turbo help. car throwing CEL
Well I was having problems with my injectors leaking fuel. Well I had a few messed up o-rings. Replaced those with the stock ones. Put the injectors back in.
Car started fine. I drove the car across town to get my hair cut. After my hair cut I come back out and try and start it, it doesn't want to start very well, when it does it throws a CEL, then dies. Now it starts hard and won't idle unless I rev is, but its running like ****, and spitting smoke out the back when I rev it. Its 100 degress outside, and everything in very hot. I hope its just a fuel or ignition problems. And not a blown headgasket, but I don't see how the headgasket would go. I've had the kit for like less than 100 miles.
I haven't checked the CEL yet. I'm at home now and my car is still across town. I'm going to go check the CEL's out when my dad gets home.
I feel like complete **** right now. I don't even want the turbo anymore.
Anyone have any guesses to the problem?
I'm using greddy blue box 310cc injectors and blue box light is flashing green.

Re: (Spudddy)
Okay I was getting CEL 71 and 73.
Misfire in cylinder 1 and 3.
Problem was I crushed an injector wire while tighten down the wire harness thingy that goes on top of the fuel rail.
I check the wire where it was crushed and it seems to work fine now. Except it was smoky for about 2 miles, then stopped. I'm guess thats just excess gas.
The engine is not all bouncy now. And no CEL's.
