Hello,
I have searched the forum and haven't found anything about the issue i'm having. Today I installed a supercharger on my 2005 scion tC. Everything appears to be hooked up the correct way but the car just wont start. The engine turns on then immediately turns itself off. Has anyone else out the come across this issue? I have no idea if it would be a fuel problem, ECU problem etc... If anyone out there has any feed back i would really appreciate it.

 

are you using any form of engine managment?
are couplers tight and sealing?
is the maf fully seated with o-ring in place?
is maf connected?
did you happen to leave the vent hose connecting to the pcv off while you were putting in the injectors?
are injectors fully seated with no fuel leaks?

 

Also, did you swap in an ecu from a diff car? If so, you need to learn it to your car, if you didnt this is exactly what itll do.

 

double check to make sure your fuel injectors are clipped in.

 

did you get the ECU flashed?, check the maf is properly installed...

edit: also if you are using an ecu from another tC then this is what happens

 

also check your wire to the crank sensor i think it was extended for it make also make sure its not pinch too. also check the vac. line that goes from valve cover to the supercharger too.. on top of what everyone said.

 

Thanks for the advice but i found the issue. after we did the install we forgot to do the paper clip trick on the ECU to register it to my car.

 

glad you got it worked out...happy boosting

 

Thanks a lot. I am enjoying the boost. I am running the supercharger with the NST 9.5 pulley
