Well, I am not sure what I am doing wrong BUT ive got my car to start *cheer* and now it cuts out after 10 seconds of being on. The RPM's slowly die and throttle doesnt change anything, so it seems like my fuel pump runs then cuts off. Anyone had an issue like this before? when the car is on before fuel cuts off I can rev it and I get more white smoke then you could imagine , probably all the carb-cleaner/brake cleaner used on the engine components though. If anyone has any ideas that would be fantastic. or if your in the herndon area and want to stop by and help, I will buy you dinner! lol


Thanks

okay new information, The Pump ISNT cutting off, maybe injectors are, maybe ignition is, Maybe its just stalling out for some weird reason, but I hard-wired the pump to on and that didnt help.

it shouldnt stall if u rev should it?

cheesebox

it doesnt matter what i do, 10 seconds in it stalls out

is your afm harness destroyed? when i swapped my engine in, i didn't clip it in, and the smog pump destroyed it, causing my afm not to function and thus stall upon idling. check into that.

cheesebox

it seems like injectors are cutting, It will stay running with carb clean being sprayed in

cheesebox

my vane sensor? that could make it stall out at idle

You might run the fuel pressure tests prescribed in the FSM. If there is a Harbor Freight near you, they have a fuel pressure tester for $10. I got one, worked great.

I am running aftermarket fuel lines and fuel system, using stock fuel rails running parrallel to a SX Fuel pressure regulator, I definetly have line pressure. thank you though

Have you pressurized the system to look for leaks? Mine wouldnt idle because of a leak at one of the primary injectors. Seems like a pretty tiny leak compared to the brake assist vacuum line being off.

cheesebox

the system has been pressured and leak test/smell tested by running the pump and sniffing around with the UIM off.

OKAY this is weird but I decided to start it and play with the AFM and I got it to RUN!!! by holding the afm in a little and richening up the mixture the car will actually idle good. What settings do I need to mess around with to make the sensors do this richening for me. I am so befuddled I want to RUN!!!!!! please help

cheesebox

Alright TPS adjustments and it is RUNNING, except it idles like ****, again playing with the AFM and richening it seems to get it running better. how do I adjust the variable resistor? mine is covered in glue. I have no bac, or any emissions, where my split air pipe was I have a hole but everyone says that doesnt matter ???
