i have a greddy turbo kit on my car and have had it on for about 2 months a now.

i was on the freeway today and the car turned off, so i pulled over to start it up again it wouldn't. it wants to start up, but it doesn't.

i had to call a tow truck to take it to my house.

i opened the hood and took all the spark plugs out check, my compression and its all good, no oil leaks or coolant leak. i checked the alternator, and fuse pump fuse and its good. after putting back on i tried to start it up again and it did, for like 10 seconds then it shut down. i tried to start it and started again, i was trying to press on the gas pedal and it was like choking while i was pressing it.


what could be wrong?

 

Too many possibilities to choose just one.

Check to make sure it's getting fuel, air, spark and that the exhaust isn't clogged.

Beyond that, it could be something with the engine management that comes with the Greddy.

 

Did you plug the factory ECM back in without the Emanage?

 

who installed the kit? did you install a fuel pump?

 

usually its somthing stupid like you think you have a quarter tank of gas but you dont because the float is messed up.

i installed the emanage, evertyhing was installed by a mechanic. yes everything that comes with the kit. its been more than a month since the installation and have not had any problems.

 

A vacuum hose may have fallen off/got boosted off somewhere. Check them ALL out, and while doing it, zip-tie them.

The symptoms are very similar to when there's a vacuum leak, or bad MAP reading.

 

Loose ground?

 

i don't think it can be a vacuum,since the car is not starting, wants to start, but it doesn't. it has only started once.

i have four difference map in my pc. the one i was running on the emanage was the map that has always had the car. i tried to switch maps to see if it would start, but no cigar.

 

No no, MAP not map, Manifold Air Pressure sensor is what I meant.
