I tried to keep a 5.3 4l80 build low buck. I looked for answers on here and watched a bunch of YouTube videos.
I have an Amazon sloppy mechanics stage 2 cam, Deka 60lb injectors, kemso 340 pump, Osaias adjustable FPR, 2 Bar MAP, no MAF, and plan to boost so the manifolds are set up for a turbo. Wiring harness and ecu were not from engine. I should have kept everything stock and then built on, but I didn't and here I am.
Last week I used the conversion spreadsheet for the Deka 60's and with some other stuff it started and idled. Before that I had to give it throttle to do anything. Now it has me completely confused. I don't know if its the tune, FPR, or something else. I'm not looking for someone to give me anything, just some advice on where to look.
I pulled a plug and it looked like it was running really rich. I pulled the fuel pump relay and it started up and ran with 0 pressure on the FPR gauge. Plugged it back in, checked the gauge went to 60, and just turned over. If I adjust the FPR to show 0 psi then it will start and run for a few seconds and turn off. Assuming I'm doing something really dumb and am frustrated.
Any input would be greatly appreciated. I just want it idle, and I can go from there.
