South Bay - Help - Car Won't Start
 

Since I first got the car I've had that boost issue everyone has heard about. So I decided that today before work. I'd do the "poor mans" non-sequential and just not deal with this anymore. Well last night.. I went to start my car...and it won't start. I tried removing the egi fuse (after talking to ZERORX7-Jaime) and unless I did that wrong... who knows. I didnt have anyone to help me push start it to see if that works. Then I tried the same thing again this morning. And since this is a whole new platform to me. I dont have the tools or a way to remove my spark plugs *let alone..never done it before*. Now Im completely stuck..and cant even get it to one of my friends garages or pads.

If anyone can help. It'd be greatly appreciated. I'm totally lost and wondering if getting my dream car...was a mistake. *Which I'm refusing....seriously refusing to believe* :icon_no2:

checked all fuses. replaced the 120A main fuse. Still nothing. Getting a leak on the passenger side. seems like gas & oil mixed.

damn, sorry bro. i think R&R is done for that's why i haven't even hit you up. =/

what the hell did you do? did the car start before?

:AA:

Car started and ran fine. Drove it to meets and everything. Just had a hard time starting in the cold at my friends house...then it started up fine...drove it home. Parked it. Havent driven it since 3am Jan 1st. Haven't left the house. I went to start it friday night. Wouldnt start. Then I trouble shooted all day today.
Mods are HKS downpipe, apexi intake, Jasma Exhaust, & a radiator. Thats it.

A few friends are saying the Spark Plugs are probably fouled...since I haven't purchased new ones..and I got the car Oct 3.

yeah, that might be it..or it might have been overboosted..do you have anykind of engine/fuel management? did you know that when you open up the air intake and exhaust that it up's the boost as well? you need more fuel to back that extra boost up if you dont then..pop goes the weasle. but in your case i would check the spark plug's as that has been a long time for the motor to go without fresh plugs..if you need a some help with removing them i can make a trip and pull them out..OR if you want to do it yourself the best way is to go from underneath on the driver side without removing anything. or you can remove the whole intake elbow and that will allow access to them as well.

:AA:

We arent too far from eachother. I dont have any fuel management yet. I still have the midpipe in place. I'll try tomorrow. If I still need help I'll PM you. I am totally clueless in this situation though and everyone I know that can help is stuck in Santa Ana doing a custom dyno cell or racing out of town

just call them im sure they can take one second to answer your questions. other then that you can start with the plugs..make sure you get the right one's..in case you dont know what the right one's are: get NGK's only! the plug part number for
FD is..

BUR9EQP you need two of those and..
BUR7EQP you'll need two of these as well..

i would replace them since your going to pull them no point in pulling them and not replaceing them. also REMEMBER OR WRITE DOWN which wire came from which plug, if you lose that your screwed and will have to trace them back to there original spot.

:AA:

went to Kragen. they just looked them up and had em. the 7's for leading. 9's for trailing. also a friend said FD's can run 9's all around

car runs like a champ. thanks guys
