Hey guys, Im a bit stumped right now. I was driving fine yesterday until i decided to pass a guy and floored the pedal...all of a sudden my car stalled out and wouldnt move i pulled over to the side and it wouldnt start back up...

When i pull the fuse for the gas the car starts for a second then dies.

When i start the car with my pedal all the way down itll crank a little but wont start..

Im getting a shit load of codes. Im not sure what to think wether my ecu burnt out or if my FRPS is done.

Codes are : 0183,093,61b,0068,0581,0611,446

The DTC codes are kind of all over the map. One of them indicates a fuel leak detected and another points at the fuel injection system. Since you don't get any fire ups from killing the injectors I would start there. Not sure how you would test fuel injectors other than taking them to a shop and have them blown out and flowed.

When you have the pedal to the floor it cuts off your fuel injectors and you use this to clear a flooded motor. It will never actually start with it to the floor.

I always crank it with the pedal to the floor and then while still cranking ease off the pedal; and when it starts, hold the throttle in that position until she smooths out. Then let it idle normal.

You can try unplugging the maf and trying to start. If it does start don't drive it. If it does start it should point to the frps.

That's good place to start. Unplugging the maf bypasses the sensors and goes to default trims.

Let the car run a little bit with the maf unplugged, clear the codes. Shut it down, then plug the maf back in and try to start it warm and watch for codes this time to see if cant point you any further.

When the maf is unplugged the ecu is using the load with failed maf table (I think). It also can't correct the fuel trims because it's in open loop. The point is it's not going to be exact but it will be better than what you get with a failed frps that's feeding the wrong data to the ecu. I don't think it has anything to do with your maf, the frps would be my first guess.

by waiting for the new frps? :p

could cycle the key with vacuum line disconnected and see if fuel leaks out the open end of the FRPS?
