#138086, "Idle Failure"


          

I hope someone can help me here. I finally got my car to turn over, but it does not want to keep idle. I have checked every sensor, every hose, fuel, everything. I have spark since i tested it with my volt meter. Any suggestions to why my car cannot keep idle? Also, the car has no turbo yet, I am running a stock tune on new parts. (i.e. 8.8:1 compression and 1000cc injectors. Stock cams and throttle body and intake manifold.)

What are you using for engine management? Fuel pressure? Have you done a compression test? Vacuum leak/boost leak test? Report back with your results.

compression test:
cylinder 1 - 150
cylinder 2 - 149
cylinder 3 - 151
cylinder 4 - 150

I also noticed when taking the spark plugs out, that the plugs in cylinders 1 and 2 were completely clean, and 3 and 4 were black like misfired fuel. Any suggestions on that? I will be performing a fuel pressure test tomorrow morning as well and will post results.

How are you tuning your injectors? You cant just stick 1000s in there and expect the car to run

Still need to answer the question about engine management. As mentioned above big ass injectors do not work on a factory tune. Also, it is why I asked your fuel pressure. Since you said you are going to perform a test, safe to assume you have never set it, and that means you are likely on a stock FPR. You can see where we are going with this....

I have also done a fuel pressure test and i have absolutely no fuel pressure. Also I will be switching to the stock injectors as well because as you all mentioned, the big injectors I have will not run correctly with the stock tune. In the near future I will be installing MS2 to compensate for the 1000cc injectors, as well as install my turbo and intercooler systems.
