did you finally try to reset your ECU? Just disconnect the battery for a few minutes.

Still disconnected for now. I'm kind of frustrated right now so I don't want to work on the car. lol

all4degame

I don't get why this happened out of no where. The car has fired up perfectly for the past two months fine up until this past tuesday. I was at a restaurant with a few friends, and the car would barely stay on. Yesterday when I tried to get it to the exhaust shop it barely started again. I tried to take it out today to wash, and it fired up for a bit but wouldn't stay idling. And I haven't been able to start it since.

sounds like a vac leak..

check the couplers on the intercooler.. they have a habit of looking like they are on but have actually slipped off and need to be put back on.. check the same for the charge pipe to the throttle body.

hope thats it.

all4degame

thanks guys. i'm going to triple check all the connections in the morning when there is a bit more light.

charge pipe to the throttle body poping off...yeah iv had that happen to me a couple of times because i couldnt leave well enough alone...lol

You checked your intercooler pipes?

all4degame

From a quick inspection in the dark, everything seems to be connected. I gave everything a quick tug and nothing seems loose. I'm going to give it a harder look tomorrow when i have more light.

haha we've all been there! haha most of us has to go through that before you have real fun! oh well those who are quiters just go ahead and buy some evos, sti and get things easy!

all4degame

Its good to know that some of you guys have struggled through this, I was hoping I wasn't the only one. lol. I've had so many problems, having the car not start now is the last that I needed.

and oh, does it crank and start but would die or it would just crank and never start? kev becareful of that pop a strong one could crack your IM, i think it did on brett's.. and it could be a result of an injector leak

all4degame

It just cranks, but never starts. I'll check for cracks later on today. I felt around my injectors but I found no leaks. So I don't think that is it.

it might be the map.. you have the greddy pressure sensor? or maybe its just flooded due to too much cranking

Ace83

sent you a map.. and oh your emanage jumper settings are correct and other settings too like injectors and stuff? if not try unplugging the emanage and start with just the ecu, if it doesnt start its gonna be more on a hardware than a tune problem

all4degame

Thanks Ace, I'm pretty sure my emanage jumper settings are set up properly, I confirmed them with a local tc that had been boosted for 2-3 years on the blue. I'm going to try to troubleshoot today. This popping noise business makes me want to switch over to the fic, I don't need to be breaking crap. lol

^^ switch to hydra!!!!!!!

all4degame

lol. don't have that kind of money right now man! I'm trying to get this car finished and have something reliable I can get back and forth from school. I would like to have the confidence of getting into my car everytime knowing it will start when i crank it. lol

hurry up and load the map i sent you! it worked great for me, just some hiccups while driving that im sure you can just smoothened out

all4degame

I'll try it after I get back from my interview! I'm going to try to get the car started again this afternoon after I check all the connections.
