Ok so today I spent all day with a few buddies of mine installing my new clutch and flywheel. We get everything back together everything is fine good pressure on the pedal etc. I then go into the car to start it up so I can set my global and dead time for my 720s Via dsmlink. The damn SOB is flooding itself out and will not fire. The car is obviously getting fuel it has spark but will not fire. Obviously its getting to much fuel but is there something that I may have missed? Please help at this point I dont know what to do?I Also we broke the speed sensor during the tranny removal. Could this be the source of my problem?
Thanks, Tyler
 
It sounds like you may have fouled the plugs by running the car before adjusting the injector size. Clean the plugs or replace them, make sure the injector size/dead time settings are correct before starting the car, and let me know what happens.

ayo sleeper what did you mean on the whole dead time thingy ummm i am havin same problems cept my injectors have been replaced along time ago check out my whole situation under a forum entitled MAS or TPS? this all happened after i changed the flywheel and clutch same as this dude
 
Don't flood it too much or your gonna end up having to change your oil too. :thumbdown Recently had a similar problem in an older car that had TBI(single injector). We missed the o-ring seal on the new injector - it kept flooding. We had to clean the plugs and dump the oil to get it running again.
 
Well we got it runnin last night and were not exactly sure what fixed it We un hooked and hooked every conection back up, replace the plugs and noticed the dp and 02 housing had a small gap sinched it up enter my settings in dsmlink and she fired but wouldnt stay running and then adjusted the bis screw and it is now running.
Thanks for the help, Tyler
