Alright i finally got my car back together after having the injectors cleaned. I also ripped out the rats nest under the intake and capped off all the vacuum nozzles. I ran the fuel lines directly to the fuel rails. I also put the vacuum line from the fuel pressure regulator to the dynamic chamber. I checked all connection and it will crank and spark, but no combustion. I also primed the fuel system too. It worked perfectly before i took it apart. I'm going to wait till my dad gets home and check the fuel pump and computer codes. Any ideas y it won't start?

Are you sure you hooked up the fuel lines correctly?

yes. but will check again to make sure. From memory: the one from the fuel filter goes to the secondaries, and the one from the primaries goes to the other metal line? right?

No, the one from the fuel filter goes to the primaries, and the primaries go to the secondaries. From the secondaries you go back to the return line.

thxs, got that problem solved. I connected them wrong because the metal fuel lines crisscrossed, and i didn't see that until now. Ok it will start and run. It runs rough and erractily. If i revv it high it will kill. Its idling at 600rpm and the power delivery is very rough. I think i have a vacuum leak. Any more words of wisdom?

Yeah, it sounds like a vacuum leak. I had that problem once.

Which vacuum lines or nozzles did you plug? Also, is there any reason as to why you did all this, or just trying new ideas? I love new ideas

just bored and my car was in storage anyway. Wanted to clean it up and get rid of some crap. I capped of the 2 on the lower intake, just below where the ac&cv was. the 2 on TB( or maybe they're on the dynamic chamber?), on the side closest to the cabin. 1 on right below the BAC and 1 on the oil filler neck. everything that was connected to all those metal lines and the 4 solenoids.





p.s. How do i get into the moderators group? i think its bout time.

Use a can of starting fluid or choke cleaner or ever using a spray bottle of water and spray while the engine is running around areas you worked. LIke at joints, duct connections, and vacumm hoses. IF you hear the engine actually clear up and rev better up by itself you found the leak.



Becareful, choke or starter spray is flammable, watch were you spray if it is hot.



Where all the elect connectors pluggin and in good shape??

the idle and power deliver is starting to get better. I torqued down the bolts on the BAC and the upper to lower intake manifolds. But it still isn't running perfect. There is still a vacuum leak, and i can't ******* :madgo: figure it out. I have capped off all the vacuum lines checked and rechecked them 10000x times. I can't hear where its coming from because; one my clutch fan is too damn loud, my cone filter makes the same sucking sound, and my exhaust is very loud, even at idle. I tried spraying **** and even using propane, i can't find it. There are not that many placed either,since i have no emission pieces. I'm going to check my vacuum pressure tommorrow w/ a gauge. Does anyone know what it should be at, and if it changes w/ taking off vacuum using **** i.e. ac&cv?
