can you start it with no afm??

[pimptrizkit]

well my question is can you start a motor with no afm and a ecu that has been shipped and unplugged from a car for awhile?

i got what seemed like a sputter but didn't continue to fire, so could it be the injector clips are on wrong or the cps being out of tune?

 

[lagged]

yes you can start it without the AFM hooked up.

It just won't do much other than idle......

i never tried on my supra, but my 94 Firehawk would run for all of 3 seconds with the maf unplugged

but itll idle very well!

LMAO that it does!

I remember forgetting to plug it back in after working on the car and driving around on LPG till it ran dry switching to Gas and NOTHING other than a nice idle !

Very frustrating till I figured it out!

yes you can but reading your post...no ecu? umm its not going to run then. minus the afm youll be ok, minus the ecu not so much

 

[suprasport91]

i forgot to plug mine in and it idled, hell it even ran, i can accelerate at the speed of mollases and then you can hold the speed, (if your wondering y i even ran the car, i live on the top of a hill, i usually just let the car roll down and then accelerate when im on flat level), but it will start :icon_bigg

LOL it drove me insane for about 10 minutes!

Looked down "hey maybe if I PLUG the afm in it might run DUH!" off I went in search of LPG!

haha,
kinda like when my buddy couldnt figure why his car was running on 4 cylinders. Come to find out after 45min of looking another buddy came by grabbed the flathead screwdriver and pushed the injector clips in until they clicked.

My friend was like oh wned:

 

[IJ.]

LMAO !!

yeah funny how the electricity can't jump that last mm or so!

Don't know how many times I've spent hours diagnosing a "problem" only to realise that the problem was me and the fact I'd forgotten to plug something in at the last connection!

 

[shaeff]

i'm not about to go find out, but i find it VERY, very hard to believe that the car will run without an ECU...

[IJ.]

Shaeff: It won't even try to fire with no ECU as there's no ign signal.

 

[SavageDK]

It will, run, idle and run emergencyprogramme without AFK in, it will give you a code though and run really really rich.

At least my euro-supra did that, took 2 days before i took my act together to bother checking what the blinking of the engine lamp meant

alright you guys rock pretty quick replies too!

while, i work tonight but tomorrow i will be tackling my starting problem..

im gona pull the cps and make sure it's aligned right.

i'll check the injector plugs.

and i have the ecu, but it has not been in a running vehical for 2+months possibly longer, ..

i tried cranking the car to show my friends and i had forgotten to plug the ecu back in after skrewin with some thing, and it wouldn't even start.
plugged it back in and bam had cranking power again.
