Help!! Can't start my turbocharged tC.
Recently, I turbocharged my tC with the Greddy kit. Everything was running fine until I hit a huge puddle on these crappy NY roads. Now when I try to start my car, it turns over and starts, but as soon as a let off of the cluth or let the ignition key from start to on, the car cuts off right away. Wierd thing is, when I hold my key in the start position, with the car running, the usual grinding noise that you would hear from the flywheel and starter gear does not exist. Holy crap WTF is up with my car!?!?
Also, car ran horribly until i let the cylinder dryout for a day or two through the spark plug port, and when I replaced the spark plugs, the tips were covered in black resin. Don't know if that has anything to do with the electrical problem though.

First thing to check is to see if there is any water in your cylinders, second check your IC piping for standing water, and third just make sure your didnt knock your IC piping loose when you hit the hole. I didnt secure my IC pipe when I first boosted my car and it did the same thing, if fouled all my plugs and ran like complete crap. Hope you get her fixed man.

check your piping for leaks, it sounds like you have a leak after the MAF sensor and it is detecting less airflow than the MAF sees. when this happens, the ecu will shut off the engine. i would check the couplings and the piping for small holes or something.

Most likely you blew one of the charge pipes off your FMIC...
happen to me, easy fix, hairspray those badboys and then put the silicone cupplers back on, they will never come off. tee hee.
if nothing is wrong, check your plugs and make sure they are still good, next... there isn't water where it shouldn't be..

So in between everything, I found out that it is just hard start. I was wondering if anyone had a map or knows somewhere that I can download a map for my car. It will be a lil while before it gets tuned due to my work schedule.
