installed procharger kit and car won't start

[derekbollan]

Hey i have an 02 mustang GT and i just put a procharger kit on. I had everything on and ready to go. I went to start it and it would turn over but not fire. I am pretty sure it wasn't getting any gas, i thinkg the fuel pump was not runing. I need some answers from anyone with some help.
thanks

Check your fuel pressure

Check the chip make sure you cleaned the connection good, and the chip is seated good.

on a smaller note, look at the kill switch in the trunk and reset it if you can

......more then likely........seen it far too many times.

yea i have reset my fuel pump, with the switch in the trunk. I am sure it is the chip, but i have cleaned it twice. does anyone have suggestions on what to clean it with?

You need to sand the contacts on the ECU port. The chip should be fine. It's usually the slot on the ECU that is the prob.

If it has the gel coating, you can use a small piece of scuff pad (looks like a tiny sponge) and you should rub front to rear on the contacts...not side to side. Sometimes a toothpick works good to start with just to break up the goo first.

Check your fuse box.

Spark, fuel, compression; in that order...

does the car start and idle with the chip out?

if its the chip tahst causen it i beilive that the "THEFT" light would be flashing when crankin and letting it start, then kill it immediatly because it thinks the cars is bein stolen...happened to me with a diablo chip, took it back out, fine....decided to get a tuner not to mess with that damn ecu.

good luck

Thanks for all the comments, but of course like always it was just a little mistake I made. I didn't screw in the nut that holds ur wire harness to the back of ur computer. When i did get it started it wouldn't idle. Does anyone know why that was? I turned the idle up a little but it is still idling slow.

The idle is bound to be messed up for a while, just drive it around for a hundred miles and if the idle is still messed up then repost in here and we can help ya. The same thing happened when I did my headswap, the idle was totally messed up for like 3 days, then one day it just stopped, like the computer had to relearn everything and once it did it was fine
