noooo u guys locked my thread when i was just starting to get some ideas about whats goin on with my car!!!!

i need to max the throttle to get it to start....and no even with throttle it doesnt stay on....

hmmm....turbo oil plumbing.............how to fix if it is?

 

I would suggest checking AFM operation/make sure its plugged in. Do you have it plumbed in front of the turbo so the turbo draws air through it?

As for the leak: take the under tray off, clean everything off, and then try to start the car, see where it drips then. It's just a matter of finding what fitting(s) are leaking)

 

I don't mean to be a jackass, but I think it's time to take your car to someone who knows. I've tried to answer your questions in PMs (as have others), and you've been battling this for a long time now. It's probably just going to frustrate you more and more. Someone who knows what to do can probably get the car running very quickly.

However, I will try to help here. But first I need to know (as does everyone else who can help):

What is the EXACT setup on the car? Be specific.
What EXACTLY have you checked and how did you check? Be specific?

Do you have:
-fuel?
-spark?
-proper timing?

Is the car flooded? Have you tried to unflood it? And how did you do so?

 

Replace the spark plugs?

 

hey, where'd my post go! :P

(I think I know the answer)

 

There are times when you just have to pay the piper and get it fixed by someone in the know, especially with winter closing in. You'll find lots of support here, but even the most supportive cannot guide a blindman to cross the freeway alonge at rush hour. LOL

 

Terh feel free to post again =)
ive paid basically every1 around here that knows something about 7s
(not canjam yet maybe theyre the only ones)

there is spark (new plugs too)
fuel
and timing is correct

exact setup should be....er....
S4 n/a engine
with
S4 UIM and LIM
S4 turbo
straight turbo-back exaust
removed egr valves
FMIC
safc 2
have BOTH n/a and TII ecu

 

If I get it running, will you give me your Impreza?

 

first question , what ecu are you running and what primary injectors and what fuel pump?

If your running 550 cc turbo injectors with the NA ecu you are problably most likely fluding while starting.

What AFM are you running ?

Your best bet is to run everything from same series such as:

S4 T2 injectors,
S4 T2 ECU
S4 T2 AFM
S4 T2 pressure sensor
S4 T2 fuel pump or better ( fd works good also )


And what year is your car, S4 or S5 ? if you have S5 you might want to get the S4 engine harness ( the injector one ) .

Also how did you replum the Turbo drain ? Into oil pan or where ? and where are you getting oul feed from ?

 

Maybe try making a post in the 2nd gen section. That area is typically reserved for questions like these

 

B6T : if u get it running i will treat u to a nice dinner =)


cars S4 right now the S4 TII ecu is in with 550cc injectors

 

With fuel (even WAY too much) and spark at the right time it should start. Have you tried pushing it (with another vehicle)?

Does the car try to start at all? Coughs? Backfires? Smoke?

I assume you have compression...

Is your CAS in backwards?

If you use a timing light, do you at least see the leading mark on the front pully while cranking?

 

How are you checking for fuel? Are you just checking fuel pressure? See if the ECU is getting power. Check all the fuses.

 

i'd pull the primary fuel rail and check sprey while someone else is cranking it over, remember to unplug the coils.

 

yes compression is perfect
it does smoke n cough
im thinking right now that the TII ecu is cutting my fuel because i dont have a TII boost sensor in yet
would that be a problem?

 

Likely not an issue.

What is the timing? Can you at least see the leading mark on the front pully when the car is being cranked?

Have someone else listen to the injectors with a stethescope or long screwdriver while you crank the car. Do they click?
