ok i just put in a newly rebuilt tii engine s4. i had rebuilt injectors but they were high imp. so i couldnt use them instead i used some other injectors my rebuild had brought along with him
they wernt rebuilt or anything. we used the high imp's seals and put them in primary. then put on some 2ndaries.

it started right up that night but didnt run long because the timing was off. so i re-timed it with bdc's method. i plugged off all vac leaks and properly installed the mas. and finished the coolant lines. its been a few weeks since it's been put in. and i just put a down pipe on. and so i went to start it again.
about 2 weeks ago i started it with the intercooler not attached (on accident) and i flooded the poor thing.

since then. these are the symptoms.

wont start. pulled the plugs. they are all nasty foul. started it with no plugs. crap came out. mix of engine treatment and fuel. blackend. cleaned plugs put them back in. started it. started right up but imidiatly died out again.
went threw cycles of not starting with no fuel till it started on its own with out fuel. flipped swich. started for a second. died. then was flooded.
turn off switch. clear it out till it finaly started with no fuel pump. ran for 4 sec. shut itself off. started it with fuel. runs for a sec. then dies. then seems flooded again

some one said it may be that an old injector stuck open
is this posible? the sudden change of injector?

also i have a long constang beeping noise. no . not like the coolant buzzer. but like my car stalled out and the beep came on. that sound.

update.

got the timing right. it ran. but it sounds very choppy. puffs (dots) of smoke were coming out of the tail pipe. and it sounded like a go-cart. didnt sound right. but it didnt shut itself off this time. ran it for about 2 min reving it up to 2.5

battery died cuz it stalled and my e-fan was on. killed the battery. pulled in the xb to jump off it. flipped off the fuel cut switch. went to start it. it bucked a few times like it was flooded but trying to start. then it kinda started running. i flipped on switch. it died out.

turned off switch. went to start it. it sounded fully flooded. no bucking, no trying to turn over. just spinning . turned on the fuel pump because i thought it just needed fuel. no change in sound. continued just spining not trying to start.

tomarrow i'll pull the plugs again to clean them and clean out the chambers.
as for right now. because both cars were in there running. its hot as hell.

You're dealing with a rebuild which can have low compression if used housings were installed. Couple that with a bunch of assembly lube and oil and you are going to get some starting issues.

Because of the other problems it's hard to say if the injectors are leaking for sure. Generally dripping/leaking injectors will cause flooding and poor fuel economy. But these are also symptoms of a fresh rebuild.

Once you get the engine unflooded and running again, hold it at 2K for about 20 minutes to bed in the seals and burn off the assembly lube. Should be a lot easier to start after that.
