My galant won't start. It's been sitting for about 1.5 months.

New BPR6ES plugs, gapped down to .026
New xact wires
New optima red top

Every time I check the plugs they are wet and covered in a dark dirty fluid. All I can figure is that my 880s are dumping way too much fuel, and it's killing it. Would turning down my FPR help?
 

Whats the CURRENT base pressure set at, and what other electronic do-dads to you have on the car?

ie, S-AFC, Link, MAF-T ?
 

What are you tuning with?

If you are using dsmlink make sure the global and dead time are set per the dsmlink wiki.

Check to see if there are any DTC's. Remember not all codes throw a light. CAS is one of them. Check to make sure your MAS plug, CAS, plug wires etc. all are tight.

Did you try jumping the car? or pop starting the car?

Do you have gas in it?
 

have you did a compression test and a leakdown test?

is everything plugged up correctly?

does the car turn over fine?

I disconnected all the injector clips, checked for spark on all the plugs. All were firing. Put all the plugs back in and cranked it with the injectors still unplugged and it started to run for a couple seconds lol. Thats how much fuel was dumped in there...

My base fuel pressure was way to high. 40-something with the vac line hooked up. I lowered it to about 25 with the vac line hooked up; 35 unhooked. Which is what my keydiver chip is set to if I recall correctly.
