Megasquirt Wont idle / start
Wont idle / start
MS-I 2.2 MSnS-E Daughter board 029t
87 T2, Emissions removed, Cone intake, 1000cc Secondary / 550cc primary Low impedence injectors (~2.5 ohm) running through stock resistor pack(6 ohm). The fuel pump was replaced, but I am unaware of what it is.
Innovate WB02 sensor / xd-16 gauge.
Optima red top battery
The timing is set to where it was before I started messing around, but I have tried moving the CAS around without much luck.
Basically the only way I can get the car to "start" is by setting the REQ_FUEL to anywhere between 1-6 and having the throttle floored. After it sparks up, it usually will shoot up towards 6-8k rpm, which I know its leaning out , but wont start without throttle floored. (I can tell its flooding from starter bogging) I have been attempting to start the car without the WB02 sensor turned on because it loses power while cranking and ends up reseting itself from all of the restarts.
One thing I do notice is a conciderable ammount of fuel / oil on the trailing plugs and O2 sensor (which is probably why my o2 sensor is going haywire). Possible oil injector failure causing excess oil to blow into the intake essentially flooding the engine?
Attached is my MSQ file.

Next time you attempt to start, run a datalog. It's very helpful for troubleshooting.
Pull the fuel pump fuse, pull plugs, and verify spark. Be sure all plugs are connected and grounded when cranking to avoid coil damage. Then re-set the CAS again. Take and post a pic of the CAS with cover off when the pulley is aligned with the leading timing marks.
Sounds very flooded. First off, pull out that wideband sensor and stick the plug in there. That'll hopefully save the sensor from any further contamination while you get other things sorted out. Get the plugs out and cleaned.
Highly unlikely.

I attempted starting the car with / without throttle play and as you can clearly see, the rpm drops with throttle closed. (~500 rpm difference and it wont run) I am possibly thinking I have wired in my secondaries as my primaries by accident, but that wouldnt cause the req_fuel to drop to 2.
Thanks for any suggestions. They are greatly appreciated.

There's a problem with your map signal. Is the hose connected?? It's reading a steady 98 kPa. That'll certainly dump lots of extra fuel into the engine. Your TPS signal doesn't appear to be working properly, although that's not a major concern at the moment. Check your main ground cables from battery through to engine. The coolant and air temp drop when cranking, indicating a problem in this area.
Also, grab the MegaLogViewer, and use it to view logs. It makes these sort of problems easier to see.

Thanks again for the help, I will reply once I do a good check-over of everything.
