Car won't start!
Yesterday i took the exhaust system off to weld in my LC-1 and did a scan with EFI Live. I had the key in the "Run" position for about 20min. Later that evening i started the car and it ran for a minute then i shut it off. Then later that night i tried to start it again dut it dosen't start. Does anyone know what the hell happened? I know i am getting spark b/c i checked it. I know i am getting fuel b/c i have a fuel pressure gauge. (Could i have messed up the 02 sensors ?)

I know that i am getting spark and have checked all the fuses (the 2 fuse blocks under the hood and the fuse block behind the drivers door). The only thing left is fuel. Is there a different fuse for the injectors somewhere else?

My Z used to intermittently crank but not start. It ended up being a faulty relay under the hood "IGN 2" I think it was. It wouldn't set any codes and everytime I took it to the dealership it would start right up and they couldn't figure it out. It took me almost 2 years to replace a $5 relay and fix the problem.

Best idea would be to swap some out with a buddies car so you don't have to buy a whole bunch of them.

I got the car to start this morning. I guess the plugs were fouled out somehow! It ran like s##t. I still think when i had the car in the run position for 20min. it leaked fuel past the injectors. I think that there are some plugs fouled out still.

I have a fuel pressure gauge in the car and i did notice after i shut the car off it would drop a few psi. The fuel inj. are aftermarket pieces but just have to find out what size they are and get some new ones. Is there a way to find out what size they are?
