Looking for some advise. I have 91 GT with twisted wedge heads,track heat intake,tfs stage 1 cam,70 mm throttle,bbk longtube headers,75 bullit, 24lb injectors, paxton regulator.
My problem is it just sits there and turns over but doesn't start.
I think my regulator is bad...it's a little old but was working on a friends car. Any suggestions would be helpfull.....
Are you getting gas-push in schrader (sp?) valve on fuel line to see if your getting fuel?
Are you getting spark?
Please post what you've checked so far.

Could be alot of problems! From my experience, if everything is working the car could be flooding. Probably not with injectors smaller than 36#'s though.

Takes Three things to make a car run.
Spark- Did you check a Spark Plug
Fuel- Try the Schrader Valve
Air- Nothing Blocking the Throttle Body. Example: A Rag.( Done That)
Check for spark. A screwdriver in the spark plug boot, (hold the plastic handle) hold the metal of the screwdriver close to ground, (the intake, shock tower, etc...) and have someone crank it. Spark should jump to ground.
Check for gas. Turn the key forward, then stick a screwdriver tip in the schrader valve on the fuel line. It looks like a tire valve, located almost directly above the #1 spark plug.
Let us know what you find and we'll go from there.

EXGMGUY,

EXGMGUY, Talk about scary. LOL, that is a hell of a spark. I once had a mailfunctioning msd 6al ground to my arm. Sent me to the ground in a big hurry. I wasn't to happy about that, espically since I about pissed my pants. LMMFAO.

I have fuel to the fuel rails, and i have spark already tested some of the plugs. Brand new mass air,and there is no air blockage. The rails were off of an older mustang and my regulator was a used one. It has been sitting for about a year or more. So I replaced the rails with the stock ones I just took off,and ordered an areomotive adj. regulator and hope this will fix problem....
Any other sugestions are welcome.....
Wayne,
Drive it like you stoll it!!!!!!!
I would like to thank everyone that replied to my post. I have my car running now, It was the fuel rails I think. I swapped them out and bought an arowmotive regulator and she fired right up. Now I'm going to break it in before adding my novi 1000 to my set up.
Again thanks everyone...
