hey i have a 92 mazda fd3s. ive had it for just about a year but for most of the year its been in the body shop getting a wide body on it. i just got it painted and put together a couple weeks ago but now im having troubles starting it. its got about 70000km on it, apexi power fc, apexi boost controller, apexi intake, stock turbos, greddy smog pump illiminator, hks bov, blitz downpipe midpipe and catback exhaust, i think thats it. the first time the problem occured i was doing a doughnut in a parking lot and it stalled out and then i wasnt able to get it started. it turns over and tries to start but dies after about 2 seconds. i left it and went back in the morning and it started but idled a bit rough. the exhast smells strong like its running a but rich so i check my spark plugs which are only half year old and they seemed to be good so i cleaned them up and put them back in. just did oil change about a week ago and put some injector cleaner in but it still wont start when its warm and when its starts cold it idles rough. i thought that maybe the timing was off or its running too rich or something but im not sure how to check timing as there is no belt. any ideas?

alright i will do that tomrrow

 

i forgot to mention that my knock sensor is starting to move and it didnt before. i was told that this mite be because of timing?

 

oh and on my apexi boost controller... it reads 0 for sol until i get moving and then it reads above 50 but no where less then that... its either 0 or 50+, does that give anyone ideas?

 

did a compression test and it passed... any other ideas?

 

heres some pics of the beast that wont start...

 

Check your map sensor..

 

where abouts do i find that and how do i know if its good? just check the connections or what. treid to find on the internet but couldnt find anything on the fd
