OKay peeps. need some help

When I hooked my engine up today, I tried turning it over to start. All it did was sputter white smoke then die.

Is this a

Fuel delivery problem?

TPS problem?





What do I need to do now?



Thanks

Mike

It may not be getting fuel. If the AFM is disconnected, etc. fuel will be cut off. Are your fuel lines connected correctly?

I am about 60 percent positive the fuel lines are hooked up right. I know the secondary rail has fuel in it. AFM is connected properly. All the functional sytems are hooked up right, not tuned, though. My knock sensor, water thermosensor, alteranator are not hooked up. Dale Clark mentioned the CAS and vaccum leaks. I have one broken secondary...hmmm. I DUNNO? I have a vacuum lead in the center of the LIM, that;s blocked off. Is this necessary? I also have a knightsports FCD hooked up too.



Help,

Mike

The water thermosensor needs to be plugged in.

It's definitely needed for the car to run.

Bleah! That wasn't it.....Let's see:

BAC plugged in

water thermosensor plugged in

intake air thermosensor plugged in

TPS plugged in

OMP plugged in

Pressure sensor plugged in

AFM plugged in

no vaccum leaks

ACV removed

throttle body mod done

pressure relief solenoids plugged in

ECU plugged in

FCD plugged in

Air pump removed

throttle cable connected

coils connected

fuel lines connected

CAS connected



alternator NOT connected

belts NOT connected

exhaust NOT connected



engine starts easily.. turns over a few times then dies, like fuel is cut off or spark just stops going to plugs... it almost starts like the AWS is kicking in(with a really high idle), then it (1) gets fuel cut (2) plugs stop firing



DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN
