Ok so maybe y'all can help. Got the head back on compression test was 155/145/155/170. I am going to readjust the valves again and see if I can get those numbers a little closer together.

I attempted to start it the other day and it would not start unless I was WOT and had it crank for a good couple cranks. Now I don't know if this is due to the basemap or what. I have my wideband hooked up and the gauge was reading around 16.8 when I was WOT or holding it at 2k.

I decided to pull the plugs and see if I can see anything and this is what I found:


Its kind of hard to tell but 1 &4 are covered in soot and 2&3 are blackish with a gloss to them. I decided to check the injectors first thinking maybe they were spraying and I found the resistance to all of them were .007 and that they were all seeing 12 volts. Only thing I didn't check was the signal wire, but that is due to not having someone available to crank while I check.

I think the injectors and harness are fine as I used this same harness on the h22, along with the fuel lines and fuel pump. So my questions are:

what could be causing the need to be WOT to get it start and stay alive?

Why are 1&4 spark plugs full of carbon and 2&3 aren't?

So the only variables I have changed between the h22 and this motor are, the motor, the turbo, the dizzy(though I swapped the h22 dizzy guts into the f22 body), intake manifold but not throttle body, map sensor, injectors.

Pretty much everything else is the same from the h22. I know the map sensor is reading correctly because we saw it when Blake hooked up his laptop, and he calibrated the tps while getting ready for the first start up.

Could these issues be from the basemap not being complete? Or is there something else going on? I am lost here guys....

Basemap is a large part, if not all, of your problem.
