Thread: Need some help!

ECU is in fail safe mode, it does that when it finds something wrong with the engine.

Right now the ECU is seeing the DET, and since not only the compression is off but the timing, thus it fires all injectors.

Once you get your new DET program your endless cranking and richness should be gone

I'm hoping Vadim! Car has been down way to long! about 2 months or 2 1/2 now haha

Ha I know the feeling, boost withdraws eh?

Well I talked to a few of my teachers today and they don't see why the chip would have anything to do with the car not starting. They said that I might have fried my ECU? Lets hope not, they also told me to try some new plugs to see what happens, so this weekend new chip and plugs and if this doesn't work I'm going to be clueless....

Plugs is definitely a good choice, I would at least use carb cleaner to clean them out. I need to replace mine badly from the rich days

anyone else have any ideas i don't see how the chip would cause it not to start :/

Is your ECU fully seated in the harness? I had mine in kinda angled once and the pin for the #1 injector wasn't connected. It ran like ass. Also make sure iacv hose is hooked up. I also owned myself like that once.

yeah i double checked the ecu and yeah the iacv hose is attached

I would disconnect the maf, o2 sensor and throttle sensor, make sure your diztribuotr is in the middle of the adjustment slot and try starting the car again. Compression and the ecu base idle tuning has nothing to do with getting the car to start.

Yeah I was thinking about the maf today, I think I'm gonna switch it around this weekend to draw thru to see what happens.

And what do you mean in the middle of the adjustment slot?
