I just finished up doing a cable to hydro tranny swap and some suspension upgrades. I drove the car about 2 months ago last, and have changed nothing on the engine. The battery is dead, but I am using a 2nd car to keep the battery up. When I hit the starter, the starter sounds like it's going good. I pulled 2 plugs, and I have spark about once a second. The plugs have a few drops of gas, and the top of the pistons look moist. I checked the grounds, fuel leaks, all the fuses, primed it 25 times, and the fuel pump is making noise (it's working). Since the battery was pretty much dead, is there any chance it lost the Crome tune? Compression is 112, 115, 115, 119 with the TB closed. I can go do another check at WOT, but they are consistent at least.

ANY IDEAS????????

 

just replaced all the plugs, no difference

The crome tune is in EEPROM, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Sounds like it is just flooded.

Pull the plugs and the fuse to the ECU, crank it over a little bit. Pop the plugs back in, try to fire it up.

 

Pulled the plugs and ECU fuse, turned it over for like 5 seconds, and blew compressed air in every cylinder. Every one smelled of gas, but no puddles or anything. After I got it all back together, still no start
