    Used Jricher's checklist and still cranks but no start!

    I got it! one of the wires going to the positive side of the solenoid somehow got pulled out. Now shes running but the copper line for my mechanical oil pressure gage died. I can't wait til this thing is done. I'm putting a cummins 4 cyl in my ranger with 1 ton axles. Yay. No more EFI.

    Used Jricher's checklist and still cranks but no start!

    Just figured I'd update this for future people. It was the fuel pump! It didn't have a one way valve on it and the wiring to it was from the acc. panel (jackass who owned it before me) so it would lose all fuel pressure while trying to start. I just wired up the relay to run it while cranking so...

    Whats the Difference between a BOV and a wastgate?

    alright guys some of you are way off here. They are completely different. The wastegate diverts exhaust gas from the turbo so it doesn't spin any faster or make any more boost. A BOV just vents off INTAKE air that would rush back into the turbo when the throttle blade is closed. PS for...

    questions on my 351

    The question is what do you want to do? Just spend mindless money on a car? I'm 18 and beleive me it can get ridiculous. I built the turbo kit for my car and man once you start you can get in over your head quick. If things are going okay I would leave it unless you got a lot of money and a...

    Install complete!Should it be this Loud?

    My car used to be pretty loud with no cats and mac mufflers. Now I have a single turbo with single 3" exhaust and a dynomax ultra flow. It sounds good but is now nice and quiet. Definitely recommend a turbo and that muffler if you want to be faster and quieter!

    Fixed wire on fuel pump now car runs terrible.

    as it gets hotter, it gets worse and will sometimes do it at idle. My battery went dead last night. Know why? My computer is not shutting off. My PMS handheld unit is always on. And the "low fuel" light is always on. I don't think it's the ignition switch since everything else is turning on fine.

    Fixed wire on fuel pump now car runs terrible.

    I do have a scanner but its not with me right now. Do you think the problem could be low fuel pressure?

    Fixed wire on fuel pump now car runs terrible.

    im running a 255lph pump. It has been running pretty good until i just last pulled the pump and changed the filter and fixed that wire. It's a brand new ATI protube MAF that should be good i dunno what the deal is.

    Fixed wire on fuel pump now car runs terrible.

    I just had to drop my tank because a wire broke off my fuel pump and now the car won't boost well at all. It cuts off as soon as I get into boost. I installed a new fuel filter while i was at it. It seems to only do this when hot. I tried a new TFI module to no avail. It's hard to start as...

    Used Jricher's checklist and still cranks but no start!

    Yeah I have a feeling it's a fusible link somewhere. I just drove around a little and it was missing under low load at low rpms. I shut the car down for a while, started back up as usual. now im at my house and it won't start back up. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

    Used Jricher's checklist and still cranks but no start!

    I just took the car out for a drive. Drove fine except for a miss in the low RPM range. Still doesn't start unless I crank it over 3 or 4 times though. on the 2nd and sometimes 3rd time it will sputter but not start and on the 4th it will start if i gas it a little.

    Used Jricher's checklist and still cranks but no start!

    well i just got it started again. This time it was with no MSD box. The tach was working fine. Still wouldnt start on the first try though no matter how long I cranked it. I had to crank it at least 2 or 3 times sometimes 4 for it to start. Usually i need to give it a little kick of the throttle...

    Used Jricher's checklist and still cranks but no start!

    I had my car garaged all winter while I built my turbo kit for it. First time I went to fire it up it ran but then died. It's an 86 with 91 engine and 89 mass air computer. 42lb injectors 255lph pump ATI blowthru MAF. I have an Anderson PMS which didn't cure the problem either. Basically the car...
