Problems with new rebuild
ok so i turn my key thinking it will start (i have spark and fuel pressure) just the starter spins then it catches and goes to 1k for no more than 2 seconds then shuts off, i took the injectors out and left them hooked up pointed in a safe direction and had some one turn it over. There was fuel coming from them so whats the deal? im suppose to have a j port but i dont see any changes to my runners on my motor and when it goes to 1k it sounds normal which pisses me off even further with guch, but any ways if it was ported on the inside would it start with the factory injectors and ecu ? Could it be a tps problem or even a low compression problem which i hope to god its not since i just got it rebuilt
The lesson i learned is do your own damn work or watch the person doing it like a ******* hawk because you never know whats really going on

Well if its a newly rebuilt engine...i do believe it will have low compression....as they always say you have to drive it for couple hundred or a thousand miles....?¿ all i know is that you have to let your engine's seals get set right....it takes time

60psi on front and 65 on rear
Um, I have never done compression tests so I don't wanna sound like I know all about it.
But I do know that from what I have read here over the years is that 60 and 65 is low low low. People usually talk about getting to the 100's so not so sure that 65 is a good thing.
But then again maybe I don't know **** about that.
I only say this because I think It might be helpful to find out what other people's rebuilds compression is at. And then maybe its that you have crappy compression?

A 'J-Port' is basically a huge bride port that cuts WELL into the water jacket...
It sounds to me like maybe you have a vacume leak somewhere? possibly anyway, your using the stock ECU?

1.When you hold the key to START....the fuel pump runs.
2.When the key is just to ON....the fuel pump does not and should not run.
3.When you hold the key to START and the engine starts up, and then you let go of the key and let it return to ON, the fuel pump continues to run, unlike step 2 above. Why??? Because there is a micro switch in the AFM that now makes a circuit to keep the fuel pump running. When the engine stops running, the flap in the afm returns to its closed positon and the micro switch circuit is now not made, therefore the pump does what???? Yes that's the answer.
Make sure your afm's plug is connected . If it is, try jumpering your fuel check connector and trying to start the car once more. Starts and remains running????? Then the switch in the afm is kaput.

90 is normal average. Anything above that is really good. below 80 and the motor is usually getting tired. 60- the car wont start. But yeah, compression is always low on rebuilds. But it shouldnt be 60- ... more around 70

FrostRacing......the fuel pump check connector is *near* the right front strut tower. Look around the pressure sensor area. The plug is yellow in color. Two sockets in it. It's not connected to anything. It'll be just hanging on the harness. It might be partially hidden by the Air filter. Do not jumper any other plug. It might have a black heat shrink tubing around it, but it'll be yellow in color on the plug. Just put a piece of wire b/t the two sockets. You should hear a clicking when you do that if the key is already to ON. When it's jumpered and the key is to ON you should be able to hear the fuel pump pumping. Put your ear to the fuel filler if you can't hear too well. Should be whirring.

Oh yeah, mine did this too. Check your timing again and make sure u have it in the right tooth. Thats what was wrong with mine.

You better not have a j port with the stock computer. That being said...
Hailers is right on the money. Either your afm is shot or you have a vacuum leak that is not letting the flapper open up. Check around the turbo inlet duct, it is a very common place to have a leak because a) they crack often and b) many times people don't make good connections at the turbo/afm.
Your motor is fine...60-65 may sound very low but your motor has never really run, so it sounds alright to me.
One more time...You better not have a J bridge with the stock computer. Good luck!
