Installed turbo now problems
Here's my issue, I'll try to be specific as possible. I installed my turbo kit over the past week, I had to remove the passenger mount and the engine tilted to the right after the jack lost compression overtime,l removed the mount to cut it so that it would clear the waste gate. I added my 4 bar and installed everything back as well as the aem Ems. My tuner came and checked the volts to my map and tps. Tps read while off 30% throttle while the ignition is on, the car won't start and its dumping a ton of fuel due to that. I've checked the cabin wires and everything looks good. I'm puzzled , any other ideas would be greatly appreciated. I also checked the engine ground and it's good as well. We took the aem and put it in another car, it works. Tps should be good, when the throttle is open, it's reads 100%, closed its reading 30%.

That's the problem I think were having, it's a brand new aem, and another guy had me do that and changed something's and the car started. Ran for a few min, then shut it off then wouldn't start back. So now I think I need a good map. Will know more today.

Had a very similar issue with mine yesterday. Car ran perfectly fine. Next day a buddy of mine installed AEM wideband for me. Car was hard to start, ran like crap and when I got down to my tuner Matt Shue, he hooked the laptop up and everything was showing 5 volts. TPS, Map were all off and he was surprised I even made it to him with the car. Problem was the wiring done by the wideband installed. If I remember correctly the ground was grounded into the sensor wire. I don't exactly recall specifics but they fixed the wire for me and she ran like normal again. Could be wiring to the AEM? Not that this could be your issue but it sounded similar to mine so I wanted to post.

Thats kinda my problem, however i didn't install a gauge or any ground wires. Im about to install the stock injectors back in and ecu and see if the car will start back. My tps and map readings are off tho in Aem, so thats why the car isn't starting. We just tried rebuilding a map on the aem and nothing changed. Funny i did have the car running today tho for 3 min, then shut it off and came back in 5 secs, and then wouldn't start. Do you know what wires were changed? What ground, grounded to the sensor wire? Any other ideas?

Ok, well i put the stock ecu and injectors back in and map sensor and the car fired right up. I have a cell light on, it may be due to the air pump not installed. Ill check the cell tomorrow. And ideas?
