Car wont start after header install. HELP!
Car wont start after header install. HELP! When is was still off the ground with the front higher then the rear the car started fine after the header install.. So, i lifted it up off the stands and its now flat on the ground it wont start? Could it be flooded? I had it off the ground and at an angle since saturday? Can you flood a fuel injected vehicle?
Any suggestions why it wont turn over?

If that wire is disconnected the engine will flood. check and make sure that there are no vacum leaks at intake around egr tube lol

Well, i broke the temp. sensor but i bought another one a few hours ago so it should work fine now. But the fans wont turn off at all. I start it and the fans turn on... I think that the car is running rich and am gonna get that fixed with ls1edit.. Any ideas why the fANS stay on. OH, i took the air emissions and EGR off the car completely..

We removed the egr and air tubes from our car Friday with the FLP longtubes installation and had no problem with it running rich.
