been tuned....tried giving it gas...the starter will turn it over, but something else is wrong at this point, either the spark plugs, wiring, injectors....something

i just seen in your build thread bout the injector harness thing and im wonderin if you already have the lsj injectors installed without a tune? if so the ecm could be seein that somethin isnt right with the fuel and isnt lettin it start. just a thought.

ok if tuned then its deff not the ecm and injector thing.. lol back to zero again..

Could cause a problem. Its always best to solder that type of thing. I would try to take the butt connectors off and solder it all together and see what happens. Even if it doesn't fix the problem you'll have them securely connected without worried of that anymore

In fact leds are prime examples of that. If leds doesn't have a good connection they won't work properly. They will either not come on at all or will be dim or even flicker. And it does sound to me like you're not gettin fuel or not enough fuel. If it was a fire issue then you would be able to smell raw fuel after tryin to start it a few times.

beh????


ya...tomorrow after work im going to fix the injector harness and hope that is the problem...if anyone has the exact colors that need to be spliced to si can quadruple check my work that would be great

i bought an obd2 scanner at walmart, and i need to have vince take out the sai stuff he added in the tune since i dont have it, but i dont think that is the problem...
unfort i spent the money from the dyno tune on the scanner and on a few drinks to dull the day
so a dyno tune will have to wait till i get back from texas in about 2 weeks...but he did flash it so it should work once i get all things fixed...*should*


anyone know if having sai stuff in your tune will cause a problem of not starting??? or just throw a code till fixed????
