I was driving today in 4th gear, put the clutch in and the car died. I have not been able to get it started again, and everytime I turn it over it back fires very loud. I tried push starting the car but as soon as I dropped the clutch there were a few massive back fires as I was moving and the car would not start. What is going on? Could it be a stuck injector? It is a half bridge motor with the power fc, it was running fine earlier today until this happened. I need some serious help

 

Check map sensor, yo!

 

I had a similar problem a few years ago. (or at least it COULD be similar)

I was driving and the car all of a sudden sputtered and died. Wouldnt start.
After a while, it would crank over and backfire a bunch before settling back down. Then after 5 minutes of driving, it would happen again.

Turns out it was the water temp sensor thingie. Not sure of the actual part name. (not the t-stat). It was basically tricking the ECU into thinking the car was running VERY cold (-35 degrees) and causing a massive fuel dump and flooding the engine.

Maybe the same problem, maybe not, but...

 

Turns out it was just very badly flooded. Got it started today after it sat over night. My wastegate seems to be stuck open a bit now though, probably from one the massive explosions in the exhaust.

 

its kinda weird on how it jsut decided to flood itself....leaky injectors maybe??

 

well I think the lack of back pressure from the exhaust killed it when I put the clutch in. Also, I have my PFC set to leave the injectors open when I let off the trottle to throw flames, but I think with this current map I have it is just far too rich and that ended up flooding my engine.
