Well I guesds I just do not have any I dea, I have tried every possible search I look at my engine over and over, man whatever..... wow excuse me while I catch a qwuick buzz... I just really dont have any Idea. I have cleaned bvac's, I have done the hose job, compression test, I have spark, I smell fuel, replaced wires, unflooded it, checked all my connectors, changed the fuel filter, I have and hks intake, downpipe, FCD, TURBO TIMER THAT ONLY F-ING worked once, man I just dont know why this thing does not wanna start. If you know that I have no hope, let me know or let me know if Im a dumbass

Timing? Have you set your CAS correctly?

What are your compression numbers? Did you check the ignition timing by holding a timing light over the marks while an assistant turned the car over? Are you 100% CERTAIN that your exhaust system is not plugged?

These are the things that pop to my mind when you say you checked all those other things but still have a disarmed engine. Fight off your doubts and keep trying. One time an engine of mine would not start despite doing a valve job and a bunch of other stuff, because its catalytic converter burned up and clogged because someone ran regular leaded fuel in the car. Another time the machine shop didn't seat the valves on a cylinder head and I could not figure out what the f%$@ was wrong with the engine that I had just rebuilt. I know how you feel man, just don't give up. It will be something you are not expecting. And yes, I did drive piston engine cars at one time in my life

I've never messed with it at all.. It was running great..I pull into the gas station to fill up one evening and I fill it up. On the way home doing 55 it shuts off, The next day one the way to ework it did the samre thing but alot worse, and finally I thopught it was the fuel filter and I replaced it at the parking lot of my job. After about thirty minutes my friend shawn and I finally pushed started it after a very valiant effort to push it. All the way home it was stalling its in the garadge and thats were its been. help whats the cas and how can it be adjusted??

i had some issues that sound something like this when i bought the car, ithink the main problem was the TPS was set to 46% throttle at idle, so when i wasn't giving it gas, it was putting in 46%throttle worth of fuel, and it would stallat low RPMS and then woudln'tw atnt o start because tiw as flooded. try getting an SAFC and tune the TPS or do with with test lights or something i think on tamfc3s they have tutorial.

what an apexi?safc? does it matter what make?? I've been meaning to get one anyway.. i hope something happens, more than likely i'll order it later this week. Could it be leaky injectors??

yeah the SAFC u can read throttle on it, and the sensor its reading it off off is the TPS, i just kepe loosening the screw till it said 0.

nope he said comp test.... i would check the afm to make sure that it is plugged in all the way and is mounted properly...i had to tilt mine to get a perfect idle... tps is another issue..although a bad tps will not affect start up you can sometimes run cars without these so that wouldnt be the problem... bac is what it sounds like as in a bad bac overall.... you need to unplug it and see if you can start the car, it will not rev to 3k like it usually does but if it starts then that is your answer...i would also get someone to pull you and start it say 30 mph in 3rd gear 2nd if you want to bark your tires... you could just be flooded really bad and that will surely rid the fuel -Gabe

I pulled my bac and tried to start it and it didnt start, yeah I'll try to pull start it I cant find a bac anywhere near me around here and I have to get this car running before the end of this month. Im driving it to florida. I did pull it out and cleaned the bac. I also cleaned the intake filter

the way it was just dieing makes me thing its a fuel problem... may be bad gas? did you get the gas from a major station or a mom and pops place? or it could be a fuel pump too i had the same problem with my beater car wouldnt start all the sudden no matter how long i cranked on it but i smelt gas so out of frustration i changed the fuel pump and now it runs better than it did b4. (but with a working pump i have now developed a leacky injecter)

pulled the plug or the whole thing? just wondering.... you can always do a fuel pump check and you do that by turning the key to the on position and then you jump a yellow plug near the pressure sensor by sticking a paper clip in it... you are checking to see if you hear a wine or some kind of noise that tells you the pump is working.... so check on that

ah. check the mas wires. sounds like its that. if not check your whole fuel system. if you got spark,comp,fuel it should start.

HAILERS

If you REALLY have spark.....buy a can of starter fluid and spray into the snorkle prior to the air flow meter. Try to start the car. IF there really is spark...it will fire up. I'd suggest disconnecting the fuel pumps electrical plug first. Your only looking for it to go varoom for a second or two. Try the spray a couple of times. Never spray for more than b/t one and two seconds into the intake and never ever try to keep a car running on starter fluid or you'll bust the apex seals. Just spray, get in the car, and try to start.

If the car indeed goes varoom, with the fuel pump connector disconnected, then look for a fuel delivery problem. But if no varoom, look for a lack of ignition problem. The above gives you a sense of direction. Fuel or ignition.

WELL ITS THE NEXT THING TO CHECK I guess, I have all afternoon, I'll let you guys know later on this evening how evertything is going... thanks again
