Okay ive been playing with things for a while now with my swap and have fixxed all sorts of things hoping that my car will finally be drivable.
Unfortunately ive had no such luck.
In the past week or two ive fixxed, my alternator ground, replaced a bad coilpack, tested the resistance on the coils and injectors, replaced the plugs and gapped em to 0.8mm, set the tps, found out i had the IACV on backwards, oops, and changed the gas filled oiled with some prime motul oil!
And a number of other minor issues that would cause my car to run the way it does.
My idle problem seems to have been fixxed and my idle is now smooth, but the damn thing runs really rich (bout 11.5+ at idle), and it sputters and dies whenever its revved and then refuses to start. It turns over great lots of crank, lots of fuel, getting spark and no air leaks. I let it sit a while and it fires right back up so ive come to the conclusion that it is flooding.
I have two suspicions...
1. Do i have a stuck injector??? I listened to em and they all make the same clicking noise and they all have the same resistance, none are leaking. How do i test to see if ones stuck open?
2. One thing i noticed when i had my car runnin with the maf unplugged was that the AFR was way more optimal and in the 15.0 range at idle which i brought down to about 14.3 by bringing my fuel pressure up a tad. However of course with the maf unplugged i cannot rev the engine at all really, so this leads me to the suspicion that my maf itself is working correctly but perhaps the wiring isnt right cause it doesnt seem to be getting the right signal if it runs mid 11 AFRs at idle with it plugged in.
If anyone has any suggestions or can lead me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated! I feel like im always just around the corner from being able to drive my car
