car runs like complete shit!!! please HELP!
 
Hey everyone my setup is in 94 civic coupe:

d16z6
ihi rhb5 turbo 8psi
timing retarded 3 deg
smic

been using fmu but got vafc and 450's i wired in the inline resistors for 450's and hooked them up. Put -38 across board in high and low in full and partial throttle and the car barely starts up and runs like ----. I tryed many dif. settings but nothing seems to be helping. It kinda seems like maybe not all of the injectors are properly working but im not sure. I think maybe it could be the seals not sealing good??? It idles like really low and wants to die. Not sure though any help would help, and thanks everyone for reading this long post

you have a fuel regulator?? if yes try to turn it down a bit.
Then for the resistor i think you did good.. (from your old post)
seals hade to be enlarged. did you did it? maybe you fucked u something with the mounting and there is some leaks

Might be running too rich. Do as above. Then richen up from there. I'm at -42 at idle and goes to -37 up top. But I have high fuel pressure. Also you know for sure the afc is wired right? ;D

kinda odd, my AFC I had to dump more fuel in the 0-1k range -14% for 310cc injectors. The rest was -28%

make sure all of the injectors are connected because when i put mine in, it ran like ---- until i figured out that one of the wires didn't have a good contact.
just a thought..

I HAVE MINE AT -25 @ 1K AND IT IDOLS OK, CUZ ANYTHING LESS THAN THAT IT WANTS TO DIE, AND FOR THE STARTING PROBLEM I HAD THE SAME THING I JUST BOUGHT ME A NEW BATTERY WITH MORE CRANKING AMPS AND NOW MY ---- STARTS UP THE 2ND TIME. TRY THAT AND SEE IF IT WORKS.

yah two of the injectors were faulty but got two new ones and it runs perfect now. I just had the car idling and pulled the wires out one by one on the injectors to see if it mad a dif. and on two of them it didnt so I knew right away the injectors were bad. So put new ones in and runs like a champ.
