ok so i installed my built y8. I have fuel and i have spark, i have clocked the dizzy, making sure i didn't have it in backwards and still nothing, it just cranks but wont catch. i dont think this could be a stale gas issue, could it? its 91octane and it has been a year with no stabilizer?


or
on my standalone its showing the engine load being at 97-98kpa? which is pretty much -1 vacuum.

Any idea's would be greatly appreciated

 

Start with the basics, re-trace your wiring, check all your grounds, and it might be a good idea to drain the fuel and put in some fresh fuel.

 

Just a thought try starting it by spraying a bit of break cleaner in the throttle body to rule out bad gas. make sure the firing order on the distributor cap is right.

 

ok so i checked, all wires are hooked up, i even added some extra ground, timing was corrected, drained the tank and put in fresh 94octane.

 

ok i think i have narrowed it down to the injectors not "injecting" when they should be, i just had my fuel rail with the injectors sitting out of my manifold and i cranked the car, nothing came out

 

Fuel pump or main relay. you should hear the system pressurize. Injector wiring, a fuse or ecu. Start at one item and gradually rule out each as you go.

 

ok i think it was my resistor box was installed wrong, fixed the problem but still the AEM EMS wouldn't work for me, put the stock ecu in and it started up

 

its a sign showing you that you don't need a standalone

Did you load up a program into the AEM EMS?

 

haha i was waiting for that, i actually got it up and running lastnight with the AEM EMS, so now i just need to change half of my stuff and hopefully i'll be good haha
