Ok I've gone right off of Jesse IL tuning sticky and yet my car has yet to start with the PFC. It will load the map ok and I double check it to see if its on the PFC, which it is, but everytime I try to start the car it just turns. Never kicks over. Suggestions?

Have you swapped back the stock ECU to verify it still works? Do you smell fuel after cranking a while? You're not drive-by-wire, are you?

I did swap back to the stock ecu and it'll fire right up. I've verified that the map is in fact on the pfc but still nothing. I have a couple of maps that I've tried thinking maybe the initial map was bad but I still get the same outcome. I'm not sure whats going on with the pfc.

Your sig states you have 700cc injectors. Have you modded the map for your injectors, etc.?

What year and model is your Celica?

Have you reinitialized the PFC?

Its a 2002 GT and yes I've reinitialized the PFC. I don't alter the maps, one, because I don't much much on how to do it, and two, I don't want to screw anything up.

If your fueling isn't stock, it could easily be your problem. Add in all the internals work you've had done (according to your sig) and I wouldn't touch a PFC without knowing how to modify it safely for my build. Maybe someone with experience on modified setups will speak up here. Otherwise, I'd take it to a professional.

I'm going to go ahead and do that but I'm not sure who to take it to honestly. Monkeywrench is just over 6 hours away and thats a long haul for me.

With the basemap and 700cc fuel injectors the car is getting way to much fuel. If you don't know a lot about tuning I would suggest taking it to a professional like mentioned.
