where is the manifold air pressure sensor? could it possibly be the loosen ground cable, where is it exactly located on a s2000?

Answer these questions....

1)What fuel pump AND the fuel "sock" do you have installed.
2)What is your gas gauge reading?
3)Are your injectors leaking?


If your answers are...

1)"I installed what came with the Greddy kit."
2)"I have about a 1/4 tank of gas."
3)"No, they are not leaking."

Your problem is simple. You are out of gas.

I agree with the out of gas thing. I have heard of several guys that this has happened too. Especially if there is no CEL.

No way vacuum lines caused this. I have blown off three seperate vacuum lines and all that happens is a CEL, then I check them and reattach and now have them all wire tied.

I installed the Walbro pump and stock sock hoping to avoid the "float problem", but it still isn't reading correctly. 4 bars to go is empty for me. Put some gas in it and if that isn't it you will have to check into the more complicated problems.

Good luck

does noone reset the trip odometer and know how many miles they have traveled as a rule of thumb for when to fill up regardless of the gas gauge?

Just FYI for everyone, before i left greddy, they were placing new, FLAT, fuel filters in the kits. They got rid of that angled POS fuel filter that originally came with the kit. So all newer kits should have the good fuel filter. There still might be some older kits on shelves though w/ the old fuel filter.

So point is, this guy could even have the new fuel filter, but hard to say since he didn't install his own kit.

I would say:

Fill up the gas and try to start it. (just incase he does have the fuel filter problem)

If that doesn't solve it, then check vacuum lines and MAP sensor as suggested.

Also unplug the emanage and plug the stock ecu in and try to start the car. Car should start (will not be driveable, but will start).

Amen, for a flat filter, although the stock filter is pretty flat and still hangs up in the float.

I recieved my kit in August shipped straight for Greddy with the old sock and threw it away.
