Well I'm really starting to get tired of my dsm, it seems to spend more time broken then driven. Well I finally fixed a little overheating problem I was having, well I think I did, and as soon as I took it out for a couple of test runs my turbo decideds to not boost. The green starts to spool but it feels like I hit fuel cut when it's finally going to get going.
Anyways I decided to get on it on second and after it felt like it hit a brick wall the car shut down. I thought it was bent valves since it's happened to me before, but after ripping the cover off the timing belt it seemed fine. The belt was still intact, and the timing marks were right on.
Next I am suppose to check for fuel and spark, but I'm in the middle of a highway with semis coming at me and it's kind of hard to do. I also have a C.O.P. setup so spark shouldnt be an issues, but who knows. And a new walbro was installed 2 months ago so that shouldnt be it. The car cranks and will almost try to turn over but it wont. My friend thinks it's a fuel issue, maybe the relay. Or that it flooded since I'm running a big setup with no fpr. It might also be the coil pack, but I ditched that for the cop, and for some odd reason the car runs like crap if the ignition moduel isnt touching the intake manifold. I'm really hoping it's something small.
Someone please englighten me before I blow the car up. Also I dont think it should take my fp green with a 8cm housing till almost 5000 rpm to hit full spool.
My mods if you need to know are: sbr c.o.p, fmic, walbro 255, fp green, dsmlink, evo manny, built internals, bushur cai, gm mas setup, 3" exhaust, 680's, magnus intake, bla,bla, bla, oh and I do have a fpr but I have yet to install it. That might have something to do with my problem.
Any help will be greatly appreciated...any. Oh and if this is in the wrong forum, can it please be moved so I can get better responses.
 
When my old transfer case seized up, it felt like what you said, hitting a brick wall. Thats the first thing I thought of when you said that, but it sounds like it could be a fuel problem also. Try a new relay if you did the re-wire, my first relay broke and it took me a while to figure out that was the problem.
