Installed supercharger wont start!
Wednesday, October 26, 2011 8:42 PM
OK I guys I swear this is the last help me supercharger question!

I put my new flashed pcm, tried to start it. The car cranked, but would not start. Now I leave the key on the on position for 10 min until the light goes off and flip it to the on position. Now light goes off. Go to start the car and again nothing it makes the starting sound and doesn't even try to turn the engine. Any ideas????

I went out and tried again the car still wont start. The theft light is def not on as well. Also I removed the cruise control this would not cause this would it?

OK I am a retard forgot to plug back in the spark plug harness! It starts now but its idling at 2k.... and when I put it in gear it goes by itself.... could this be a side effect of removing the cruise control and cruise control cable? Or do I have a vacuum leak???

vac leak. I had this when I last took the mani off. I pinched a vac line between the flange and the head (guess thats what I get for doing it at 10 at night in the pitch blackness with a tiny flashlight because I still needed to drive back to school that night and @!#$ took longer than expected).

I have a habit of forgetting to plug my injectors or coil pack in too. Now that's always the first thing I check. Definitely sounds like you have a vacuum leak.

Will do when I get home. I also was told by someone to check /clean the IAC? Also I was told if it was a intake manifold leak the idle would be low / rough. Does that sound correct?

check all the hoses. brake booster hose, the hoses from the bypass valve to the blower, check and make sure that your TPS and IAC are plugged in, Make sure your TMAP is plugged in. Make sure the fuel regulator has vaccum to it. just go over the instructions and double check EVERYTHING!

That bottom hose on the supercharger bypass is supposed to be open to the air correct?
Re: Installed supercharger wont start!

yes...

I think I have a leak maybe on the top left of the intake mani. I'm going to have to take it apart now grrr. It started racing while it was accelerating at idle now as well. When I spray that spot it stops racing so I guess that's it...

I'm almost positive its an intake manifold gasket leak. Dropped it off at a buddies this morning on my way to work Hopefully he can figure it out for me. I don't have time to look it this week
