Problem solved.The injectors were actually working but their pulse signal was extremely short. The reason for that was because the coolant sensor was open...telling the ECU that the engine was hot and needed very little fuel to start.-Dave
Yes, the pump maintains pressure during cranking (I open a fuel port required for racing) and it also maintains pressure during run.
The difference being during crank the injectors won't fire.
During run, the injectors will fire if I turn the motor over (turning the cam sensor by hand) like...
Gentlemen,I have an extremely difficult no-start condition on my rally car ('90 Talon tsi) I wanted to throw by you.
I haven't rallied this car since 2006...it's been stored and not running since then.This spring I patched everything up and tried to start it...here is the problem:

BIR has completed a new 2.5 mile track and is christening it with a 40th Anniversary weekend. There will be motorcycle and road racing along with nostalgia, demonstrations and live music, etc.
The cool thing is that you can parade, lap or race (requiring comp license) for $20/day!!
Fri is test...
Again, I am jealous. Road Atlanta is on my short list of tracks I must race on. Glad to see you like the 16G...IMHO it is the best combination for road racing. What did you set the boost at?
Glad to see the equipment holds up too. It sounds like you get the same feedback I do concerning the...
Unfortunately I don't think I can afford any more races this season and I should have the Championship wrapped up by now so I think I will replace the door, paint the car and try to sell it. I want to go to something else in a different class (something with numerous competitors). Maybe an Evo...
NASA Pro Race Elkhart Lake, WI
August 2,3 2008Pre-Race: By this time I had 2 decent Hooisers, 2 decent Toyos, 1 worn out Toyo and 1 Toyo with a blister. The race car needed some new shoes. I ordered 4 new Toyos to be picked up at the track. This is also the first event I wear a HANS device. I...
I'll probably be tapped out financially by the time SATCARS's season starts but I would like to run Blackhawk at least once as NASA doesn't seem to run there anymore.
I'll put myself in the 'maybe' column.
(Assuming they don't make me go to comp school again!) :p
I'm jealous...I would love to run that track but it's a bit too far away for me. I have the opposite problem you have; my water temps never rise above 190 while my oil temps always flirt with 270.
Maybe I'll see you at Hastings next year.-Dave

Thanks Eddie. I believe they feel that since I was alone in my class that day that it didn't matter where they put me. Since I finally complained I don't think it will happen again.
NASA Pro Race Grattan, MI
June 07,08 2008Pre-Race: To follow the technical regulations I had to re-wire the kill switch to include the alternator output. A 11 hour tow in tremendous cross winds brought me to Grattan, MI...a few miles east of Grand Rapids.Saturday:Practice: I have heard...
Haha...I don't think they make a Threadlocker strong enough for me!
Thanks much...it was more fun than I thought it would be. I enjoyed the infield here more than Iowa...but I enjoyed the banking at Iowa more.
You folks had some serious weather over the weekend!Unfortunately one thing NASA does not spend much time doing is
advertising themselves and making locals aware of the races. :(All you would have had to do is spend $10 at the gate for the
whole weekend...you could crew, work or just...
Quick update from grattan raceway:Practice: went off at turn 9 due to pad knockback and too much air in the calipers. AWD got me out :)Qual: Qualed 5th overall...no one else in my class.Race: finally find a good line but only gain .5 seconds. Finish 2nd overall, first in class. The...
