ok so i just got my car running again for the first time in about a month. i had 2 clogged injectors and i couldnt get it to start.

so after installing some 75lb secondaries, clean and flowed my primaries, new injector clips all around and an rtek 1.7 ecu it was running fine and no problems for the past 24 hours. on the drive home today it was fine...till i pulled into the neighborhood.

i downshifted into 2nd and it almost shut off. i got it home and it sputtered down stayed alive then died. i noticed some smoke right before it shut off so i popped the hood and jumped out to check...no fire.

i started it again and it starts just fine but as soon as it starts if i dont give it gas it dies and if i give it enough gas to stay over 1K rpm then its fine. under 1K it smokes out the exhaust.

also i checked for error codes and there are none. im thinking its something to do with ignition and the smoke unburnt gas?

Could it be some injector(s) stuck open?

Check the compression. Even a finger gauge would tell you if there is an apex seal gone.

well the motor has just been rebuilt in the past few months by RR so i doubt its the apex seal.

i checked my spark plugs and replaced them. the injectors are brand new high imp so they shouldnt be a prob...im leaning toward the rtek. i bought it a while ago and im thinking it might be the problem. it sounds like the timing is completely off. i dont get how it can go from running fine for 24 hours to it being completely screwed with nothing breaking and no visible problems besides smoke.

I'd definetly check the compression, for sure now.
