car wont start after paxton install

[1930ford]

Did you change spark plugs ? Did you check the two fuses right at the battery ? people often pop theses fuses if they dont have the battery disconected while replacing spark plugs.

I checked those and they were good.

Whats the voltage on your battery? You might have 11-12 volts but the cranking amps may be low.

 

[busarich]

Ill check that when i get home but i keep it on a trickle charger and its turning over fine. No injector pulse though.

You could try and reload the tune into the programmer, and try reflashing the ECU.

 

[busarich]

I tried that too. t wasnt starting so i checked for updates, there was one so i updated it and reloaded the tune and its doing the same thing.

Wow that really sucks. I can offer no advice just props to you for being so patient. You seem to be handling this very well. I prob would of drank a case of beer, kicked the dog, cursed the neighbor, and threw the paxton head unit in the lake. But thats me, I hope you find and fix the problem soon. GL

Something seems wierd. The paxton install seems pretty easy. If there are no disconnected sensors or blown fuses, then i have no idea.

Try taking out one of the injectors while cranking to see if you are even getting fuel to the rails.

Okay, i had a friend over and retested the injector harness and it tested fine, the noid light was not bright enough for me to see from the drivers seat so he looked and it lit up. So i put the stock injectors and my previous na tune in and it fired right up. So i will find out tomorrow about the tune and injectors. Thanks for all the help guys.

What bap are u running? There was another guy on here with the programmable Vortech that had problems starting as well.

I still believe there was an install issue there.

As far as your car, I am still believe it is in the tune.

I'm right there with you! I have heard of this to much and have experienced it myself with 2 different tuners.

 

[busarich]

The id1000s are direct plug and play, right???? The injectors came with clips and pins but the stock harness plugged right in

 

[busarich]

It shouldn't but I had similar issues as yours when I had mine on backwards. The MAF plugged in from there so I didnt think anything of it. I could ususally get mine to fire though. It just wouldn't run.

Try disconnecting the MAF it will idle fine but run like crap if you do anything else but start if thats your issue or related issue. I don't think it is but its a quick thing to check.

I will call Shaun tomorrow and see what he says

Yes they are plug and play.

 

[busarich]

That's what I thought just noticed there was clips and pins that came with them

 

[Blazer707@TBR]
