Default 1st start up (kinda) Nova/LQ9/ls6 intake

Here is a 1st attempt at starting it up. I do not have a MAF sensor hooked up yet.

I don't really know???
I do not have a MAF sensor yet, so I am hoping that will help. I don't think that is all though??
The mechanic helping me is sick, so I thought i would this to see if anyone had any ideas.

Without the maf, U R getting no airflow input, maybe no IAT input..
Maybe, finish the install first??
That will probably go a long way toward it being a successful start....

I did not think I would be driving it around or anything. I did think it would run a little w/out the MAF. I just did not have it yet, and thought I would give it a go.

It should start without a maf. But it most likely won't start without a map sensor.

I put the MAF sensor on today. It made no difference in how it started. Do I just need to have it tuned or do you guys think there is something else wrong? Or is it hard to say without seeing it. I think I am at a brick wall. I need to take to someone to help me trouble shot, but I have not found anyone here in Fort Wayne Indiana to take it to.
Thanks for any help,
Brandon

71anticarb, yours ran with no map present? Sd or mass air tune? Would it differ if it is a sd tune vs mass air?

Sorry off topic but did u change the water pump out? Looks like u have the truck style accessories and dbw Tb been looking into what all is involved in ls6 intake swap and have seen some that people say they can keep stock but most say need to change just wondering what you did and couldn't quite see it to tell.

VATS is off. I'm not sure what the ECM is from? I got from PSI, after my original would not pulse the injectors. I think it from an Escalde, 02 or 04. I can call Jon at PSI to confirm.

thes are some suggestions from SS1875:
"From the video it almost sounds like a coil pack is not plugged in or all cylinders arent firing. Could be wrong hard to tell by a video.

Did you check PV clearance, install the cam straight up(not advanced or reatarded), check all plugs wire and coil connections??"

My cam specs are = TSP 233/239 .603/.600 112 LSA
I will not be able to check the other stuff until next weekend.

Yeah, it is an 98-02 camaro water pump. Take a look at the last page or 2 in my build thread in my sig. It gives most of what I did. If you have other questions PM me.

Ok guys I just went out and tried mine.

I tried it with the maf and map plugged in ran good

With the maf unplugged and map plugged in still ran ok

With maf and map unplugged it would run but would not idle had to feather the throttle

With maf plugged in and map unplugged it would barely idle and surged real bad

Hope this helps.

Thanks. I think mine has other issues, but that helps rule some stuff out for me.

Do you know what your fuel pressure is.

A few weeks ago it was about 60 I think. That was when my injectors were only pulsing 1 time. I had a bad ECM I think. i have not checked with the new ECM. I'll add that to the list of things to check.
thanks

I got the MAF on. It made no difference. It sounded & acted the same. I have some other issue.
