help please!! so much fuel it wont even fire
this is going on my third month figuring this out! installed le2 package ported intake, bigger inj 37lbs and all supporting mods. the car is dumping so much fuel in it wont even start the fuel is even getting in the oil. the computer is tuned for everthing i have everthing on the car is new all msd ign etc etc
the starter is dragging very bad at first i thought it was the batt but that wasnt the case. so i bought a new starter and its still dragging so slow it wont start you pull a plug and there soaked yes i'm gettting spark. is it vapor lock??
the only thing i haven't replaced is the fuel press reg which is stock. it also has 41lbs of fuel press when you turn the key please help!!

when i first got this car together it would start for 5 seconds then die, it would flood itself out. about 5 times of that and i changed the plugs and oil i had fuel in the oil. now when i try to start it the starter drags and it wont start. the only thing i did between changing plugs and oil was put a msd coil on the car?

Here's what I'd do:
Put stock injectors in
Put stock tune back in if you can (It will run on a stock tune). I've seen corrupted files give guys a fit til they swapped a GOOD KNOWN tune back in.Not saying yours is but that would rule it out.
Pull plugs and squirt oil in the cylinders(this will help build compression back in the engine to help it start)
Make sure you have a fully charged battery
Check ALL the connections to the battery and starter
Spin the engine over to see if it still drags, and to oil the cylinders back up
If it spins good, put the plugs back in and try to start it
I feel your pain, there's not much worse than a motor that won't start and you can't figure out why.

i wouldnt go too crazy about cranking it...a friend had a leaky injector and didnt know it...had a high-torque starter on it...went to fire it up, and punched a hole thru the piston.
