I would check all of your grounds. if everything is still hooked up and all you did was take of the intake then maby you accidently bumped somthing. hope ot helps lol
 
I had the same problem in my integra when I rebuilt the motor ended up being a ground that wasn't connected. I started it up took it for a drive I was leaking coolant, fixed the leak and then my car wouldn't start. I found a ground wire by the starter that wasn't hooked up (not the transmission ground) hooked it up ran fine since
 
Aight. I'll check that one today(I actually relocated that ground underthe dash, and it musta just worked it's way loose. I'll go over all of them today.

Thanks bro(s)
 
It's suggested to add extra grounds.
Electrical systems aren't my specialty by nomeans, but I do know that having sufficient grounds is VERY important.

And post more video's! Stop bein lazy.
 
Andrew, this has been the most entertaining thread I have ever set my eyes on. Great job on going through all the steps and what not and thanks for sharing. I just spent a lot of time reading this that should have gone towards work, but it was worth it. Very entertaining =D
 
another #4...good job mang!

There is always afterwards though...I shoudl have had you make me a cd and I woudl have had them all uploaded by now..since I have nothing else better to do at work :p
 
Well thanks bro.
What part of Fl are you in?
I'm down in Martin County, a 6-ish hour drive from Tally. I used to drive up there all the time, but my friend's sister just graduated from FSU. I still have some friends up there though, so I'll still be up there every once and a while. I wouldn't mind seeing the end result of that in person. I won't be going up there for probably another month or two. Plenty of time to make it more of a beast =P

Edit: I just read that and I know what you're thinking. Yes, I am a stalker =P
 
Damn, my pickup lines suck... That's the second time this week! Yeah... that did come out a bit creepy, though. I guess I'm too outgoing for my own good. I'm a fucking social whore =P
 
Heh, well, when you do come up into T-town, just shoot me a PM and I'm sure we could get a few fellow Ricers together for a little 'meet'.
 
Oh, and I had a funny little problem today.


I checked the battery and it has a full charge, I didn't do anything under the hood but take off my intake to get a picture of the fuel line. The only thing I did, electronics wise, was unplug the Hazard fuse for a few seconds, and popped it back in to check my codes to make sure I wasnt throwing anything different than code 10.(IAT. I'm changing the plug out in the near future. Will it mess me up running with it not functioning right?)

What do you guys think?

This a pretty important issue fellas... Any ideas?
I'm gonna see if I can't try Abel's ECU and see if thats whats bad.

-But I've checked all my grounds, all my connections, and everything is OK.
-I started it up, let it idle for about 2 minutes, while I figured out which hose was leaking coolant
-shut it off
-pulled the Hazard fuse for a couple seconds
-jumped blue plug to check codes
-turn key and this happens.

To describe it the best I can:

The lights on the dash are 1/2 as bright as normal.
When I jump the blue plug to check codes, nothing changes. CEL does not go away [to blink]
And there is a real quiet buzzing noise under the dash. It sounds about like a quiet fuel pump would.
And my Walboro 255 isnt turning on(and trust me, you can hear it when it comes on. it's about twice as loud as my stock one).

Ideas???
 
<chuckle> The golf cart turned out pretty good :D

I have to say, props to the camera man... he was incredible:ph34r::ph34r:
 
damn, i've missed alot in 3 days...

:thumbsup: Andrew.. very nice build up thread, but i'm sure its nowhere even close to ending.. whos ever satisfied, i know i'm not
 
run a few tests on your fuel pump. first check the main relay and make sure it has continuity. If it does then check and see if you have power going to the fuel pump by turning the car to the on position (you don't have to turn it over) and check the harness under the rear seat. your going to need a wire diagram so you Know what wires to test I just used my helms manual. If your fuel pump is getting power but not pumping it is either a bad fuel pump or a bad connection somewhere. If the fuel pump is not getting power replace your main relay. that is everything I did when my fuel pump wasn't pumping I found that I had power going to the fuel pump but it wasn't pumping so I changed the fuel pump and still nothing I later found the ground that wasn't hooked up and she fired right up. hope this helps
