well it seems that no matter what i do i can't get my car to run. its really driving me nuts. i can get it to start if i do the oil in the lower plug holes. but everything in the car checks out as good, even the water thermo thing so dont even suggest telling me to test it. anyways since it is a bitch to get started and warm up i was wondering if there is another way to test the tps. and also will a faulty tps keep the car from starting? im not sure im out of ideas and since this is my dd i need it fixed asap.the engine is flooding out. not sure why but it floods insanely fast. first turn of the key. its a TURBO SWAPPED base s4. no emissions. the motor is fairly new, just got done breaking it in on a "fresh" rebuild. and it was running fine until one day i was gettin on the freeway and got on it. i hit a 6k roadblock and couldnt go passed it. ever since then its been like this. tried 3 different ecu's and not a single difference.

it seems to want to start with the tps unhooked. but still didnt take off



any ideas?

I'm not expert, but it sounds like your injectors might be stuck open. Have you had those tested?

I don't think this got much attention because of the title.



TPS could flood it, leaky injectors or one stuck open could also do what you are describing. I'm assuming you've done a compression check just to make sure you didn't blow something, having to pour oil in the lower plug hole makes me wonder....

yea. idk what happened to the title. i think i copied it over from the club.. but i know the injectors arent bad, or stuck open. they were just serviced at witchunter about 911 miles ago. but its all good, i've given up trying to get help for the car and just doing the simple thing IMO. so if you know anyone needing turbo parts send them my way. its gettin parted out...
