Ae86 4agze starting issues
Posted: Sun Jan 25, 2015 8:18 am
I am new to the Toyota /86 scene, and recently purchased an 86 gts with a supercharged AE 101 4agze with:
HKS 254 cams
Apexi SAFC
Toda Adjustable cam gears
Greddy DD exhaust
Mitsubishi starion intercooler
Any way the car had been sitting for a long time, and the previous owner stated that the car only needed a new fuel pump ( which I knew wasn't all it needed but proceeded to purchase it anyway). I would really like to go through the entire engine and refresh most of the car, but I think it would be better to at least drive it first, so I know what areas need work
.
After dropping the fuel tank, cleaning it, flushing all the rotten gas out of the lines, and installing the knock off fuel pump the previous owner provided( which immediately burned up, and I now have a walboro installed), the car still would not start. I then read up on the forum and thought it might be the fpr, and after taking off the fpr which was seized, I installed a new fpr from Oreilly's ( supposedly for the standard gts 4age which takes some brass fittings to get it to work). All the vacuum lines seem to be fine, and fuel is arriving to the rail at a very high pressure ( yet the fuel pressure gauge seems to still read 0 .. Might be broken). I've also replaced all the spark plugs with denso platinum's. Yet the car still will not start. It will turn over and start running for about a second and then turn off. When I have someone spray gas into the intake it will run a little longer but will eventually die.
The previous owner has an Apexi SAFC installed which I don't have any idea how to use( there is a write up/ manual on Wiki How but it requires that the car be running). I think I Might try disconnecting the SAFC, and seeing if it will run then, but I don't know how wise of a decision that would be. Would the ecu just revert back to stock setup if I disconnected the piggyback? There isn't a tuner for probably like 200 miles so if I broke something its gonna be my noobish self that has to figure it out.
Any way help from the 86 grandmasters would be much appreciated as I have no other ideas
