I finally got my car to stop flooding everytime I try to start it. But the car idles at like 450-550 and If I try to take it over 1600 rpm it stalls and the knock levels go up. If I try to accelerate very quickly it will also stall. The car is running pretty rich. I have installed a ss braided fuel system with a pair of 1200cc secondaries and a Power FC. Could this problem be a stuck injector? Could my fuel pressure cause this? Maybe I switched the turbo control solenoid with the wastegate solenoid? Anyway I really need to get this car going so I can get it tuned. Any help would be appreciated.

 

If your car is idling that low, either it's ridiculously rich or your idle just flat isn't set right on the throttle body. Get your idle speed up.

If you upgraded your fuel system, I imagine you got an aftermarket FPR in there somewhere. The base fuel pressure needs to be properly set - FPR's aren't just plug and play. Hit up the shop manual and find the base static fuel pressure, pressurize the fuel system, and make sure it's set properly.

I'm going to go with the running ridiculously rich thing. I just tried to ajust the fuel pressure to 45 or so at atmospheric pressure and it stopped at like 42 43. Is it possible gas is leaking by or through the secondary injectors at a higher psi? I'm really stuck here and don't know what to do.
Thanks

 

search under "idle" here on the forum. sounds mechanical. also you base fuel pressure with vacuum line off should be 38psi.

 

I ran it a little bit today and I got it to idle cold, but it idled at like 350-400! Anyway still have no acceleration. knock levels show 26 at 2000rpm in nuetral. The idling is not my main problem. It's that the car will stall if I try to accelerate at all. Would I stuck or partially stuck secondary injector cause this?

 

So could a stuck injector could cause it to stall out and flood right?
