    Finally turned the key.. Help

    So, after a long long times I got my engine up to where I think I'd need it to be to start it.

    When I crank the engine without giving gas, nothing.
    When I crank the engine with 50-75% gas it chugs, and putts but doesnt stay idling.

    Got a puddle of unburnt fuel on the floor on the back of the exhaust.

    What would cause this? AFR? Where should I check sensors. I don't run a ICV and I have MSPNP.

    Just trying to brainstorm right now.

    Leaning towards of having no spark, maybe coil?

    Way to test this?

      Few good things to note, engine type!
      I assume by the fact that you are using MSPNP its an m20.
      Did you load an m20 base map or what are you using to try to start it?
      Did you adjust Req. Fuel for your injectors?

      I had a heck of a time getting mine fired the first time (MS3X, M50) but it is oh so worth it in the end.

        Yeah I started up another thread in m20 group. It's the weirdest thing. No spark, I went through every troubleshoot guide I found. Removing obc, jumping green wires, checking ecu pins, wire grounds to ecu. Maybe something to do with starter wires? Ecu says it's sending spark but nothing during any test. I smell fuel so I take it injectors are working.

          Hey wardie, where did you get your base map? Pm me some info and I might be able to help. I got s good 2.7i ms2 tune for 12psi and a local tuner that does house calls haha.

            sounds like the injectors are flooding the living fuck out of it.

            What size injectors is your base tune for?
            what size injectors are you running?
            have you adjusted your req fuel for any difference between them?
