Cliffnotes:
Parked car, it drove normal. started it next day, was not running on all cylinders. Switched out spark plugs, no effect. Messed around with injectors, 2 of the cylinders werent getting power.
Took it to triwerks (awesome guy Alex) and they did a 3 day check of eveyrthing, i mean voltage, injectors, ecu, etc. So it's come down to the fact that my fuel pressure stays at almost 5 bars on my gauge, so is it most likely a tune issue? Could it be that something went wrong and my cars timing got all retarded and it's running like that?
I'm waiting to take it back to the peeps who tuned my car, but i just need something to go on! i know this is a long shot, but i mean does this sound like something that COULD happen? cause at this point i'm helpless.
What do you mean 2 of the cylinders were not getting power? As in the coils or the injectors not firing? To properly check this the intake manifold needs to be removed. Did they remove the intake manifold and injector rail and crank the car? Did they also crank the car with the coil packs out to check for spark? I recently had a injector driver fail on my ecu. A few days ago a coil pack burned out. It will make your car run like poo.
yeah i did plug my ecu back in.. didnt change the problem. is it possible that something went wrong with the tune and retarded my timing? maybe why my car is running like crap?
Did you not read my post. I read the thread you linked. You have 1. Bad coils 2. Injectors stuck open or not firing 3. Bad ecu. It is one or all of those 3.
It took me about 2 hours to figure out I had a bad ecu. That was with using a multimeter on the ecu and running a new injector wire to be sure. I also had 3 bad coil packs at the same time so that didn't help.
