Sam Amporful · **EMB: Turbo done, now car wont start**

Ok guys, i've tried everything i thought the problem was and i cant figure it out. You guys give it a try. I just got done installing my turbo and getting everything hooked up. Now I go to tuning the emanage. After a full hr. of trying to get it to connect, everything looks ok. I move over to start the car. I start it and as soon as it starts, it slowly dies. On top of that, as soon as I even tap the gas pedal, it dies instantly. I thought it had to do with the Aux. TPS that I wired in. Do I even need that? And do you guys know of any reason why it just dies, or why as soon as I even touch the gas pedal it kills it instantly? Help me out here please.

ok so I do need the Aux. TPS, but do you guys know if that would have to do with the car shutting off instantly. All my voltages are correct so I really have no idea whats the problem and why the car shuts off. It will not idle. When I unplug the EMB the car idles just fine but its rough since i am running bigger 305 injetors. since the car starts acting wierd when the Emanage is plugged in, me and the guy thats doing the tuning thought it was the emanage, but he had another emanage and the same thing is happening when he plugged that one in.

No idea man. I don't know anything about emanage. MS gets all the love on this forum these days. Joe Perez and a few others used that in the past and might could help. But most here use MS so support for that EMS is not abundant.

Only thing I could possibly suggest is jumpering the fuel pump in the diagnostic box to see if that helps. But really I'm not familiar with that EMS or how it works/what it does, etc.

Thanks dude. Atleast you attempted. I would've hated to just not get any response.
