help please im out of ideas :(

[toad]

hey ppl. i have a 91 facelift bc5 rs. last weekend i decided to take manifold off etc to give a paint and clean everything up. upon installing again the engine wants to stall now and while reving it (still in the garage) the engine pops. ive tried changed coil plugs round, injector plugs round, pulled it apart agin and retraced my steps but still no difference. i was wondering if any1 had any ideas or any in invercargill could pm me and pop round to have a look plz. thanks ???

have you got all the hoses and wires hooked up and also are the fuel lines around the right way

[toad]

im 99% sure i have a hoses and wires and fuel lines hooked up the right way. when i pulled back apart i rechecked everything and replaced hoses that i thought could be the problem. i had the injectors out of the rails and fuel rails out and disconnected from the fuel rail under manifold. ive looked at pictures on the net (couldnt find any clear enuf that had a close up pic) but yea im soo sure ive done everything. the ground on the manifold there is only 1 connector that goes there?

did you remove the idle air control valve? & fit the we valve around the right way, just suggestions?

[Guest]

any CEL's?

[toad]

*cuddas* its that the thing that sits in the left hand side (not turbo side) of manifold? circle thing with lines on it? that has been out. its back in. the lines are facing out and it has a rubber o ring thing that sits in there aswell.

*BF5GT90* whats CELS?

check engine light

[toad]

the manifold i put on was the off the same engine but not the one that came off. i had to put a bolt in a threaded hole on right side on maifold at the back as had a flame come shooting out of there when started for 1st time, looked on orignal manifold and there was a bolt in there.

hmmm double check the fuel lines.

is it actually idleing at all or just turning over and stalling.

also is it auto or manual just for curiousity

[toad]

engine lights works as per normal thankfully lol

[toad]

its a manual. when i start it, it idles then after 30 sec or so i wants to stall but if i tap the throttle it goes but then still wants to stall when i take my foot off the pedal

[toad]

i do see your point about fuel lines as it starts it has fuel but if lines arnt around the right way no fuel will get to it causing it to stall?

[Guest]

yer i had a 90 VZ once ( non turbo ) couldnt figure out for the life of me why it wouldnt start when i swapped the long blocks over. turned out the fuel lines were back to front going to the manifold.

may not be your issue but it was for me at the time

[toad]

is it just my eyes or is there quite a bit of slack on the throttle cable?

looks like its tucked under the alternator cables too... could it be causing low revs, having the idle set wrong?
