Okay, I'm ready to ask for advice....
2.4l g4cs
SMIM/S90 with no isc/fiav
Car won't start now, and backfires thru exhaust like gun shot. It seemed a lot better today and almost started. Seems to be very rich cranking???
Learning about global deadtime and the direct access chart.....suspect???
Quick Story......
Car was working fine, I had it tuned for closed loop and running good. I was trying to get everything dialed in so its ready for WOT and dyno tuning etc.
Main jobs, swap oil pan to fix kink in turbo drain, add ISC to S90 throttle body so I don't have to rev it for 5 minutes on cold start to get it to idle.
(I'm not going to post the big list of things to go thru, because I had just did them all recently on my new build. (compression, leak down, timing etc)
The car was fine when I moved it to begin work 3 weeks ago
I did verify boost leaks, fuel pressure, spark.
NOTES:
I arced a wrench on the alternator, it blew the 60a abs fuse on the battery. Replaced that. Continuity from battery to alternator is good now. (ECU does the CEL and still connects to ECM)
I also wired in the cooling fan on a mishimoto shroud (just the main fan so far, not AC)
I added a chassis ground from firewall to battery because after low battery kit it wasn't long enough.
I put the isc on the bottom of the s90 (blocked off FIAV ports, no bypass plate) I have since removed it to try and diagnose no start. (Now just a block off plate, all idle deleted)
I replaced the oil pan, which meant removing downpipe, axle and transfer case (this is when i arced the alternator)
I started messing with MAF settings trying to get ISC to work, have since removed ISC and zerod all MAF settings. All other settings remain untouched in ECMLink. (My MAF slider settings were pretty gnarly before. like 50-60% on the 50hz i think)
Okay check out the log, it actually almost started this morning. I cleaned the spark plugs last night when checking spark and zerod all the MAF settings before trying.
Thanks guys, really tried to figure this one out myself -.-
