Hondata 4bar map sensor

Post by 9k_Dre »

Hello,

What is the map sensor supposed to read when the car is off? My car is turbo'd and I believe that the map sensor is faulty. Right now it is -.9 MAP when trying to crank but car will not start. Is this correct?

Don't worry about that, as it is not running yet.

I attached the starting MAP from hondata as well as the 2 datalogs i took while trying to start the car. I tried reducing the cranking fuel trims because before I did this the car would crank then backfire very loud. Now it just cranks and cranks but wont start. I checked timing, I checked spark, and I am getting fuel. I am not sure what else it could be that is causing a no start. Car idled fine before I added coolant.

Will it start if you put the stock MAP sensor back in and change the settings back to stock MAP sensor?

If it does not start with the stock sensor then it is most likely not a problem with 4bar map sensor. How are you checking for fuel and spark?

I put a node light to each injector and the gauge is reading 60 psi at the rail. I pulled each spark plug and grounded them then cranked the motor each one fires. I not sure what else to do

Is there evidence of the injectors actually spraying fuel when you pull the plugs?

Oh yeah, I pulled the plugs today and they were wet with fuel so I dried them and then reduced the cranking fuel trim by 10% but still no start

If you put the stock injectors back in and return the ECU to stock will it start the vehicle?
