Ok here is the reall news, got the ecu chipped, map sensor wired up, o2 sensor out of the old mani and into the dp. cranked it over dry. and then reconnected the dizzy and fuel pump. Cranked it and....


























IT STARTED ON THE FIRST CRANK OMG !!!!!11!!!!!11!1


Lol now that i got that out... so it cought and started up great, loud as all hell with the open dp, but w/e lol. so we shut it off, and closed up a few last things. and restarted it, and it started like a charm. here is where the ****storm started. we wanted to take it out for a spin but we wanted to check the timing first. so we hook up the light to the number one plug, and turned it on. the timing was almost all the way to the tdc lines. so we started to turn the dizzy but it didnt do anything, we forgot to jumper the ecu. so we do that and try to set the timing, but even witht the dizzy all the way counter clockwise we could only get it close to the 3 marks. so we shut it off and pull the jumper, and starte it, and now we have a surging idle, cel and the timing is still off. we contrinue to try it, and even try to clear the ecu after we couldnt pull the code. it started again and still has the surge. we shut it off again, and when we tryed to start it, it wouldnt start. at that time it wsa 10 oclock and too late to start it again, so that will have to wait till tomorrow. i can gaurentee i wont sleep tonight, now will i get any work done at work lol. any sugesstions are welcome.

 

im not even worryed about the timing now, here is what happens.

I astart the car, catches first time.

Let it warm up, it doesnt seem to get anyworse, but then it starts to get a surging idle. i let it do that for a sec, and then i shut it off.

i try to restart it, and it just cranks and cranks, but never catches.

the surging idle might be the iacv or the fast idle valve too, but i have no clue why it wont restart

it has a solid cel, and i cant pull a code. but im not sure if it is on when i start it or if it comes on later

I NEED HELP, PLZ LOL!

 

What happens when you try to pull the code? CEL just go away?

What IM/TB are you running? I dont think z6's have fast idle valves. I guess just clean out your IACV, search for vac leaks, and pin down that surge and kinda work from there.

 

when i set the jumper, and turn the key to the on position, the cel light stays on solid, no flashing, ahothough after a lil pause the srs light will flash, but that is a constant flash, i dont know why it would do that.

I am running a stock z6 manifold and TB, although th TB is from an automatic, but it should still be the same right? it just has an extra spot for a cable. I dont have the book infront of me, but what is the thing under the intake manifold that has coolant flowing through it, isnt that the fast idle valve? if i had a n air bubble in the system it could cause that to surge right?

yesterday after i shut it off, and it wouldnt restart, i pulled the plugs out, and they were covered in fuel, i think that might be because i was cranking it over with out it starting. so not starting could either be too much fuel, or no/bad spark. im gonna check that out today, i didnt get much time after i posted yesterday, cause i promised to hang out with some friends. so i guess i will just start after work today.

 

U sneaky person, did u hide ur intercooler on purpose [8D]? trying to make the car a sleeper

yeah i didn't know it was gonna work out that way, but i like it that way, deffinatly sleeper, now i just need to get a small lip so that the bottom of the intercooler is covered up.then i will be set, ahtough the bov isnt really sleeper lol

 

I'm an idiot...for whatever reason I constantly forget that I'm running a y8 IM/TB setup on my z6, hence the no FITV. Yeah, yours probably has it and it should be mounted on the bottom of the TB. I would start there, theres a How To on fixing it at honda-tech.

Definitely bleed the coolant system when you get a chance. Start with figuring out the starting issue, then once you've got it running well enough (surging or not) bleed the system and see if that helps.

If the CEL stays solid while you're jumpered, it's supposed to mean you're okay. However, if you're getting a CEL without it jumpered then there is definitely something wrong. Sounds identical to the problem I was having, which resulted in my switching ecus.. Hopefully thats not the case for you

 

yeah i think i am gonna start it up and burp it before i shut it off again, that way atleast i will get rid of the simple stuff
i would hope its not a bad ecu, i just chipped it, and it worked fine before.
