My friend just got my car back from RTC in lexington and gave me a call. He said the car was running GREAT. Better than new and it sounded good, idle was good, cold start was perfect and everything seemed too good to be true. Well... Yea.


He pulls up to a stop light and it just dies. No idea why nothing. Wouldnt start what soever. He had to get it towed back to my house. I take a look at my car, and this is what i've done that didnt work:


Fuel pump is good and still kicks on. No lines to/from the fuel pump are disconnected. There's no leaking. I didnt foul any plugs. There are no stray wires around the ignition or anywhere in the engine bay. I didnt blow any fuses. The car cranks but doesnt start. I know it takes three things to start a car.. spark fuel air. It's getting the spark, and air i just dont think it's getting the fuel. What can i do???? The injectors are in place, FPR is fine with all lines connected. There are no leaks either which i dont understand.. Here are my mods:


AMS 35r kit
1000 injectors
Walbro fuel pump
HKS cams
fidanza cam gears
Tial BOV
Turbo XS FMIC
Injen UICP
AMS LICP
Greddy boost controller
eagle rods
wiseco pistons
eagle crank
blah blah blah blah
bunch of other things

 

Put some gas in the tank! J/K

I would say check all fuses again. good luck

 

Did you check all the IC pipes to see if one has blown off.

 

it would still start if an intercooler pipe was off i belive

 

Yea, the intercooler piping is on. If that was the case it would just bog and run like poop. The fuses are fine .. ANy other ideas guys, keep them coming.. Oh by th way i have a standalone ECU. It's the autronics

 

take out each spark plug and examine them?

 

Maybe a CPS or CAS ?

 

do you have a battery relocation kit?

 

No, i have stock battery. I've changed every spark plug and still nothing. I have no idea. Keep them coming guys. I need every opinion or idea you can give me.

 

I'm goign to rip it apart here soon and figure out if it's the CPS or CAS.

 

Well.. I'm guessing he started your car inside rtc.. Then left and killed it and it wouldn't start back.


Don't trip to bad man. I'm sure it's something to do with the autronics. And Dan will fix it.

I know my car use to have autronics on it and the previous owner would take it off for the winter.

Drew (white gt35r evo) said something about putting hotpacks on his IAT to start his car in cold weather.

IS your car in the garage?

 

Is there a fuel pressure gauge installed under the hood?

 

I'm needing a little more clarification. First of all, was all of that done to your car at once (you'd be the man if it was)? If not what was done to your car?

If I had to feign a guess, either you blew a fuse, or something went amiss with your autronics. I'd start by re-examing your fuses, and then checking your autronics starting with the wiring. Other than that, the only other thing I can think of is your map or a cold start issue? Either way, your problem doesn't really strike me as mechanicalm unless I'm missing something.

 

No, i did the standalone, internals, 35r, injectors all at once. I had most of the mods done before this happened. I'm goign to check all my fuses and make sure they are all fine. The car is in my garage yes and i've ripped it apart adn looked at everything.

 

I've tried everything!!!!!!!!!!! Do you think the tune has something to do with it?? If not, i found a really nice steep cliff to roll the 'vo off of haha
