Yes its getting fire, that was the first thing I checked, Ill have to check the plugs in the morning, but the were new?


ive seen brand new plugs foul out ridiculously quick in rotaries.



Check the voltage going to the fuel pump, perhaps take time out to do the fuel pump rewire..if its not your problem it's still nice thing to do.



Obviously check you're getting gas, i can only assume you are because you said you "figured out the fuel pump". But do you have a fuel pressure gauge? this relates to what i wrote before, if youre not getting good voltage to the pump the pressure will be very low.



Did you reuse your injectors/rails etc from your old motor? I know you grenaded it by running it for a long time at high rpms maybe thats caused them to stick open or something? thats just a random guess tho

they seem to need to be "broken in" its good to run the car for an hour or so. or i should say we've noticed this too. its really bad with new cars, cause they get started, put on a truck, get started again, get put on a boat etc etc

Check your plugs for obvious fouling. If you suspect them, plan on putting in a new set.

Okay, the plugs are fine they are notfouled, bc I am still not getting anyfuel?



My question is, since I removed the emmisons rack is their something in their that needs to be grounded out? Or am I justmissing the obvious here. The car will start if you put some starting fluid or gas down the TB, I used a noid light on the top injectors, but from what I understand they will not work at all below 4k? Let me know If I am missing something, thanks.

lol i was gonna say if your fpr was hooked up the only other fuel related lines are the return and feed lines.
