So I put everything together to see if I can get my KA-T to start so intially it cranks but it wont start and I pretty much floods the engine with gas . So long story short after doing some trouble shooting I check my injectors and the bottom o rings slid off so i put some new ones on they stop leaking but again the car will crank but it wont start. In my intial check ups I checked the following:
- Spark Plugs: They are still good and are parking so that lets me know the distributor is functional (I need some spark plugs that run at a lower temp range but I think it wouldnt prevent it from starting)- Fuel Pump is priming and seems to be working- Starter: I benched started the starter from the car and works well
Conclusions of what I think it could be:
- The fact that there is lots of lots of gas left in the car I have let it dry at days at a time before starting it I guess I am still not doing a good job of airing the gas out. While testing the starter I had the injectors disconnected and the motor did start and run till it combusted whatever gas was left in the car.
- Fuel pressure regulator: I blocked the 4 vacuum lines that come up from under the intake and I think the FPR gets vacuum there and I am not sure if its not getting a good vacuum source as a result of me capping them. (Other then FPR the BOV, Brake booster pump and intake are the only other things that would need a vacuum source right? I capped the EGR system so hopefully that should be it)
- I installed a N60 MAF: I followed the therad on KA-T I pretty much wired up everything but the green and yellow wires (maybe due to me wiring it wrong it wont start? i have heard it will run however it will run like ****)
- The Calum ECU I installed: I purchased it from the previous owner and plugged it in should have a burn for whatever is installed on that car, but I guess something could be preventing it from telling the car to start.
- No o2 sensor (I am waiting to run the wideband so again I heard that would prevent not prevent it from starting however the car would run like ****)
- The injectors: They are modified by the previous owner to make them high flow injectors they were working before but I guess that could be a potential reason why it wont start
- Something stupid as in I didnt tighten a ground down or didnt connect something right as I was reconnecting the harness.
For clarification reasons this what I have installed on my car (The car was running before i pulled it)
Installed and replaced the following:
T3/T4 Turbo kit along with intercooler piping and a FMIC JGS wastegate and blowoff valvemodified KA injectors to spray 600CC of fuelWalboro 255 fuel pumpN60 MAFLightened Crank pullyreplaced front crank seal and rear main sealclutch flywheel short shifterremoved ACblocked EGR tubeCalum ECUaltima fans (installed but not wired up)Clutch flywheel
I know i listed a bunch of reasons but I was hoping you guys could give me some pointers as were to start.
Again I apperciate your help guys
