Title: Engine dead
Post by: Gunni on December 04, 2006, 01:15:03 PM

I can´t hear the pump but am getting plenty fuel in the return line when starting
Also I noted spark on the plugs

I checked 12v´s on the injectors
Also the plugs look a little wet from when I´m starting,

I can get it going with some starter fluid, was even able to make it keep alive like that,

when the whole assembly is together there is very little suction into the air box, I can put my hand completely over it and nothing really happens,

When I got the engine going using starter fluid sprayed into the afm, there wasn´t a very pleasent smell coming from what is probably the exhaust,

I can´t think of a thing apart from the ECU not working right,

Any thoughts?
I´m charging the battery at the moment and eating before I head out again
