This is why you're running rich- where are you located in FL?

Hmmm....Whistling sound, Sounds like turbos. Who knows what the guy did. He could have mixed up some vacume lines when he put the injectors in. Loss of power happens with vacume line problems. What are Boosting right now?

Not knowing your mods this is a guess, but running rich is probably because of the huge primary injectors or questionable tuning, or both. Then again, if you have a PFC, you wouldn't see a "check-engine light" and it could be something as simple as an air intake thermosensor. Do you have a stock ECU that you could plug in to see if you get a CEL and a you can pull?

Either way, running rich would explain a power loss and it will foul plugs quickly, which could explain it not starting. Try pulling the plugs and see what they look like, clean or replace if they're bad. It may not be as serious as you think.



Regarding the whistling sound, it probably is boost leak. Do you have hard pipes to and from the IC? Maybe just check the couplers, especially at the 'Y' pipe to cross-over pipe.



Just my .02.
