SteveO -
I am not sure what is going on. I have the turbo setup done, and car was running / driving yesterday. Before that, the 2 bar MAP tune, with the patch installed, was doing seemingly just fine - no issues running it NA with the 2 bar tune. Drove it a fair amount, always started and drove perfect.
Then yesterday, I drove the car and it ran fine. Didn't get into boost, just did some driving around to start with. All seemed well. I did a couple small things (crankcase breather, boost gauge, etc), and then was ready to do a little tuning, but after that the car will not start (talking a few hours later). Smelled of raw fuel it seemed to me.
Had some trouble getting my laptop to communicate with the ECM last night, which was alarming, but now this morning I am able to connect (reprogrammed the chip, reinstalled). I find that the barometric is now set at 10.36kPa!! I have no idea how this happened.
So, then I loaded the tune without the patch, and I think it then updated to current MAP reading (55.0) - which makes sense. So, then I loaded the patched tune back in, hoping that I would see the 54.6 setting in the tune patch, but it's still showing 55.0 via laptop. Does the engine need to be running for the patch to work? The patch doesn't seem to be taking effect, at least with the engine not running.
Then I thought I'd try the 1 bar tune, with the 1 bar sensor, so swapped all that in, but forgot I now have 60lb injectors, not 32. So perhaps that's flooded her again. That tune was for 32's
And it still won't start. I have tried cranking a lot without the INjector fuses in, thinking it may be flooded. Did get some smoke out of the tail pipe, and a bit of chugging, but it didn't really try to run. Then thinking I had it cleared out (no more smoke from tail pipe), I put fuses back in, and still nothing. No firing it seems.
So I guess I need to try to get it running again on the 1 bar tune, 1 bar MAP sensor, and put in the proper injector flow rate to just get it running again and start from there.
What's so perplexing is why it just all of a sudden decided to go stupid on me. Any thoughts?
