    Angry 3TGTE winding over but not starting

    Hey guys! having trouble with my bus! it is a 1979 Toyota t18, running a 3tgte with a micro tech mt4 with hand controller, the engine has a ct26 turbo with supra 440cc injectors, i have had it started once, ran fine, then it stalled like the ignition was turned off? now when i try and turn it over, it sparks and gets fuel, and it pops blue flames out the back of the turbo..

    there is no errors coming up on the computer, only the air temp as i have not hooked that up,

    Also the microtech has got a tune on it from another t18 running a 3tgte with a ct26 with 550cc injectors,

    any ideas?

    Thanks,
    Howie

    Where about's are you checking the fuel. Are the injectors letting the fuel through?

    Are you able to squirt some fuel into the throttle body?

    the injectors are firing, all 4 fire at one time, apparenlty that's how they work? fuel is getting in because the spark plug's are blackish, have gave them a clean acouple of times and put them back in.

    the engine has been rebuilt also.

    There should be a function on the MT4 called MIXTRM, currently set at 0%. Change it to +25%.
    This will help compensate for the smaller injectors.


    How easily did it start last time?
