Are you sure the injectors aren't getting stuck open and flooding the cylinder?

No, Im not sure. How would I know if they are? It definately seems to be running very rich but that could just be the basemap.

Tyler doesnt have any good pics of his resistor/injector wiring. Tell him to take some pics and post them up cuz he has the same motor as me. Hopefully we can figure out why my freaking car wont run and fix the problem this weekend. Im going to lose my mind if I have to look at the thing just sitting in the driveway without being able to drive itfor another week! Pics and vids will be posted when this beast hits the road!
Join the club, I've been carless for over a month, and this is the second time it's happened

Ok Im starting to pull my hair out now. I tried 3 more chips with different basemaps andeven triedscott's(philstubbs)ecu whichthere is definately nothing wrong withand it's still running axactly the same! Starting, idling, bogging and then dying. We are going to mess with the injector/resistor wiring on saturday and see if we can find anything else that could be causing the problem. At this point Im assuming it has to be eitherthe wiringor possibly the conversion harness could have a problem. But would the car even start at all if there was a problem with the conversion harness?

i dont think the ecu would come on if the conversion harness was bad. i would look into the injector wiring.

Im having the same problem but mine wont start at all..I just got 450ccs and tried wiring it without a resistor box. Somone told me that i could just solder a 10 ohm resistor into the yellow and black strip wire. well when i go to start it wants to turn over, but nothing. friend said it could be due to not having a basemap made up, soooo i just ordered a crome chip from J-Ktuning.com and its on its way! If anyone knows if the 10ohm resistor is right or wrong please let me know asap. this is my DD. Thanks

Do you have a socketed p28 ecu? If not, the chip isn't going to do you ANY good...

And I believe the resistors you need at 8ohm, not 10
