Well I won't be toyboing this weekend, I'll have to rely on 100hp and the element of surprise.
Looks like another biker was killed on the Dragon yesterday...

plz lz plz this is an sos i need someone to come pullstart me or pushstart me and use my geo.
I GOT MY BABY TO RUN FOR 5 SECONDS AND I WAS SO FRIGGEN SUPRISED THAT I DIDNT THINK TO KEEP IT RUNNING AND I JUST STARTED FREAKING OUT....
i cant keep it from flooding even when i pull the egi fuse my injectors still pump fuel. all i need is a good pull start and she will live

okay iv got over 100psi on both front a rear rotors iv got fuel (too much) and iv got spark. it sucks in air so why the hell wont this thing start????? i tried pushstarting it but after 4 attempts it didnt work so i know it has to be in the wiring

Quintouple check your vacuum lines, wiring, and timing I guess. There's gotta be something in there, and it might be obvious.
i have alot of connectors the broke off and i cant figure out what is the right wires.
and im not sure which injector clips are primary or secondary.
and iv only got 2 vac lines and the rest is pluged up and aokay
and the timing is correct it has to do with my wiring but i cant find anyone with a s5 that can tell me and the fsm isint much help.
everytime it tries to fire the ecu (says oh the hell no u dont)

The split air pipe running to the exhaust? Nah, not on the exhaust side. Did you remove the air pump? I've heard S5's will run like turds even if you take the belt off the air pump.
The FSM should be all you need to figure that wiring mess out. It's just a pain reading all those wiring diagrams.

yeah i took pff the airpump completely but i cant even get it running and that has nothing to do with it starting. and i cant read the fsm diagramns for ****.
all i really need to know is which injectors clips are primary and which are secondary i can figure the rest out on my own by trial and error

IT IS ALIVE MWHUAHAHAHAHA
now all i ahve to figure out is why i dont have a working temp guage and why my oil pressure is through the roof my guage cant even display it its so high
and why my radiator was boiling over after just 3 minutes of running (i think it was my thermostat ill find out later)

let me count the way every thing was fubar
1 reversed injector plugs
2 spark plug wires wrong
3 1 of the tps was shot (so that even when i floored it to unflood on a s5 it was just giving more gas)
4 and the screw on top of the throtle body was all out of wack (i tink its for electronic spark adjustment??)
and there is still many many fubar things to come that im discovering like
1 temp guage not working
2 maxed out oil pressure
3 wont idle (although im trying to idle on stock setting because getting to it is a bitch)
4 radiator boils over after 2 minutes
5 power steering not hooked up (cant find the wire)
6 and plenty of other dangling wires that i have no clue where they go

well the reason your temp gauge and oil pressure are not properly working is because they are not hooked up, like I explained to you the other night, a boiling over radiator after a few mins....coolant may not actually be exiting the radiator? The screw on top of the TB is a air mix screw, its one of the fine adjusts for the idle, and yes you do need a new set of s5 TPS.
well i fixed the tps the on that was bad is actually the same as a s4 so i canabalized 1 i had. and yes the guages are hooked up wrong my oil pressure dosent ahve the condensor box hooked up(now i know what it is) and my temp guage is hooked to the wrong wire i had the temp and oil pressure sendors mixed up.
also just so u know via the fsm the coil pack closes to the headlight is leading and the coil by the firewall is trailing. i think yours is hooked up backwards derick so that also means your timing is off 180 degrees i guess. see we all learned alittle somthing
and about the boiling over yes that was my thought 2 so i removed the thermostat (i found it in my silver base)it prolly wasnt the best idea to use it in the first place..so now it will take alittle longer to warm up but atleast it might not boilover and almost kill me.
man i should have made a video of that. i was looking at the radiator cap sounding like an air horn and boom the thing explodes off with coolent flying everywhere i ran for my life barely escaping the gushing coolent.

My timing is fine, I manage to idle along and zip around just the same with the same fuel economy ive always had. But glad to hear yours is finally running.
Leading coil is nearest the headlight, plug wires run to the bottom of the block
Trailing coil is nearest the firewall, plug wires run to the top of the block
which i just confirmed via 4 cars all parked outside.

yes only a few minor details to work out then im gonna start driving it some might even take it to work today ans zip by west side honda and see cory about a job.
i dont think im gonna be running at the autox still to iffy and risky to many unknowns still not worth a engine but im still gonna go and watch i took the day off why not i need to put some miles on my motor anyhow

Yup, just remember that break in periods last a full 3k mile oilchange of driving up to 4k rpm's so you dont have seal failure. Least that's what landers recommends on his site.
Though I just remembered, S5's have the shittiest stock temp gauge ever. By the time the gauge says youve started to overheat, youve already been over heating for quite a while.
the re-speed adapters showed up again today, heated em up and man did they just slip right on. Passenger side lacks the SS line being hooked up, and drivers side on the widebody still needs assembled, but at least the hard part is over lol.

Hey, I gave you the firing order, no excuse on that one! Well at least it's running, eh? The whole oil pressure and boiling over in 2 minutes thing would scare me a bit... I think at that point I would call the suicide hotline and tell them that my motor is trying to kill itself. Be careful with that.
Also the S4 and S5 TPS's are different! I wouldn't think a S4 would run a S5 very well at all. Might wanna look into that.
