Passenger side on, drivers side in work
Sorry, here's the latest update
Here is from Sunday:
Good news, got the headers in.
and I got it to start:3dSMILE:
Now for the bad news
I can get it started with starting fluid and sounds like a beast:D , but once the fluid is gone, it dies:CRY: . So I am assuming I have spark since it runs off of the starting fluid.
Also sometimes it will start without any fluid for like half a second after sitting for a little bit.:confused:
Troubleshot:
-Can hear fuel pump kick on
-Can also hear injectors spray when the key is on
-MAF is hooked up
-have about 4-5 gallons in the fuel tank
-No trouble codes showing up
-ECM programmed by Wait4Me so I assume VATS is deleted
Also when it is running it doesn't stumble or anything, sounds like it would run really good, then it runs out of starting fluid and dies
Been troubleshooting all day
Oh yeah, had a video of first start up, but for some reason the camera didn't save it, but I'll try and get one when she starts runnin right
And here is what I found out today:
Well for the starting problem, I think I got it now. Since I could hear the injectors, I just assumed they were firing, well this morning, I took them out to watch them and sure enough, nothing came out,:HMMM: but it sounded like it was. So first thing that came to mind was clogged injectors.:rolleyes:
So I went and borrowed an injector from the parts store, put it in, and sure enough that injector was firing, and I must have jarred another one free from all the movement, because now another one started going on the other side.
So I had two injectors shooting (new one, and one old one) and the motor wanted to start, just didn't have enough fuel I assume from just two injectors, but it definitely sounded like it wanted to fire, so I think that may be it.**)
Needless to say, now all 8 injectors are soaking in Seafoam as we speak, and I will probably reinstall them tomorrow morning and see what happens.
Hopefully this is it.....:toocool:
Alright injectors back and still no go
Ok I just checked pressure to the rail and when its priming its getting like 65 PSI and then after it clicks off its just under 60, probably about 55PSI, but then while cranking its getting about 65PSI to the rails.
I read somewhere that if the injectors get more 60PSI they won't fire. Can anyone verify this by chance?
Alright new injectors on the way
Alright I just bought some injectors and they shipped this morning, so hopefully they will work. :3dSMILE:
I think mine are just too gunked up from sitting. :HMMM: I got one to free up and start clicking but then it got stuck open :eek: and wouldn't stop leaking fuel, so probably flooded that cylinder out now, I had to relieve pressure in the rails to get it to stop. :mad:
So now I will just put these new or newer ones on and see what happens :3dSMILE:
One more problem also before driving
Can't turn left:mad:

Open to any and all opinions on how to make this work. I did run headers when I had the old SB 350 so there must be a way to make them work
Alright all, here it is....
Here's the first vid, also took her out for a test drive and she drives great:D
and she'll lay the rubber down too:3dSMILE: Still got to clean the wiring up some to make it look better and fix a broken header bolt, but there it is :toocool:
