    Trouble with the turbo setup... totally stumped

    I don't even know where to begin with this. I got the car to run, but it runs like ass. It will start up and idle alright with some fluctuations. Whenever I try to press on the gas the rpm's go down instead of up and whenever I let off of it they jump back up a bit. Todd (iamanonymous) came over and looked at it with me and we tried everything we could think of. We checked the plugs, fuel pump, injectors, ecu, and all the vacuum connections. My turbo should be good since it has only 5k miles on it and sounds pretty good. The car just idles really rough. It was throwing a CEL so we took out the chip and put it back in and the CEL went off. When the CEL went off my car wouldn't start up anymore. It would still start Todd's car just fine though. This makes absolutely no sense to me Somebody has to have an answer....

    what map are you using? And what are the fuel modifiers set too? Sounds like a fuel map problem.
    Bogging down to its death usually means entirely too much fuel. It probably started todds car fine because his cylinders weren't swimming pools.

    See if you can pull any codes also.
    p.s. i figured u were just gonna show up out of the blue and be turbo'd lol

      sounds like a bad burn, i had a problem with bad burns a while ago cause i didn't burn my new chips right. try to look at ur map like mrx said and read ur chip with ur burnner to see if it burned correctly.

      Suite! now theres 3 turbo cb7s round the dfw area!

          I'm using the old basemap you made for gdout90accord. He said that he added like 5% more fuel to it, but I'm not sure exactly what he did. My 16g fully spools at about 2200 rpm's because of the port so I think I need a much different map. The car was throwing a CEL at first so Todd tried to check the code, but he couldn't do it for some reason. Then after we pulled the chip and put it back in the CEL went away, but my car wouldn't start even though the ecu still started his car. I don't have a chip burner as of now or a way to look at it since John burned it for me so I don't know what to do about the chip.

          As for showing up outta the blue, this has been one crazy summer. I pretty much disappeared for the past month so my car had just been sitting. Besides that I didn't want to come on here everyday bugging people even if I did have the time.

            i'm almost certain its got something to do with the map, i'll send you current map with 16g settings. Whats your email? I'll send one to todd too. You said something about a port and polish also?

              The turbo is ported and clipped so it spools really quick. My email is wrasmussen@physics.tamu.edu ... For the way it was running I figured it had to be something big like the map being screwed up because everything else seemed fine.

                  Antoine's got this shit under control....I think I'll go make some pointless and useless posts somewhere else

                  Pull the fuel pump fuse and crank it over a few times to get all that damn gas out of the cyls. before trying it again.

                    is the chip in the ecu the right direction? Did you burn it in the right direction? I unno, just a hunch>

                      Well I could probably get John to burn it today or tomorrow. I'll make sure to do that with the fuel pump because I know it got flooded out a bit. The chip was in the ecu in the right direction, but I'm not sure if it was when it was burned because I didn't do it. The ecu ran Todd's car pretty well though so I don't really understand it.

                          also pull out the plugs and the sparkplugs in all cylinders and let the gas just evaporate out too just to help

                            in addition to that spray them with carb cleaner

                              honestly i think you should try to swap injectors. also try disconnecting a plug wire at the distributor cap to see if there's a spark. i dont think there is any way the turbo would make it not start. i should get my burner tomorrow. that is if you need my help...btw im still interested in those seats. carb cleaner may not help since the plugs are brand new.
