Fixed start up problem.

[Luderacer14]

I had a leak in my intercooler pipe, and my engine was overflowed with fuel. My mech fixed it and tomorrow, I 'll be putting on the last pipe and I'll be boosted!! I will post pix.. !

i guess i need to recheck my IC piping.....how did u go about checking urs?

[Luderacer14]

My mech actually checked it, one of the couplings was letting air through and my maf was'int reading enough airflow and thats why it did'int start. Plus I pumped tons of fuel in my engine when I was trying to start it and fouled my plugs. Hopefully, my car won't run ****ty again when I hook up the turbo. I'll update and tell u how it goes.

well sad to say i was in the same boat as luderacer. I pulled off my wheel well plastic guard to switch it out as i had torn up the previous one and what do i see................the upper hot pipe is barely connected to the lower hotpipe

Ding, lightbulb over the head. so i reconnect them and voila, instant gratification with a perfect idle and a lovely purr.

If anyone and i mean anyone has the same issues, look for loose connections. U can easily tell by the "jiggle test". If you try to wiggle either the hot pipe or cold pipe, there should be absolutely no play in the pipes. The hot pipe can jiggle a minute amount if ur using a 90 degree silicone coupling like me but the cold pipe should be firm like balls.

Anyways, im happy and i shall share the rest in a another thread
