So I decided to wrap my headers this weekend and after rotating the engine back into place, she just isn't runnin right. It sounds like it's starved for gas. I thought this would go away if I let it run for a bit because I disconnected the fuel pump to rotate the engine. But after a few minutes it still isn't right. It sounds like it is running on a really low idle and I have to open the throttle to keep it runnin. I even tried to hop on and take her for a ride but there is no power. Almost like it's only runnin on one cylinder.

I'm guessin that somethin I disconnected during the engine rotation didn't get reconnected. I'm gonna check all the wires and check the plugs as well. Anybody got any suggestions about what else to check? I won't get to work on it til tomorrow.

try riding it in the learn mode and see if it will reset. i don't remember what rpm it learns at though. hopefully someone else will chime in. you may need to get the tps reset though.

If your on one cylinder, only one header pipe will get warm.

3000 rpm for about 10 to 15 minutes/miles for the ecm to relearn.

Found the problem.

I forgot to plug in the rear injector. Thats what I get for putting things back together in a rush and in the dark.

Thanks for your help guys!
