delete plate issue PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

[NRG-GT]

hey guys so i just followed a very detailed step by step write up on installing these. went to crank the car and it died imediately and started to smoke. also there is a very strong gas smell but can not find anything that looks like a leak. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!

Is the tune adjusted for the deletes?

 

[waketek516]

Do you have a custom tune for these? You can't run delete plates on the stock tune.

 

[GrnBullitt08]

+1 on the tune....

 

[killr3v]

C'mon man. Lol the install clearly states you need a tune for these.

yea got it from bbr last night been real happy with their tunes...... really hoping this isnt the problem but then again it would alot easier fix. any other ideas?

 

[Jarrod@latemodelresto]

Sounds like a tune issue to me as well.

 

[NRG-GT]

even with the strong fuel smell under the hood and smoke?

Did you push your injectors back down all the way? You may have popped one off the rail.

The dying sounds like the tune though. Something could have gotten lost in translation.

Did yo put (leave) the gaskets on the manifold? Put them on the delete plates? Possible manifold leak? If installation was proper, the tune is the most likely culprit as noted.

yea the injectors had worried me but i looked at my friends car and they look exactly the his as far as how they set in there.

the smoke and the strong smell of gas would lead me to believe you have something loose or improperly torqued or installed. If it were me I'd pull it all off, and inspect everything as I reinstalled it. As someone said it may be a loose injector, or a leak somewhere.

 

[killr3v]

You didn't answer the question about the gaskets. Did you forget to put the gaskets on by any chance?

 

[NRG-GT]

im thinking thats what im goin to attemp suck sucks cause its so late but what has to be done has to be done.

 

[NRG-GT]

oh just saw that message yea i put the gaskets back in they should be double checked i guess

Did you check the vacuum line behind the intake manifold?

I just installed delete plates today. I loaded a tune from the diablostore but after a block it went to failsafe mode and shut off. I checked for trouble codes and got P1000, P300, P0600 and P2105. I loaded the AM/Bama tune and the car ran fine.

 

[TexasBlownV8]

Did you check the vacuum line behind the intake manifold?

Yup, that was my other thought, but wasn't sure if there was a vacuum line to the plate system. Make sure you plugged it!!! A vacuum leak will cause havoc!!!

 

[GrnBullitt08]

From what you originally wrote it sounds like you made the delete plates from your stockers.....if so make sure that your work isnt faulty and that those delete plates sit flush. If you have some debris in the way that not allowing the manifold to seal properly your gonna get some smoke and a burnt fuel smell. Especially since the car died immeditely like it did. Sounds like a big vaccum leak.

I would take it all back off, check everything over and reinstall.

yea the injectors had worried me but i looked at my friends car and they look exactly the his as far as how they set in there.

You could have ripped a o-ring on the injector. I've had that happen without even removing the rails.
