BB6-213

I am trying to get mt Built H22 up and running, but am having problems. When I try to start it it starts for about a second and dies. It is getting fuel and is getting spark. The cam timing is dead on. I have adjusted my built head valve lash to factory specs, there is a brand new battery with a full charge, I have oil pressure, and the starter is good, so I am pretty much clueless now as to what is causing it to die, so if anyone could please help I would really appreciate it. Also, I am running n/a just to start it, stock ecu, injectors, header etc just so you know, but has a nice fi setup waiting just to keep it in this forum.

what is your fuel setup? are you running larger injectors with a stock ECU?

post the complete specs of the setup

BB6-213

This is everything that might contribute to the problem:

Stock ECU chip
Stock injectors
Walbro 255hp Pump
MSD SCI Ignition
Blaster SS Coil Portflow Head
Supertech Valvetrain
Skunk2 Cam Gears
Stock Camshafts
Benson's Block
CP 9:1 Pistons
Pauter Rods
OEM Plugs/wires
OEM Dizzy

this was happenin to my buddys car and it ended up being the valves... needed to be adjusted, it was choking the car and it wouldnt idle..

cuin9sec

get it tuned.

Maybe you just need to hold the throttle open for a few minutes. When I started one of my LS setups it needed to run for a bit before it held idle.

I will go asjust the valves again, and try the throttle thing, is there anything else that I can check, I have the whole day dedicated to the car and I really want to get it running.

no problem after that</TD></TR></TABLE>

Thanks! I just got the valves adjusted so I am going to go try this, thanks.

do you have a restor box on it?

I am actually running the inline resistors instead of the resistor box.

So you are using stock injectors, stock ecu and resistors inline with your injectors.... that might be the problem.

You can't run saturated injectors with the resistor box or inline resistors.

I am running an OBD1 P72 with an H22 N/A basemap, Stock OBD1 H22 240cc (?) Peak and Hold Injectors, Inline resistors. Will that work?

BB6-213

Its seems as when I leave the car sit for a few mins then try and start it, it will almost run for a second, but when I try to start it again right away it dies faster, so could I possibly be flooding the engine?

BB6-213

anyone?

flooding .... check ur fuel system

qfast817

try it with out the restors it should run with out it, it sounds like your flooding so take out sparkplugs and try later

BB6-213

I would take them out, but they are sodered inline in the harness

qfast817

well i guess get a new base map in your ecu so you can start it

BB6-213

I burnt a new basemap for it and it fired right up, tomarrow I will let it run for a bit and liet you guys know whats going on, thanks.

you deffinitly don't wan't to be flooding your new engine, But someone with more insite could correct me, Wouldn't it be possible to wash out the cylinders on a new engine if you flood it?
