I am unable to get my car to start. The car turns over but does not start. The battery is good and there is just over half a tank of gas.

The problem started after trying to move the car in my driveway with lots of snow. I heard a pop and then I had like no power, I kept having hit the accelerator hard otherwise it felt like it was going to stall out close to idle.

I have checked the fuel pump and it works, also checked the injectors and no problem (1000cc with proper tune). I can't figure out why the car won't start.

 

Check all of the boost piping. Sounds like you blew a pipe off. But your car should start just would have no power.

Boost pipe, or its flooded. Check the plugs.

 

Will be checking the plugs for spark. I know all my piping is good.

 

If plugs check, then it could be a bad pump. Also check behind the drivers kick panel. Check the wires and see if there is corrosion on them.

 

+1 for checking the plugs. You know the boost piping is good because you can see all the connections? Boost leak tests show more people issues that they never knew they had then I can count.

I gotta feeling that you knowledge of the boost piping is faulty. Pop and then no power almost always means you blew a connection.

 

True, but that doesn't explain me not getting the car started.

 

I will double check everything - piping, plugs, pump. If none of those are the cause then I have no clue.

 

stock ecu?

 

yea, stock ecu

 

i had the same issue up here in new york, plugs got fouled. swaped them and she started right up. hope that helps!

 

did u solve the problem?

 

no not yet, have to go buy plugs but cant today.

 

Snow sometimes scrapes against the lower intercooler piping and can cause a major leak. Check that first. Do a BOOST leak test too if you can't find a problem. Fuel injected engines don't flood really, we don't have carbs lol. This problem is most likely a popped intake coupler.
