stage 2 issue

I recently installed the zzp stage 2 kit with 2.9 pulley and 60 injectors.I do have the proper supporting mods as well , head\downpipe, 2.5 catback, heat exchanger . I installed everything properly. Car starts but won't idle. I have to feather the pedal to keep it going. It also sounds like I have a misfire as well. I plugged in an obd2 code scanner and won't read the car. I have the canned zzp tune . Any ideas? Thank you

id bet you have a vacuum leak. re-check everything you did, vacuum lines and the gasket between the blower and manifold. also check the air intake connections, and throttle body gasket. dont forget about the injector o-rings. if your sure everything is good, contact zzp.

This. Def check to make sure your injectors are seated correctly in the head as well.

**** that, make your own lines way way cheaper. Even going full AN with PTFE lined it will be cheaper, including an outer weather proof casing

Would have! ....but it broke more when they were diagnosing the pump. I just said eff it it'll at least have a warranty with it plus I don't have time to drop the tank and run it seeing as I don't have a jack or stands

Wait...they broke the lines? They should be comping at least the labor if they caused the issue. If the lines were already broken you would of smelled fuel when you tried to start it and keep it running. The lsj stock system is like 58psi which if the pump is good then it doesnt take a large hole to dump fuel out

It was a real bad fuel smell and I had lean codes out the wazoo.. it just split more when they took it down.. They didn't know it was a fuel line problem they thought it was fuel pump related
