i just recently installed a GT2871R onto my redtop and and new greddy intake manifold and some new injectors and new MAF and ECU tune ...

I started up the car for the first time and it ran fine and i let it idle for awhile and then i shut it down. i went and started it 30 mins later and it wont start. i took out the spark plugs and they were soaked with raw fuel and so i cleaned them off and pulled the fuel pump fuse and it started up fine and then died after the fuel ran out. i then put the fune back it and i go to start it up and it starts fine agian. but when i shut it down i can hear the injectors do like one more spray after the engine is off. and then i try to start it and its flooded and i have to repeat the whole process agian unless i pull the fuse when its running and then the thing doesnt flood.

i was reading in another post with a guy with the same problem and he just fixed himself and said it was the Temp sensor.... i am not sure where the temp sensor is and if thats the problem.

please let me know any insight that could help me fix this

thanks alot

i post to check that all the time, cuz ive seen a couple swaps where temp sensor wirirng goes crunck or something. if wiring is bad or sensor goes bad, car sorta goes to a limp home where it dumps fuel. whether its ur sensor or wiring, id check it both. this ones stuck in my memory cuz a friend actually paid money to have a shop install gauges, speedo and misc. electrics on a conversion, and they ended up wiring gauges to temp sensor instead of temp probe. he paid like 200 bucks for a crappy job><;

i would also like to know this answer, as i was configuring my adj. thermostat for my fan, i took out the plug that goes into the temp sensor. I noticed that after i put it back and started cranking, it would flood the motor. I just put the plug back in and cranked while pressing the gas down. After a couple chugs it started up. My question is, why does messing with the temp sensor do people have alot of flooding issues with the motor?
