Hi so to start I just completed a xp cam install ported head gen v swap with northstar I have a canned tune from zzp. So the problem is I got everuthing back together and it won't crank the security light on the dash is flashing. And I have no fuel pressure. I tried the security reset procedure with no luck. Can anybody offer a suggestion as to any sensors thay would cause no crank or fuel pressure or what else I should do to reset the security system ... srry for the lack of punctuation I'm tired and don't care lol
 


Fuel pressure can still be had with the security light flashing, so you likely have no power to the fuel pump.

That light can disable the injectors though.

For no crank, look at your starter wires.


Do you have the stock PCM?? Just to see if it will fire?

Having a canned tune with those mods isnt a good idea either.
 
The canned tune is just to get it on the road til a dyno tune can be done its also on stuck pullet right now... the battery is good for sure and the wires connected to it. And I don't have the stock pcm thos was brought to zzp to ne tuned
 
put the stock pcm back in, if it cranks and runs its the pcm needing a case learn maybe.

if you still get nothing, you left a wire off or something somewhere.
 
Ha just found a ground I missed on the tranny. Maybe that will do it. Ill leave u in suspence a minute and let ya know how it goes
 


Yup starts fine now but I have a hell of a tick... and the n* throttle does not seem to rest back on idle after giving it some gas any ideas?
 
ive read that a few guys have trouble with the cable being to tight some times, the cable could be not clipped in right. should be a bit of slack.

the tick could be a lifter that just has not pumped up yet if it hasn't been run to long yet.
 
After my cam install my lifters ticked for a minute or two after until they pumped up with oil. Now its all injector clicking and ebay headers leaking noises lol! :P
