please help. car wont run right at all. no power!

[blak92awd]

well, my car is having quite some problems. recently we rewired the fuel pump straight to the battery with a switch a relay for it. we then started the car and it idles fine and everything, but when you hit the gas it goes nowhere. no power at all. it barely hits above 0lbs of boost. its an automatic and i tried to put it in first and it doesnt go it just stas in the gear it was in originally. i know some of this sounds like a boost leak, but im almost positive its not. let me know what you think. my guess is its something to do with the fuel pump bein rewired.

look under fuel and double check your wiring

everything seems alright with the wiring. super95awd actually did the wiring and he did exactly what he did to his own car.

what kind of fuel pressure readings are you getting. Maybe after the rewire, your fuel pressure may have jumped up. Also do a log, and see if you notice anything out of the ordinary.

fuel pressure is around 41 and 42. looks good. also we did a log and nothing out of the ordinary other than when at idle my o2 sensor isnt reading until i give it gas. other than that it looks good.

might check your turbo shaft play. Maybe your turbo quit on you?

whats the best way to do that?

Take the intake charger pipe off the turbo, and reach in and try to move it in and out.

Are you saying you can't get your auto to switch to drive/low/second anything? just stays in park/neutral depending where you start it?

 

[blak92awd]

ok ill give that a try

 

[blak92awd]

no it will go into drive, reverse, neutral, and park. but when your driving, and go into 1st, it doesnt, it will just stay in drive.
