hey, barley post on here but i do creep around every once and a while. i got a question that seems easy enough but i have been fighting the last two weekends with it. ill start from the beginning. 2 weekends ago i finally had everything i need to begin my boosted performance turbo kit install. i drove to my friends lil ghetto shop thing to install it. car ran fine and started fine. everything went ridiculously smooth as u can imagine. he labeled every little thing so it was the easiest thing i ever installed. the problem doesn't lay with the turbo kit though. after i installed it the car failed to start. it cranks (starter is moving, fuel pump turns on, battery is charged) but won't start. so i begin to trouble shoot. but everything i trouble shoot is fine! like completely! i started with the fuel pump and made sure everything i installed back there was on snug. then i worked my way back to the injectors (there is fuel right before the injectors) so the pump is definitely working all the way up) idk if u can test the injectors but there on tight with the clips and plugged in so i assumed they were good also. then i check the nats system but the light blinks when i put the key in meaning it should b reading the key. i also checked the spark plugs and they made a spark.i checked the fuses in the engine bay and they are all still connected (internally((both fuse boxes)). what else can it be if im getting spark, and fuel. the turbo spins like nothing so i have to b getting air. anyone ever here of a situation like this? i googled it but didn't fine any thing other than the things i checked.

 

anyone?

 

i see, so paying for jotec to get it started and tuned is gonna b the end result then huh?

 

First, be polite. Second, make more sense. Third, this is maintenance and repair, there is a Forced Induction section where they wont be so merciful.

There are special tools to make sure the injectors are firing. There are also tricks, exhaust should smell pretty bad with raw fuel going through, or pull a plug and make sure the injector sprays when you crank it, this is slightly dangerous, put something to cover the fuel spray and make sure there is no source of spark nearby.

Recheck ALL electrical connections, check for codes that might have popped up and give you a clue as to what is possibly unpugged or not reading.

If Air, Fuel, Compression are ok; check timing.

 

Ok so u want me to pull the plug and see if it sprays while looking down the plug hole? While cranking. Sounds like something worth tryin. I'll let u know

 

No, don't look down the hole. It will be obvious its spraying by the smell and sound, don't let anything get sucked in either. You might be able to tell just by pulling the plug, crank it a few times, pull the plug and see if its wet with fuel.

 

Plug smelled like fuel

 

Somethings not plugged in, or something is terribly wrong with install

 

Thats the thing though. Everything was installed good. I seriously can't **** that up. He had every little line and piping labled. It's rediculious. And everything I seen was plugged in. Ima just take it to joetech next week. Gotta bite the bullet on the $150/hour labor for troubleshooting. At least I know that they know what they are doing.

 

You'll be really pissed when its something simple! Does this use the factory ECM?

 

I will lol and it comes wit Osiris. I got a base map already

 

Double check the MAF and throttle body are plugged in.

 

Those r plugged in. Just rechecked. All though the mass air flow is being pulled. Can't help it though.

 

He lost me at barley. I went elsewhere to tease folk.

 

It makes sense when I read it lol
