FMIC install w/ stock turbo problems

[Boarderboy1316]

Ok, So my mods are a 3" exhaust and now a FMIC, HKS BOV, MAF-T, Intake pipe, boost gauge, egt gauge and a/f ratio... Just to get things straight..

I still have a stock turbo and I just installed the FMIC and all the piping. Now before I got the car off jackstands and put the bumper back on, I started the car to listen to the BOV. I shut the car off to finish putting the bumper and everything back together to take her fora drive. The car ran normally just to add. I put everything back on and took it off the stands and now the car doesnt start. Any ideas on why this is? I even put the stock intake pipe and MAS to make sure I was getting accurate air readings.. I just dont know wats up.

wont turn over?

edit: why do you haf a fmic on yer t25?

 

[1fast97gsx]

yea what exactly do you mean by "won't start"?

 

[1fast97gsx]

Maybe the T25 was pushin too much power and he wanted to do something that will slow the car down a little but look bling at the same time?

Maybe he's trying to do things right by getting supporting mods before slapping a bigger turbo on. I see people recommending supporting mods first all the time, then flipping out when someone still has a T25 with, well, what else, supporting mods. Give the guy a break.

Yes, I am getting supporting mods... Im aiming towards a 50trim..

But by wont start, I mean it turns over but just doesnt spark it seems.. The fuel pump works, there is air (i strongly assume because it was started) But could something really go wrong without being used like spark related wires or something?

OK, im pretty sure that spark is my problem.. I took out the plugs and they were wet with gas so I know its not fuel... I took the spark and had my brother try to start the car while I had the plug threads on the valve cover for a negative.. I think its spark.. Is that an accurate way to tell?? Im not sure how else to test my spark.

What do you mean there is air? Just buy new spark plugs.

 

[Boarderboy1316]

by air, I mean that i know my piping isnt leaking and there is air getting into the cylinders... I need air, gas and spark.. I think spark is my problem.. Can/why would plugs go bad after only like 2,000miles? Also, could all 4 really just go out like that?

start from the begining. trace your ignition from your spark plug back you might of knocked something loose when installing the piping.
happens all the time

Good luck


and if that don't work take tha plug out and put the wire to your tungue and turn the engine over to see if you got pwr.(I dont realy mean for you to do this get a volt meter and test it, NOT YOUR TUNGUE

 

[Vandy4g63]

Did you disconnect your battery again in between starts? Check your fuses, too. I highly doubt your ignition system went out in a matter of minutes, but I guess its possible..

Thank you for actually THINKING while on these boards, Spidey.

Check your ignition fuse. If it's fine, start looking around for unplugged items.

 

[Boarderboy1316]

I was just messing with it.. All the wires are intact, i checked the fuses and they are fine... I highly doubt something is unplugged as i went through the wires... I got closer to starting, it smells just like unburnt fuel from my exhaust too... The car is making alot of noises, one in particular is a ticking. Is there a way to check my timing because there was that BOOM of backpressure.
P.s. I hate my car right now

 

[Boarderboy1316]

OK, why i got the FMIC... I got a new bov and short route piping with it.. I need a new bov anyway and new upper intercooler piping for the bov and i knew i was going to get a fmic so i went with that and all the piping so i didnt have to waste any money with a upperintercooler pipe... but thats just off subject

Did you pull your plug wires, then pull the plugs, and plug them into the plug wires? If not, do this, and lay them so the electrodes aren't touching anything. Now have your brother crank the car a few times again and see if the plugs are even sparking. If you already did this and that is what you meant in your post, sorry, but I didn't really understand what you were saying. Also make sure your plug wires are in the correct order, that is commonly overlooked.

You have to ground the outside of the plug, but I think this is what he already did.

Im still betting on a blown fuse somewhere. Did a pipe shift and ground out the alternator?

Deleted the crap and moved to the proper forum.
