hello everybody my name is aj and i have 87 tubo II
i rebuilt the motor, mild street port, tc injectors 720cc, and a 255 warlboro fuel pump, new turbo i think t62, external wastegate, and i will be using my stand alone ecu (power fc), yea have a power fc ecu, so no maf sensor.
the problem that i have is that the car needs a little starter fuild to start up but cant hold the idle, but sounds great after reving to about 3000+
anyone run into this issue and have any ideas or a direction that i can go towards, bc i am all out of options.

 

If it is a recent rebuild, the seals will need time to seat properly. Until then, it is pretty common for it to be hard to start & require a higher idle speed. Adjust the throttle stop slightly, and see if it will idle at ~1K RPM. You should also do a compression test to be sure it isn't absurdly low.

 

i checked the compression it was good not low at all............i will try to adjust the throttle idle, but sometimes i even have to spray a little of ether to fire up which i dont think has to realy to do with the rebuild and throttle control

 

Low fuel pressure? I had the exact same problem with very low fuel pressure.
Do you have an after market fuel pressure regulator with a gauge?

 

thats weird something like low fuel pressure logically would have the opposite effect... or i just dont know nothin!
