somethings wrong..?
i just finished my turbo build on my 1990 miata with the 1.6.
it was running good i took it got gas filled it up all the way with premium went to my moms house and turned it off. an hour later it wouldnt stay running. i would start the car and a second later it would die. i tried giving it gas and it did the same thing started then died immediatly. rpms go to 2k then it dies. so i figured it might be a fuel filter so i switched that out with no help. i also thought maybe a vacuum line got loose so i checked every clamp on every hose and they all seemed good. so what would cause my car to start no problem every time but die a split second later. i was running 5psi for that day only drove the car about 10 miles after the build till this happened. |
plugs and wires are also new.

-What are you using to add fuel?
-What are you using to retard timing? -What are you using to monitor AFRs? |
nothing nothing nothing.... lol
i adjusted the idle thats it for now. |
just so u know my goals well i just has to run. ha
i bought my 1990 miata for $500 and just bought a bunch of ebay turbo crap for another $500 just has to run so i can resell the next owner can choose what they would like to do.. |
i think the vacuum leak might be the valve cover breather has a filter on running to the atmosphere and not to the intake so maybe ill switch that and see what happens..

airflow meter

Looks like I need to stock up on salvage motors. |
Sounds like a broken connection to the AFM dropping out the fuel pump relay. You can verify this by jumping F/P to ground in the diagnostic box.

Thanks, I won a bet with myself. What's with the rash of noobs with 5psi no fuel setups these days?
Looks like I need to stock up on salvage motors. They obviously think they know more than everyone else on the board. It's also obvious that he hasn't done any searching or research. __________________ Best Car Insurance | Auto Protection Today | FREE Trade-In Quote |

This thread is on permanent phaggy time.

This project sounds fun. I wanna do one too!!
But in all seriousness, who is collecting the money for when this motor pops (after he gets it running again)? |
hahaha you guys get so defensive over me looking for help to get it running. i never said i wanted to dump a bunch of money into this. but thanks anyway guys
|
Right, you wanna just make this POS full of eBay junk run so you can off load it on someone else. Sign me up to help. :jerkit:

the reason its not running right is cause you're not running enough boost.

I wouldn't buy a miata if it was boosting less than 20psi. I recommend you turn it up at least to 20psi for the buyer test drive.
