starting problems

[turbo4toy]

OK so i just got my car all back together after the BHG got it home after the 30mile drive it ran great by the way. Then i discovered that there was a fuel leak. The injector orings were bad, causing the leak. Anyway while it was apart i added a lexus afm, 550cc injectors, and a aeromotive AFPR. Now i can't get it to run longer than 5-10 seconds the car has no codes showing up. It fires up pops up to 800RPM runs for a while and dies. Anyway any ideas anyone has please throw them my way. Or if you need me to elaberate on anything. thanks.

did you plug in the AFM?

what fuel pressure are you running with/without vaccum? check the AFPR gauge.

So i found out that my engine coolant temp sensor had no signal and i got that fixed and it started right up. My question is what pressure should i run on my aeromotive AFPR with 550cc injectors and stock fuel pump. It seems to run best at around 40 or 45. No i don't plan on leaving it that way I have a walbro 255 that i have to install as well as either a maf trans or a safc to fix the fuel curve. i just need to get it running well enough to go get tires, insurance, tunning, and registered. It was down for like 2years and will be back with a vengence.

well congrats on gettin it up and running again! bet you're happy, to say the least.

yes i'm looking forward to having it be up and running again for some time now. I've been stockpiling parts and i'm looking to be close to 400hp.

this sounds exactly like a problem i had a few weeks ago. My fuel pump wasnt getting power. It acted like it wanted to idle, and it would bog down and die.

More specifically on the passenger side by the strut, I did the 12volt mod and the wire i used got fried. This caused a crappy circuit which didnt give the engine enough juice.

Hey do you mean the temp sensor that goes in the thermostat housing. if so could you tell me the color of wire/s that go to it

 

[turbo4toy]

Yeah the coolant temp sensor is green and has a green wire and a brown wire and is located by the power steering res. if you do a search for "coolant temp sensor" there is another one of my posts where another member posted a link to the electrical wire diagram. I guess if it is faulty or not functioning in some way it can keep your car from starting.
