ok guys ive done alot of reading and research on this site here and just now finally had to post and reach out for some help. heres what i got. 99 eclipse 420a. I installed a turbo on it on it awhile back on the car for my friend but never got to finish the whole kit. and he had the car parked for about 7 months and then decided to trade me cars. turbo was mounted with the front mount intercooler, oil lines etc. i never ran the vaccuum lines for the turbo because something came up where he needed to drive the car because his other broke down. the car was still driveable (just couldnt go past 3,000rpm) because of the fuel cut of course. i drove the car here after we traded. i bought a vaccum manifold, missing link, and a vortech 12:1 fmu. (mind you the car would start up fine before) i installed the mentioned parts as they are suppose to be ran according to everyone's diagrams here on the site. ran all the vaccuum lines to the bov, external wastegate, fmu, manual boost controller, and boost guage. i tapped into the brake booster vaccuum line for the vaccum manifold, put hose clamps on every single connection, teflon taped the fitting into the manifold. everything is done the way its suppose to be. no leaks anywhere with anything. after i installed all of those parts, now the car wont fire. it will crank over and sound like its about to run but it wont. i tested for fuel and spark its getting both. i ended up pullin the spark plugs out and the cylinders just keep flooding out with fuel all over the spark plugs when i pull them out. i cleaned up the spark plugs and put them back in. the car actually fired and idled for about 5 seconds then stalled and wont start again. i can keep cleaning the plugs and it will keep doing the same thing. can someone please give me any ideas of what could be causing this? it would be greatly appreciated and i know alot of you guys on here are experts on these motors. thank you all in advance.
