OK the car hasnt been started up since late November when someone crashed into the car. Since the car was down I decided I'd do the NS conversion. Did alittle here and there and finished today. Problem is the car wont start.

I deleted everything on the car that the Banzai blockoff kit had a plate for and got rid of the thermawax on the TB (including removing the TPS and putting it back on after). Got rid of the rats nest and all of the solenoids. I then installed a new Greddy FMIC, and a gutted high flow cat. Filled up the car with fluids and tried to start it up but it was a no go. The car sounds like its trying to start up but its not quite normal either. It sounds more like something is revving up instead of the normal startup sound.

Any suggestions for what to look for? Do I have to reset my PowerFC maybe?

 

Forgot to mention that I have no caps on any of the pipes on both Apexi intakes, no caps on the air pump but it isnt connected at all to anything, and no cap on the stock elbow's hole where it used to have the hose in it. Think that could be it? I'm assuming it might be but I gotta run to the store in a few and still get the caps.

 

well it sounds flooded to me, follow the unflooding procedure & start the car. did you install resistors where you removed the solenoids?

 

I have a PowerFC so no resistors needed and I thought it was flooded earlier also and tried unflooding it but it still wouldnt start. I'm gonna take the front jack stands out and lower the car though so that the gas isnt struggling to get to the engine.

 

no resistors needed on the powerfc? are u running the oem injectors? if you do then yes, no resistors are needed

 

Yeah Im on stock injectors.

 

my wild guess would be somewhere in the coils area since u mentioned with the rats nets. since its not flooded that could be your problem

take a supressor out to make sure u have ignition. as you may have accidentally disconnected the coils

 

dont forget to change the powerfc setting to single turbo

 

Yeah I turned the PFC to single turbo mode and turned 02 sensor feedback off. I'm gonna have to take the car off the jack stands and go diagnosing tomorrow morning.

 

1. Make SURE all the vacuum lines are connected or capped and no ports are left open
2. Pull the spark plugs and a) replace them or b) clean them good
3. Add 5 gallones of freash premium fuel to the tank
4. Charge the battery up prior to the start-up

Report back



Later

 

OK I bought all new plugs today, jumped the car and tried unflooding the car again today and after a long struggle to get it to start it finally did, everythings good now. Thanks alot to everyone who helped me out here, its greatly appreciated.
