What is the history? Did you buy it like this? Have you been driving it problem-free and this started happening? I need to know this kind of stuff.

It does sound like it's getting fuel and spark. It ran, so it's getting both obviously. And it's TRYING to start. It's probably a sensor issue. AFM?

Try checking both spark and fuel pulse (not pressure, I'm talking injector pulse) and let us know what you find.

Why are you switching your fuel pump on and off? Check your fuel pressure, it could be a dirty filter sock on the pump itself. Stabbing the CAS incorrectly could be an issue as well.

CAS is installed correctly and the fuel pump its brand new brand and new fuel filter. and i turned it off just incase it was flooded and it started with it off and then once it started and was sitting at like 2 grand for a lil bit i was thinking of leaving it off to see wat happened but then right when i flipped the fuel pump on it died out

Brand new fuel pump, and it won't run with it on....

Did you buy a "high flow" fuel pump?

That would be caused by either the AFM flap door being stuck open which it should not be or the fuel check connector is jumpered or the Brown wire at the circuit opening relay that comes from the check connector is accidentally grounded out.

Sounds like it's only running on one rotor and the car looks like it is shaking from it also.

The reason y I can here it running is because I hard wired the power to the ignition switch because who ever had it before me fucked the fuel pump circuit all up so it dosnt work even when the check connector is jumped. Also it's a rebuildt motor so it better not be running on one rotor or ima be pissed I was there the whole rebuild process to so i doubt it.

I turn my pump on and off with a switch. I totally rewired my Walbro fuel pump via information I found here on the forums. I flip the switch, start the car, and drive it.

Stock ECU or ??????? It does sort of sound like its runing on one rotor though. N374 ECUs sometimes cause that problem.

Injectors work off a pulsed gnd from the ECU to the injectors FYI. The injector primary plugs need to be on the primarys and secondary injector plugs on the secondarys and not mixed up b/t the two.

Sure sounds like a one rotor car though. But I'm not too good at YourTube video sounds so it could be me.

Is it just me or does it look like he needs to put gas in it.

I'd imagine that the very little bit of fuel in it is old.

TII swapped car? The cluster doesn't seem to have the boost gauge like all the TII's I've seen. I think Vdub's right. Old gas will prevent the car from running. Out of curiosity, what are the compression numbers?

Ya it's swapped and I'm not sure wat ecu I have in it right now won't be home for another 2 weeks. And it's brand new gas It was at half a tank and from trying to start it. And it sounds good in real life trust me I kno wat one rotor sounds like I was driving it on one rotor when I first got it. I also have not checked the compression yet .
