backfiring and hard/no start

i have this problem that the car backfires on cranking and really loud to my ears are still ringing. if the car dose start then it seems like it is running on only one rotor then it stars running on 2 rotors. here is my setup have 550/1600 and have verified that the timming is set right. have pulled the plugs and cleaned them off. they were a little wet. cleared out the motor and nothing.

the engine just got rebuilt 4000 miles ago with a large street port. do you think that 50% staging would have any affect on this because of the injector size difference?
thanks vince

Cleaning plugs does not work.
People never seem to understand that. When you flood plugs. GET NEW ONES.

Being that you are running 550/1600 your staging should be around 85% . Put a new set of plugs verify you plug wires are correct , alot of ppl have installed them in the wrong plug . if it still does it it could be a bad coil , pickup .

well i thought that i was all ready for the dyno but i checked everything and found a werd vac signal to the microtech. so i fixed it and know the car runs like crap. with the vas unpluged it runs way better. you think that it is a tunning issue. i just dont want to go to the dyno and pay for it then figure out that something else is wrong.

thank you, at least you sir, have a grasp for the obvious
though personally i find some variance in "1600" injectors
and also response differences between saturated and peak hold primaries
i find i am between 93 and 98 % usually for these combos

from the admin at micro forums -

so why is your staging value 50%???????
its because the map is bandaided in the higher WOT maps in the 2.5 D tune
and because the car is almost certainly staged at any WOT
so all numbers are set for the flow of 1600+550 , or 1600 + 1000
( or whatever funky combo the source had )
IMO this shows a distinct lack of understanding by the original tuner
it may work, but its all bandaids, and the staging **** pointless
as it is basically running four on anything but idle
---------

well i thought that i was all ready for the dyno but i checked everything and found a werd vac signal to the microtech. so i fixed it and know the car runs like crap. with the vas unpluged it runs way better. you think that it is a tunning issue. i just dont want to go to the dyno and pay for it then figure out that something else is wrong.
-NB, sounds like you plugged into the purge port on TB, its a ported vac and doenst suck at idle-

unplugged = never will stage and run all the injectors
( it will never see 2 psi )

[ if your switch point is 2 inch hg instead, the opposite may be true
also may switch in and out depending on atmospheric and MAP sensor calibration ]

plugged in, it sees 1320 rpm just off idle, so any WOT movement will see the turbo boost and trip the staging
with that 50% value in the staging, its adding 50% to the PWM BEFORE it stages
( ie the primary for that rotor is the bin value + 50% )

when it stages, all 2 injectors for that rotor run the SAME signal
( and the staging value is no longer added to the primary bin value )
BUT you have 550 and 1600
that is, say your asking for 1 ms on rotor 1
1 + 50 % = 1.5 ms x 550 cc= 8.25 cc fuel
staging then happens
1ms + ( 0 % ) x 550 cc + ( 1ms x 1600 cc )
= 5.5 cc + 16 cc

= 21.5 cc of fuel at the staging instant


IE one second to the next at the stage point , 8.25 cc becomes suddenly 21.5 cc
nearly 300% the FUEL FLOW THE INSTANT BEFORE

since yours stages at any throttle movement above 1320 revs
( where the motor isnt really needing a lot )
it is pretty obvious to see why it runs shitty isnt it??

[ bare mind if switch point is 2 inch HG not 2 psi
then the staging is reversed when vac line broken, ie 4 injectors always on ]


sheesh


FFS, read the micro site
dont take silly maps from the net
especially when you see the source at odds to the official website !!
are the alarms ringing or what????
