Thread: i need some advises my car wont start

hi, yesterday i instaled the 370cc injectors and a JWT ecu programed for my setup(turbo, stock maf, 370cc), and the engine doesn´t want to start, the old battery dies trying to start the engine, then i tried with other battery and the same thing, all the electrical system works fine(headlights, stereo, power windows) but the car never run.

the pintlecaps from 2 of the injectors was broken, before i changed the injectors one mechanich told me that shold ignore that borken things, but i´m starting to think that he was wrong.

any advise will help me alot

why would you ignore broken things thats like having to take a dump and ignoring it. Doesnt make sense

Alex,

Because the pintle caps mean nothing. If they were broken, though, you should have removed them all together.

Do you hear the fuel pump prime when you turn the key to the on position, before you crank it?

What about spark? Are you getting spark when cranking?

yep, the walbro sounds working right in fact i lett that the sound desapears to torn the ignition key, i didnt check the spark, i´ll do this by the night

i cheked the spark and its good then i proceed to add a litle gasoline into the intanke manifold and the engine starts for a moment until the gas was there, it seems that my injectors are not working.

on december a friend of mine cleaned these injectors on his lab, and told me that they were working right i wonder why on my car doesnt want to work , i´ll check the voltage on the fuel rail.

Bad injector drivers would be the least likely at this point. Is everything grounded properly?

No vacuum leaks? Pressure tested the system?

Pull the fuel rail, and turn the key to the on position. See if the injectors leak. If not, then you could pull the distributor and turn the rotor by hand to see if the injectors fire, or not. Best to have the fuel rail laying in a pan or something while you're doing it so you don't shoot fuel everywhere.

possible blown fuse ?

i remove the injectors and checked with the lab again and surprise the where completely closed after a while in the lab they start to open one by one, i cant wait to install them again and see what happends

Ouch. So they were clogged injectors?

yep, but now the are working right thank god
now i have to finish the cold side and feel te boost
