Engine won't run after turbo swap
I bought the car back in May with the following already on it-
- Rebuilt to stock
- HKS 1.2 mm HG w/ main and arp head studs
- 550 cc injectors
- Walbro 255 Fuel pump
- Maft Translator
- Custom DP, and exhaust
- TO4E .57 trim BOSS/LIPP turbo
- Hardpipes w/ Turbo XS BOV
- Apexi AVCR Boost Controller
- HKS TT
- Greddy Catch Can
- AFPR
- Koyo Radiator
- Flexlite fans
When I bought it the car would not run. The problem was the fuel pump was wired backwards. I got that fixed and the car idled great. I never drove it just sat in my garage collecting dust sadly. Then recently I have so far put the following on...
-HPF IC KIT w/ HKS SSQV BOV ( Tossed the old hardpipes and XS BOV)
-MAFT PRO w/ boost control and the PLX M-300 Wideband
-Went back to the stock fan, but still have yet to put them in, I'm waiting on a fan clutch.
Well w/ that said the past few days, I've came a long ways IMO. Before the car would just crank and wouldn't turn over. Happened to be the timing was off quite a bit. I think the intake side cam gears were off by 5 degress if I remember right, and the exhaust side was off by one. As well as the CPS wasn't lined up.
Earlier this evening I got all the timing squared away. The battery would always die out quickly, not sure why. So I was charging it for a good 20 minutes, and went back outside gave the key a turn and wahh lahh! The car jumps up to 600 RPM's and bounced from 600 RPM's to any where near 1K. This was while I had the gas pressed to the floor, and the RPM's would not climb. TPS maybe? I'm not really for sure. Then I started it again, and the car idled at 1500 RPM's w/o my foot touching the gas. Then I pressed the gas and the car bogged down and died. I checked for codes and threw code 11. I checked the TSRM, and this is code 11 ECU...
Diagnosis
Momentary interruption in power supply to ECU.
Trouble Area
Ignition switch circuit
Ignition switch
Main relay circuit
Main relay
ECU
What I've found out so far-
- The knock sensor right next to the starter one of the wires is out.
- The TPS may be bad
- The only vacuum lines I'm running is from the vacuum port on the front of the intake manifold to the AFPR and the BOV. The back port on the mani is left open. I was told to run vacuum to the boost gauge, and the heater VSV, but never did that yet.
- I found a white plug right next to the ignitor and I'm not sure where it goes.
Okay, I think I covered everything. If someone can help me out, I'd really appreciate it. Also I have pictures on my computer right now of the engine bay, but they need to be resized and what not. Thanks, for your time!
