ok.....so.....my new built motor wont crank....it just turns over....and over....and over.........timing is correct.......spark is going.....fuel injectors are firing.....all the grounds are hooked up......yada yada.....just start shooting me some suggestions and ill tell you whether or not ive done it........im going to check my crank angle sensor tomorrow......ive done almost everything imaginable....only thing i can think of is stock ecu is foobared.
I wouldn't say it's the ECU. You're getting spark and fuel, good signs that the brains are working. Ya check all the vac lines? I'm asuming yes since it's a simple and common problem. What piggy back unit ya running? Have you tried just the stock ECU? I know these are basic things, but sometimes ya forget the basics :-)
If i owned ur car. I would hook stock intake up.. and try starting it with stock injectors.
Wasint it you i was reading did a FPR and fuel rail?
check ur base fuel pressure as well..
stock tc FPR is like 47 i think...
WE NEED MORE INFO!

im almost certain its not a vaccuum line as it wont even try to crank......i tried the stock injectors and still nothing.......i have a descendent fuel rail with an aero FPR set at 43 psi.......it seems to me im getting to MUCH fuel.....i might can try the stock intake but i dont see what that will do as im running basically a cold air intake now(im not running it through my intercooler in other words) to try to get more air.
ahh..
OK well it may be a messed up emanage or.. i think it may have something to do with fuel pressure.. try jacking up the fuel pressure to say 50 psi.. seee wha happenes and report back!

yea the emanage has been the same since day one.....and you cant just uplug the emanage as some of the wires require the emanage to continute the circuit......i was thinking of trying to jump the wires to where it would be like stock but my god thats alot of work haha.......im going to try the stock fuel rail with stock injectors here in a bit with 45 psi of fuel pressure
