hey guys i JUST got my red top installed and it is running like shit. it idles low, and the engine shakes almost like its about to stall out when its running. i can also smell gas comming from the front end somewhere. we checked the MAF and cleaned it and it improved significantly but the engine still runs like shit. what could the problem be? Also what plugs/plug number do you guys use, and if i have to replace soemthing like the oxy sensor what would be the cross to it. like a 87 300zx turbo i heard. pleeeaaaase help.
ps im running the stock s13 fuel pump, not a walbro. but i doubt this would cause the problem.

well clearly looks like fuel not ingniting. did you check your spark plugs and your timing. its really hard to tell you whats wrong. oviously if i was there i would be able to let you know. check the ecu for fault codes. there should be a link around hear somewhere on how to do that. maybe one of the other members have a link of some kind. i wish i could help. but it could be anything. check you fuel lines also maybe theyre switched around

hey man thanks you were totally right. i bought some brand new notella plugs(who i reccomend to everyone even though they are 50.00 for 4. and i cleaned my injectors. the engine is perfect, and has a massive amount of power. thanks again
