My car starts but when it warns up it dies on me and won't start also starter won't work after cars dies. I hit the stater and I get start but car don't crank starter keeps going out and seems like car is getting no gas or sparks plus starter what's going on!


ok I replaced the starter and the car started fine I had it running for about 20 minutes and then I turn it off.
But when I went back to try to start it it happened again there was start but no turn on.

I have a hondata tuned
Walbro In-line fuel pump
600cc injectors and aem regulator

Turns out the car won't start because there is too much gas going in
I turned the pressure down to 39 PSI on the aem still no start

Should I disconect the fuel pump???


My car is boosted I don't know what to do I will try to start the car with out fuel pump but is that going to mess up the hondata program the way it was tuned. Because if I do this car will run on stock fuel set up with 600cc injectors.

I was thinking maybe the distributor but if the car started fine when starter was installed then I'm thinking is only fuel but again it could be both I have no idea I need help!!

 

its should start even if the mixture is rich, but unless your really rich like around 5:1 ratio the car should still start may be alittle stumbling and alot of smoke when things get up to speed but should run. I'd see if you have spark or weak spark try using something like pryol starting fuild from kragens or autozone if you hear poping like it wants to start then possible you have a weak spark. I'd check the plugs to see if there fouling with carbon like straight black or light or are they white and if there gappable plugs i'd check the gap to see if they were on spec with your engine. if its white or light then the mixture is enough to burn but if it were black i'd back off the pressure a bit more to see what happens Also swap out with a stock ecu to see if you can aleast get it to fire and idle. Also how much boost are you running sometime when the ecu see's boost it will do weird things like no starts. I'm on this with you man i'll help as much as i can, I'm trying to diagnos a car in class with similar symptoms my instructor says that it sounds like a clogged fuel filter which is causing it to stumble and die so tomorrow i'm changing the fuel filter and air filter to see if it goes away. The car will idle but if you load the engine and back off it start to stumble and die. Then if you throttle the engine instantly it bogs really bad catches up and dies. I'll let you know whats up tomorrow.

 

Ok man here's the verdict I fixed the guys car that i was working on. First off there was more than one problem his fuel filter was a sand box. Clogged which cause part of the problem with the stumbling and stalling of his engine after i replaced his fuel filter it would idle smooth, run and while throttling stay at idle when i let off but it still had like a miss fire or severe bogging around 1500 rpms to 2500 rpms so i checked the spark coming from the coil to his cap, it had spark that could jump a 1.5 inch air gap so that was fine. Then i checked spark coming from the wires to the plugs, guess what it had a weak spark couldn't even fire a .5 inch gap and its suppose to be able to jump 1 inch air gap. So i took the spark tester and set it at like a 1/8 inch gap, now it would jump but intermitten spark not consistant with engine rpm. I then poped the cap off tried to clean the rotor and terminals still had the problems, went back checked again and noticed that the rotor had carbon tracking from grounding out on the shaft. It looks like the top of the rotor got slightly and i mean slightly heated up around the contact area of the cap and rotor. So I replaced the rotor and bam the car idle, ran and throttled like a champ. Then your cars at the shop so let me know whats up with it, if they fix it.
