the motor is a ca18det. im about to blow my car up. the car ran awesome after my swap, months ago. i decided to upgrade some parts when my stock turbo took a shit on me and my maf shorted out due to some last minute shoddy wiring. i went t28 turbo, z32 maf, dsm injectors, rom tune, yadda yadda. best1 did my tune and i socketed my ecu. the car will not start. fuel pump primes when its supposed to. im getting spark and fuel. i took off the cas and turned it, the injectors clicked and the fp came on. i dont know what else it could be. i ungrounded my maf one time to see if that would make a difference, some one on another forum suggested it. i dont know what else to check. my cylinders flooded maybe? seems like it would still fire though. i just dont understand, timing was NEVER changed in the process. seems to me if i had fuel and spark i would get something. no. my car hates me. im getting the right fuel pressure and everything. i wouldnt mind checking my ecu to see if my socket job is the problem. pins 15 and 16 connected at one point while soldering, and i get continuity through those to pins even though its fixed and the solder is gone. so i figured it was supposed to be like that? if anyone has a spare socketed ecu i could borrow let me know. im leaving for vacation on sat. for a week so when i get back. i dont knwo what to do at this point.
note: also wouldnt start on stock eprom
wouldnt start with maf unplugged
would it matter that my ecu was an auto ecu? i figure just the eproms were different
