Has it run long enough yet to get the oil that's IN the chambers now to burn off?





I ran a car for 10 or more minutes before the blue puffing went away after storage.. Storage as in burning off the storing oil that was in the chambers.

yeah, plus all the goop and junk thats in there from an untuned haltech can take like 20-30minutes to burn off.

Absolutely



No offense intended or anything but this paper test doesn't mean much, get the car running and run it good for a long time before worrying about the oil coming out of the exhaust.





Focus on your idling and driving issues, and if you are worried about oil, check oil level constantly and watch oil pressure.

 

Okay, so it has to run for awhile?



That allows me to play around with the other problem then, in that it only idles for about 15 seconds or so, and only with the injectors "off" on the ECU. I say "off" because I really don't think they're off...the fuel pump is still running.



I can turn it over with the injectors on and it will *kinda* sputter a few times. Switch them off, crank it, and voila starts and runs for about 15-20 seconds before dying, just like the vid I posted in my thread in the first gen section.



Another thing I noticed today was that the leading coil for rotor1 was NOT firing at all. The leading coil for rotor2 though was perfectly happy. Is it possible for this to happen? I was thinking that the whole coil would be bad, not just half of it...that sounds stupid but I'm not sure what terminology to use .



Thanks for the input guys, hopefully I can get to the bottom of this soon...

 

are you positive your injectors are seated properly? Here is a quick test. unbolt the fuel rails with the lines attached. Pull them out of their holes. Have your dad hold the rails up and turn the fuel pump on. If fuel squirts out then the injectors are not seating properly.

If you have some small wire twiney type stuff, twist it up and leave a decent amount of "tail" at each end, and wrap some old vacuum lines around the centre area, then wrap it around the bottom of the fuel injectors (rubber wrapped part) and use the "tails" to tie them up tight against the fuel rail..





Just an easier way to do it with one set of hands, no worry about a hand slipping and pissing fuel everywhere.

Hmmm no I'm not, haha.



I'm out in the garage workin on this now. In the even that they aren't seated properly, what's the *correct* way to reseat them?

 

Okay I took the rails off and let my bro turn the key to acc to see if fuel came out of the injectors. The primary rail had no problems. The secondary rail however, because the injectors are basically just limp there without the rail being mounted, I had to hold the injectors against the rail. No fuel came through though.



Does this seem right, about the secondary rail? I'll attach a pic to show what I'm talking about...but the injectors are hardly held by the rail. In other words, if I shake the rail a bit they will fall out.



I paid really close attention to the sound though as the fuel pump turned on, and something definitely isn't right. I think that maybe I have the lines reversed? This would make sense if the feed from the tank is attached to the return from the secondary rail. Then whatever fuel was sitting in the rails would be the only thing the injectors could use to keep the car running, no?

So I took some video tonight with the turbo off.



Let me know what you think.



White Smoke [MOV]

 

Yeah that's what the exhaust will look like when blowing off excess thats in the combusion areas





Don't worry about it..



Worry about tuning an idle and driving before worrying about the smoke and stuff, it needs to burn off.





Oh also worry about the fact your secondary injectors "will fall out if you shake the rail".... ?



what's the deal there?
