt know u would post here does it amtter that my bac isint pluged up all the way becasue i ahve emmisons removed
