[Mk2] [Turbo] UK Rev4 Turbo Conversion - Starting Issues

Post by mr2jay »

Hey Guys

You MAY be able to help me here

Just completed a UK Rev 4 Conversion to a Rev 3 3S-GTE engine. Swapped in the ECU etc but have a problem.

The car fires up first time every time and sound sweet. The trouble is that the engine cuts out after about 30 seconds every time.

Turn it over again and fires up and cuts out again at the same time

How can I solve this? It is urgent now

Cheers

Diagnostic port for error codes !

You can also try bridging FP & B+ in the port ! This drives the fuel pump permantely incase it's being primed but not running when started!

It the rear end also cocked in the air ?! Got enough fuel in it ?! Try sticking a gallon in it ....
