So yesterday I finally finished up with my car. After about 3 months of waiting for parts and working on the car day in and day out I finally got it together. After my engine blew I installed one new rotor housing and two new rotors with a street port and 3mm apex seals. I also replaced the turbos and upgraded them to the BNR stage 2 unit. I have ALL the emission equipment removed, including the solenoids, air pump..., and got the block off plate kit. I also upgraded to 1300cc injectors and put in a high flow walbro fuel pump. Other mods on my car include, greddy FMIC, greddy elbow, type-s BOV, DP, MD, dual tip N1, Power FC, ACT SS clutch, Indigo under drive pulleys, and a Bunch of the other necessary things. So I went to go start the car tomorrow and it wont start? When I turn the key the engine makes that "pre-starting" sounds but wont go any further than that. While we were trying to start it I realized a fuel leak coming from right under the engine on the passenger side. Now could this leak be the cause of my car not starting? The car is still getting gas, don't you think it should still start? When looking at the commander the Injection duty shows around 8% and when I turn the key it goes down to about 2%. I'm pretty sure the drop in fuel pressure is the problem. Then when we tried push starting the car it worked, but the idle was very low and just died out after a few seconds.



Anyway I was looking into the whole problem and pulled apart a lot of the engine only to discover that I have no idea where this gas is comming from. So I started playing around with the PFC and switch the secondary injector level from 850 to 1300, I assume thats what u do when u get the upgraded 1300 cc injectors. Havent tried starting the car yet with this change, but do you think that me putting in the new fuel pump and leaving the old PFC fuel setting the same maybe messed something up? I dunno, ill be looking into this further later.



I'm pretty sure the leak is the cause of my problem, but I'm not an expert on this so that why I'm posting. What do you guys think? What other problems might I run across trying to start the car? I appreciate all replies, Thanks.

You need fuel and a spark and as long as your getting both ot should start.

You have to fix that fuel leak, most likely on of the fitting on the primary or secordary fuel rails.



Keep push/pull starting it! The eng seals haven't sealed completely making difficult to start. I had to pull start mine 6-7 times before the seals seated enough to start without pulling it.

dude fix the fuel leak first. when it doesnt leak worry about starting the car

I think I found out what the problem is... i pulled the primary injecotr assembly last night and found out that one of the injectors was missing an o-ring... Hopefully that should solve my problem.
