Ok, I guess i'll help you out here ricerj....
Does it get fuel to the rails?
Does it get spark?
Remove all 4 plugs and clean them really good and make sure they are dry when you re-install them.
Pull both EGI fuses and crank the car about 3 times no longer than 10 seconds each time while holding the throttle wide open.
Should start right up if it was a flooding issue.
Is your air flow meter plugged in?
Is the TPS plugged in and set properly?
Did you disconnect any sensors while removing the intake manifolds to replace the coolant hose?
Any vacuum connections?
Did you touch the wiring for the injectors at all?
The spark plug wires are installed correctly correct?
Bottom plugs are L1 and L2
Top plugs are T1 and T2
You said something about your cooling system pressurizing after just a few seconds of cranking...does not sound good at all so far. Have you noticed any coolant loss? Possible that the wetness your noticing on the plugs is coolant...
I can't think of anything else off the top of my head that would cause your no start after such simple repairs...
Go pick up a can of starting fluid, if that doesnt start your car then you've got some serious issues.
If it starts and dies even if you give it throttle then you've most likely got a no fuel or no/incorrect spark issue.
Also, if you guys wanna go up salmon falls/49 sunday night have fun.... getting a ride back in the back of a cop car hahaha. Then paying to have your car taken out of impound, minimum of about $1,000. Then those of you with mods having to pay the fine's for those as well. That is if they even let you have your car back....
You guys do know that it is patrolled at night due to the high level of touge going on up there don't you?
And yes I know you guys, hopefully, wont be doing any of that but you will still be suspected of doing it and can still be taken away for suspicion to drift or whatever they call it now.
Seeing as this thread is filled with more randomness than the meet info, I just installed my Rtek 1.8 chip and my 4x 750cc RC Engineering injectors and holy **** does the car move now
. Can't go over 10 lb's though as it starts getting into the 12:1 range, 13 lb's shot it up to 13:1, so I have now made myself another limiter which is gay, much better than being stuck at 7 lb's and never being able to go WOT though I guess.
I'm guessing 250 ish to the wheels at 10 lb's...
PowerFC is my goal but needed something safe to use for temporary purposes.
Hitting fuel cut at half throttle sucks *****
3" intake with cone filter
Straightpiped 3" exhaust to an Apex'i N1
Walbro 255 pump
Rtek 1.8
4x 750cc injectors
S5 BNR stage 2 turbocharger
Stock TMIC
Greddy RS BOV
LM-1 Wideband
Sunpro EGT
Basic aftermarket gauges, water temp, oil press, oil temp, vac/boost
Just the basics of my setup right now....
No time to install my other parts i've got laying around...rollbar, FMIC, relocate battery, electric fan, fab a new intake, dual borla or similar exhaust, on and on...and on

And I think we probably should keep these threads more on topic in the future. Move our chat to the Norcal Community Chat thread.

Rebuild or you can attempt to use a stop leak but I wouldn't risk that. There is a guide somewhere on this site I believe though just gotta search for it.
Yeah but people don't seem to know it exists. Just consider this the good deed for the year for everyone who tried to help lol.

As posted on the RX8 boards, I'll be there...
I was at the Endless meet too and it wasn't too bad, just hot. Saw Rava and the boys as well.. My car was up front by the doors on display next to the Panthera kit car and Sonny's Euro R TSX.

Rebuild, it's the only way to fix a blown coolant seal.
Some do the stop leak thing, but I wouldnt use that stuff.
If it works anything like waterglass, then your just going to **** up the rest of your engine. ( waterglass is what can be used in engines with blown headgaskets, when it comes in contact with air it hardens up. It also kills a waterpump. Don't use it unless your trading in your car to the dealer haha.)
So how many people are actually going to be at the meet this sunday?
So far the list is...
1.rspeed9i6- gfs na s4....(apex944 has my t2 apart for now) lol
2. apex-944- t2
3. RicerJ - S4 N/A +1 maybe
4. Mutaku - s4 GXL
5. AmviciousRav
6. Leftcoastdrifter
7. CaliRx7guy
8. T-Rex-8
9.
10.

My tires still aren't in, they got Nitto 555s instead of NT-05.. Retards.. So I'm on the fense, depends on if they got anything else comparable in stock.
(NT-05s are the best street/race tire out by now, but I'll even lower my standards far enough to pick up some crappy Azenis 615s if I need to)
