everytime i start my car i have to give it gas so it will stat started the idle jumps from like 500 to 1500 , mind u its a 2.7I and i have the mustang injectors in it, but why do u guys think it would do this

did you have any tuning done with the injectors? ie chip? B/c you need a chip to run those injectors. Otherwise it sounds like the motor "drowning" with fuel.

What is your fuel pressure reading currently? what injectors were you running before?

no i dont have that chip yat i now what one u are talking about and im going to get it ,will that make that much of a difference ,but i do think ur right with it drowning in fuel because when i do start it ,its spitting shit out the back,but my question is,is why does it only do it on start up cause when its been running for like 5 min the thing runs great ,

i have a baverian motors adjustible fuel pressure reg and i think its set to 46 psi

i also noticed that when i get on her and hit it sometimes she flys and other times it bogs at around 6000 rpm would all this be related

thanks

Fuel injector upgrade goes together with fuel pump upgrade along with regulator. All need to work together. If you use upgraded BMW/Bosch injectors e.g. 19lb they would be plug and play in most cases.

r u saying that there is something else wrong with the car because on start up it is not running right for sure,and i have a regulater and been adjustinging it and it dont do much

what would u think is wrong if its not the chip what else would there be

other options

thanks

I think you need to play with your fuel presure regulator

Go back to stock, and then try again.

thats the thing i have it set at stock pressure but could it be feeding to much fuel at stock pressure due to the bigger injecters

starting problems:
1. check the function of the cold start valve located on the intake manifold.
2. check the thermo-time switch on the thermostat housing.
3. check for vacuum leaks

for the other problems:
1. check for vacuum leaks
2. check the fuel pressure and delivery. inconsistent pressure=bad pressure regulator, insufficient delivery=need pump.
3. check the idle control valve
