    General Flying Banana has Start/Run issues

    on the road to Lime Rock CT so I'll try to make this short and neat. Found some info on the motor. It started and ran a little bit more. Still doesn't want to idle right. So I'm going back to the basics when I get back from the Race. I'll check entire fuel system, check spark, ensure the...

    General Flying Banana has Start/Run issues

    EDIT: Also wanted to note that during the first run I got a glance at the AFR and it was around 11:1 this was on AEMProclassic I couldnt see what it said on the gauge in the car

    General Flying Banana has Start/Run issues

    Ok guys, so I got the car to run for a little bit, it never idled on its own fully. What I had to do was use AEMProClassic. Revert the ECU Firmware to v.94 I then made sure AutoEE was On. I uploaded a calibration file that was in the old .gdf format. I replaced a section of fuel hose from the...

    General Flying Banana has Start/Run issues

    I'm actually working on her right now. I appears I may have to take it apart pull the motor, trace all the wiring make sure everything is good and go from there. I never had a issue until the ECU went belly up and I sent it out to be repaired..frustrating

    Just wanted to give you guys a little update. I'm still at work doing set up on our number 73 race car. But I have an OEM ECU coming for the Flying Banana. It'll be tomarrow

    GST with PSI its funny you linked that car because that car currently has the same sponsors as us. Guys, I have to step away from discussion for a few days as I'm swamped at work and will have very little time. But Im not leaving for abandoning this post as Im still scratching my head, one thing...

    General Flying Banana has Start/Run issues

    Everything you stated is the main reason as to why I would prefer not to go backwards. My main thing with a stock ECU is I wanted to see if it would start and idle with a OEM system. That being said I think I found out my problem. It seems in my case updating the AEMPro software ended up causing...

    General Flying Banana has Start/Run issues

    While I'm not opposed to switching it up back to a Stock EMS with ESMlink, all of the tuning has been done with a AEM system which is why I would prefer to stick to that if I can but as you mentioned ESMlink might be the way to go when it comes to performance on the dollar. The build book is...

    General Flying Banana has Start/Run issues

    Car runs in NASA SU Series along with some other stuff. I'm planning on running the Sandhillls Open Road Challenge next year. The car is a full on Race Car and was Greg Collier's old car with a fully built 6 Bolt. I am considering all my options at this point. As the car is getting a new...

    General Flying Banana has Start/Run issues

    Ill give it a shot, I just replaced that before the ECU was fixed but it never hurts to check everything out. Ill let you know what I find, although I don't think this is the issue. While depressing the throttle the car just shuts off. It doesn't stumble and die, just cuts right out. But still...

    General Flying Banana has Start/Run issues

    It's possible the ECU is still bad, that's why Im on the hunt for a stock ECU. The company that repaired the ECU said they tested it and it tested fine. That doesn't mean something else took a crap though. I'm curious as to how they tested it. I'm going to swing by fry's and see if I can pick...

    Spark plugs fire after cranking

    Have not got around to checking the TP Sensor yet, but the ECT gave me a good reading. I just replaced it a couple of months ago. I need to make a list, and just start going through things one at a time. Its almost as if shes flooding out, Im all the fuel injectors check out ok as far but I...

    Spark plugs fire after cranking

    Battery is good and connections secure. A little up date. So I haven't had much time to look at her as of late. But I did get out under the hood today. All connections are good and secure. All grounds were clean and I conducted some voltage drops and everything looked good. What I think is...

    Spark plugs fire after cranking

    Just the motor, it's weird. It's not like it stalls out. It just shuts completely off. I'm working and can't diagnose her fully eight now. But man I was really hoping to throw the ECU in her and be ready to rock.Ty McBride Team leader/Owner McBride Motorsports

    Spark plugs fire after cranking

    I did check for spark during cranking, that's how I discovered the issue. I thought I had no spark at all which I didnt at first. Replaced the CAS after it tested bad. Still no start up, pulled the COP bracket grounded out the plugs and bam, they're firing as soon as I let off the starter...

    Spark plugs fire after cranking

    Yes, or at least to be more specific I tried and was sure I got a reading. The reason I said tried is I am by myself on this project and my leads for my fluke are not that long. I ohm checked primary and secondary coils and they're good. Since the system is NPN I was thinking ground maybe? Thank...

    Spark plugs fire after cranking

    Well guys, I'm fighting a no start issue with the flying banana right now. And Drivability and Diagnostics is not my strong suit. Right now I am not getting spark while the motor is cranking. Once I let off the push button I get spark on cylinder 1-4 (waste spark) anyone have any ideas? I...

    Don't get me wrong, I love the color red, but I just cant envision it in my head as a main color of the car..
