Car struggles to turn over

[zitupbaby]

Hey guys...I am back!

This must be the spring of $1,000 to $3,000 LOL

OK, here is the deal:

Car does nto want to turn over ahve crank the hell out of it and give it gas then rev it to at least 4000 or 5000 rpm to get it to stay started. Then play with the gas a little and she is ok. I have to give her gas when I first move or she will die right off the bat, if that happens something strange occurs. I try to turn the car voer again and it just acts like the starter is nto making contact with the fly wheel or (the flywheel is missing teeth) you know the high pitched noise the starter makes.

Everytime I try to start the car and I am unable to because I didn't crank it long enough, it flouds, and have to wait. Also the whole starter scream usually happens too.

Thanks for the info guys!
Let me know if you need anymore info from me.

Check the ecu for codes, have you done any work on the car? This just started happening?

Check that the CAS is about centered in the adjustment slots, as we cannot check timing without engine running properly.

could this all be due to a faulty MAF sensor?

[robomatic12]

Unplug it and see what happens, the car will run on a "safe" tune. (Unless the z32 ecu needs maf to run, please correct me if I'm wrong)

It will run, but bog hardcore when power is applied. I accidentally left the MAF unplugged on the TT after a filter cleaning once.

[zitupbaby]

it wont even turn over when I unplug the MAF I have one on order

[Ace2cool]

If it's not turning over, there's a different problem, not related to the MAF at all. I would look to the starter or battery.

If it is cranking and not firing, the there is another electrical problem with the ignition circuit, as the MAF being unplugged will not cause the car to not fire, and the ECU will run off a "safe tune", based on throttle input from the TPS, O2 sensor readings, and RPM.

[zitupbaby]

when the maf is unplugged the car will not run at all fyi

[robomatic12]

It should... I tested mine the other day. It will stall, but if you restart the engine it will fire back to life.

Have you solved the problem?

[zitupbaby]

the problem is unsolved....and it sucks.

[robomatic12]

Have you checked the ecu for codes? Check the temp sensor connector for corrosion, might as well check them all

[zitupbaby]

car was flooded big time no clue why, I cleaned the IAAC today put it back on cleaned the conetors as best as I could an now the car won't start, it cranks but won't fire. I got her goingand started playing around with the idle screw she was running rough and noticed that one of the elec connections was loose on spark plug push it in tighter, left her running, went inside to wash up came out and she was dead. Nw she wont fire at all, what the heck is going on now?

[robomatic12]

Perhaps you have a fuel leak, one of the injectors may be leaking out fuel. Pull the spark plugs to see if all or just one in particular is soaked in fuel.

[zitupbaby]

no fuel leak coolant temp sensor is bad.

zitupbaby your last post was "no fuel leak coolant temp sensor is bad." does that mean that youve fixed your problem and it was just the coolant temp sensor? because i seem to have a similiar problem to yours thanks in advance.
