R32 Gts-T Starting Problem

[Truffles]

Hey SAU

I just walked outside to start my R32 and it point blank refused to run. It will turn over and begin to start, but then instantly stall before you can build revs.

A few days ago, I had to take a recirculation pipe off the BOV and give it back to my friend for him to sell his car. I then replaced it with the blanking plate which was on the car when I purchased it (for hectic dosing, yo) and reset the ecu. Before you say this is the reason, the car ran for months with the plate on it until I could get a recirculation pipe. So chances are this is not the cause of the problem.

I'm guessing it could be fuel or vaccum/intercooler piping related but since it's an aftermarket fuel pump, I can hear it whirling away when I put the car in acc, as well as the injectors fueling when I start it.

Mods:

PWR return flow FMIC

Stock R34 RB25 turbo

Yellow jacket coilpacks

3 inch turbo back exhaust

greddy prospec II EBC

Bosch 040 fuel pump

If anyone has any ideas or thoughts before I do something drastic, it would be much appreciated.

Did you blank the BOV and the return hole for the the plumb back hose?

Should have mentioned it, but yes I did. Cheers.

Did it work after you removed the pipe

Just aiming towards large vacuum leak

It didn't. Which leads me to believe it could be the same thing. The symptoms are similar to when an intercooler pipe is blown, but worse.

Get the hose back put it on see if it works

Or double check your blocked off BOV and return hose

If it has a large vacumm leak it won't start if it's only small it won't boost properly
