Thread: Log of me TRYING to start the car

    Log of me TRYING to start the car

    STOCK TUNE EXCEPT THE AFR IS SET AT 14.4 I believe.

    I reset fuel trims via unplugging the battery for 45 minutes.
    JUST changed O2s... Kind of worried about the passenger's side o2 - is it okay?
    which would it be B1 or B2? Reason I'm worried is I got a little oil in it.

    I'm not able to start. Usually it will turn on if the MAF is plugged in but it wont now.
    Scan is with maf plugged in.
    If the starter is turning the engine @ 150 rpms is that too low?

    I think I'm lean.. am I right?
    Help me get it started!!
    thanks

    Maybe its because I set my stoich at 14.4 (trying to adjust for a max of 10% ethanol)? Wouldnt changing my stoich to 14.4 cause me to go lean?

    I thought ethanol itself made cars leaner? thus I should be adding fuel..

    After charging the battery for 24 hours I got it started today.. even after setting my commanded stoich to 14.4 (but it eventually died)

    14.4 is actually richer than 14.7
    look at it as
    air to fuel
    14.7 to 1
