My car is running weird. I was driving to work the other day and the CEL turns on. Everything is running fine. I get to work and turn the car off. I start it again and its fine, no CEL. About 8 hours later, I try it again and it won't start. I kept trying to start it and finally got it going. Heres what is happening now when I start the car.
-I have to try to turn it over like 15 times before it starts.
-Each time it turns over it dies. First time it dies right away at like 100 rpm.
then it dies at like 300 then 500 and so on till it can keep running.
-Once its started, when I hit the gas to rev it, the rpm's drop instead of rise. They drop like 500rpm.
-After like 2 mins the rpm go the right way and my car runs fine.
-My boost is a little high and I haven't turned it down. I checked the plugs and they are looking more like I am running rich instead of lean.
-I also pulled a plug when I tried to start it again, and I smell lots of gas.
Really weird problem, any ideas.
My mods are full exaust and a 255 fuel pump. I also have Idle surge, but i disconnected the sensor that tells when the throttle is closed, so it idles at 2k.
