I had a vortech s/c kit on, which I took off. I also had the AAM return fuel system, which I took off as well.

I go to start the car..and it doesnt want to start. i try again...and the car barely starts, sounds like ****, and then stalls out..
I try to start it again, and I look at the afr gauge, it says 27:1. WTF?

I get the damn thing towed to Nissan. They have the car for nearly a week, and now I get a call and the rep says, "theres some kind of intake system on here" (JWT Pop charger) "and all these weird codes, and we cant figure out whats wrong"

I swear to god this car is cursed. Nissan wont even fix the car. WTF do I do now?
What could it possibly be, I know its not the injectors, I checked them and recheccked them like 5 times. Theres no fuel leak, and I cant smell any fuel at all. The car runs worse than if there was an injector not running. Im thinking it could be the stock fuel pump. but I put it back in, and it was pretty snug. Dont know if it can come loose real easy or not. i did have to modify it with the walbro. But it looked perfectly fine when I put it back in. Now im gonna have to tow it 35 miles to my old mechanic to look at it.

Damn I cant believe Nissan couldnt figure it out.

I dunno, I didnt even bother to ask the dealer, I was kinda speechless when he said they dont know whats wrong with it...

Is there a chance that the flash didnt work? Because I accidently started the car without thinking that I had to put the stock flash back on, and it pretty much did the exact same thing before the stock flash. I guess it wouldnt make a difference if something else was wrong, but I never figured the reflash would have failed..I dunno

Make sure your vaccuum hoses are all hooked up correctly. After I did a motor swap on one of my old cars, I had a vaccuum hose hooked up wrong and it wouldn't idle and ran (and i use that term loosely) like absolute crap. After we rechecked all the hoses and hooked them up correctly, it ran like a champ.
