Hi guys. My car looks like having electrical problems. I hope you guys can give me some advises as I don't know what to check next.

Spec:

Stock MAF

Stock injector

Stock ECU

Stock coil stock ignitor stock harness

Stock BOV

Tomei stroker bottom end

Good compression good oil pressure no fluid leak at all. (Maybe an air leak however)

Fuel pressure is perfect as it got new fuel pump and regulator. I can hear the topfeed injectors clicking. Loud as hell indeed. All plugs are fouled but still make proper spark as checked visually. The exhaust has some marks of unburnt fuel. Even the bumper got some fuel stains.

The car will not run properly. First few times I start it it revs fine all the way to 4000rpm. But I must hold the pedal slightly to let it idle or it will rev lower and lower then die on its own. Then it will get harder and harder to start and then won't start at all. I don't have a consult port so I used the PFC to check sensor and everything appeared to me in check. Nothing out of spec and all sensors got voltage. Then I swapped stock ecu back and used a paperclip to check the stock ECU and after trying to start it shows up a code 21 (or 12? It's two slow pulses and one fast pulse)

More weird stuff....after the car stalls when I step on the accelerator pedal it seems its activating fuel pump for a split second...

I don't know where to check. I don't know what's going on.

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
