As mentioned in previous posts i have just gotten my car back after i swapped in an h23 into my gsr - in anycase the engine seems to be running fine. pulling hard and reving normally
the issue i have is when the car is cold - it will start right up, no issues
but if i were to start it, drive it around the block, turn it off and try to restart it, it will not start. after i wait about an hour it will start again as if it had no problems. I can sometimes get it to catch a little bit while im turning the key and it will sound as if its bogged down and barely turning and eventually (30 secs) will start fully up.
I cant figure out why it would only not start after the car has been running for a while does anyone have any ideas - some of the opinions ive heard from my friends are that either its not igniting enough to burn all of the gas out and thus when i stop it and try to restart it it gets flooded and only when it evaporates will it start again. Again i have no clue - does anyone have any ideas??
thanks

I can make an audio clip to show you guys what it sounds like - its dark so you wont be able to see much - would that help?

 

sounds like your main relay.

search main relay, and u will find many others that experience the same.

basically, the heat causes the connectors on the main relay to come loose. thats why when its cold, it starts fine.

the main relay tells the fuel pump to work.

hth

 

Check your fuel pump, my buddy swapped in a h22 in his DC2 the same problem. All he did was change the fuel pump, get a fpr and fpg and then get adjusted and tuned for sufficient fuel delivery to start your car in any weather and in any situation. Try it out and let me know wats up.

 

hey i replaced my main relay and my fuel pump, i still cannot figure out what the issue is, does anyone have any ideas? possibly the car is flooding? i smell a lot of gas after i attempt to start it again and it wont start. any help is welcomed

 

cmon does anyone have an idea as to whats wrong??? i am also getting terrible gas mileage like 180 miles every 10 gallons could it be flooding? if it is how do i fix it?
thanks

 

a 160 hp engine replaces a 170 hp one. thats the problem jk. if you smell gas, check all the fuel lines under the hood, from the fire wall to the filter and back to the fuel rail. this happened to me after replacing my filter, because i dropped the washer from the banjo bolt and never found it. i bought another one that was as close to the size as i could get. it still leaked gas from it, so i took one of the washers from the fuel filter mount and it worked fine.

 

Anyone have an idea as to why its not starting? this is driving me nuts having to leave the car on while i pump gas, grab some fast food, rent a movie - anything that takes less than 30-40 min
any help is appreciated

 

Bump for more advice

 

Want to know why i put the H23A1 into the car - cause of this!! Stock 95 GSR's come with -
Horsepower: 170 hp @ 7600 rpm
Torque: 128 ft-lbs @ 6200 rpm

Stock H23A1 - Horsepower: 160@6800 rpm
Torque: 156@6200 rpm

so when you drop a h22 head on there- you have an engine thats quicker than the h22 stock and way faster than the stock GSR engine -
Still looking for advice on the car btw.

 

found a sticky on the codes and i tried doing it and i got the ABS code to pop on cause my ABS light is ALWAYS on, anyhow, the check engine or the maint req light never blinked after the original start up. Something new though - the engine when i start it up and its cold revs up to about 2k then back down to 800 2 k 800 2k 800 continuously only after driving for about 2 min will it shut off. Any idea what the heck that is?

On the abs code i got two short flashes and then a longer flash and then a long pause and the same thing. cant find anything that tells me what that is. Any ideas?
