I just finished my turbo install and i tried to start my car tonight.I have fuel presure but the car gets no fuel.It is like the injectors are not pulsing.I do have 12v to the injectors. The car ran when I parked it. If you have any answers for me I could use the help.And for the love of god does'nt anyone have a set of calipers for sale?? haa haaa.
Thanks John

What injectors are you running? And are you using the stock fuel rail(if 370cc injectors) and you removed it( fuel rail) Make sure you have the feed and return hooked up correctly. It sounds stupid but i have heard of tons of people doing it.

Well after I posted this I was wondering how many people would say that to me.Haa Haa!! I did questuion myself about it also so it's cool ,but I do have them on correctly.I even switched them and tried it the other way.Fuel is regulated on the way out of the rail correct?I dont know what to think I will check out some diagrams today but Im almost certain the injectors are just not pulsing. I hope likehell i dont have a bad ecu.I bought a used JWT From a guy on here.Any more helping answers for me guy's??
Thanks,
John

If you had the front of the car up on jackstands for a while, I would say that all the fuel ran out of the fuel pump housing.
I had the same problem last time I did a clutch job.

If this is the case, fill the tank up, pull the fuel pump fuse and crank the engine a couple times to clear the lines. Then, put the fuse back in and turn the key over 3-4 times to energize the fuel pump. (Not trying to start it). After all that give it a go, it should start right up.

Yes the front of the car was in the air but it is getting fuel to the fuel rail and plenty of it.The lines are on correctly,The fuel pump is working.The plugs are dry as a bone and when i spray starting fluid into the throttle body it runs for a sec so know it is a fuel problem.Ihave spark,the injectors just seem to not be firing.I have checked the fuses under the hood and in the engine compartment.Any other answers for me people?

Quick check- Have you checked all the Ground connections- clean and tight?

Did you swap fuel rails? Or did you put the 370's into your rail? Maybe the fuel rail has a clog.? Or the ecu is bad, I hope not though.
