so my 87 turbo 2 is having issues i cant get it to start and when we shut it off it floods. it has no emissions, bigger injectors, no air control valve, aftermarket ecu, and its a pain in the *** to start it...what could be my problem??

 

do a search.engine maybe on the way out, leaky injectors, forgot to put sparkplug back in? more deatails.....

 

how can you shut it off if you cant get it to start? need more info

everyones so fast to goto blown engine. if it runs does it idle good?

 

well basically to get it started we had to get the spark plugs dry and put oil in to dry up the fuel because it was flooded but it had idling problems and it would idle so low sometimes it would almost die

 

Plugs fouled? Engine blown? Did this just happen randomly or right after you installed some of your aftermarket parts?

 

You do not put oil in it to "dry up the fuel". You remove the fuse or disconnect the fuel pump, take the bottom plugs out and turn it over for a few seconds if i recall so.

Also do a compression test and see if your engine is still within reasonable compression.

 

i will get the compression results and post them and the car was running for like a week once i bought it but it was getting harder and harder to start and then it died while i was in a wide turn and i started it up and went to drive it died again. now it wont start without pulling the plugs...

the car just had a rebuild done recently could this be a problem or could it possibly be leaky injectors?

 

Post your exact setup. Anything that would pertain to this - I don't care if you use redline synthetic diff fluid (as an example) becaue that has nothing to do with start up.

"aftermarket ECU" - very vauge
"bigger injectors" - again very vauge

To me, it sounds like these two are half your problem. The other half is the fact that you clasify those two mods as "aftermarket ECU" and "bigger injectors" as opposed to - Mircotech LT8 or 1000cc secondaries.

In order to help you we need to know pertinant information, otherwise I'm just pulling guesses out of the air.

the car also floods every time we shut the engine off . . .

here are some pics of the engine if that helps...

 

i had an issue with the engine flooding after short trips. The engine had 5k at the time so i thought it couldnt be that. after cleaning the injectors and installing them properly, the problem was still there. I could always get the car to start, but eventually i blew the motor. The compression (before blown) was on 65/face. There were LOTS of ameture building flaws and that was the main problem with the car.

My brothers NA was stalling on him and it got progressivly worse. Turned out to be a blown oil seal in the motor.

I'd do a compression test first. This will answer a lot of questions

Check the injectors second. If they are leaking really bad, chances are they were installed incorrectly. There MUST have the correct o-ring on the injector and they must be lubed to seal right.

 

ok ill try those things
