So I went ahead and installed my throttle body spacers today. Installation went smooth and followed the instructions to the point.
But now the car doesn't start, lol. I double checked all IAF/MAF wires and they're in the correct spot. The car turns over, so I'm thinking it's something to do with either air or the fuel mixture. Does anyone have an idea as to what the problem may be? Also, the car backfired a couple times while trying to start. Never heard of fuel injection backfire, but there's a first for everything.
The car is a 02 Grand Prix GTP if that helps with anything.
Help please!

Yeah, not working today because I'm here in Chilli at my parents house with no ride, lmao.
And no, I didn't remove any fuel lines. I check for a Vac leak and everything checks out good. All wires are installed as before. It's fucked up.

check to make sure all ignition wires on on snug/spark plug wires.
I don't know if they have a fuel shut off or not as it'll pop the fuel pump breaker. My mustang had one, but not familiar enough with the gp's!!
Check your fuse box to make sure a fuel pump or any fuel related ruse isn't blown.

Negative. The cars battery is , so I'll wait til tomorrow to see what I can do. I know the battery is shot, but it should still start because it turns over. Ah it. I'll just junk the mo-fo.

Yeah, both are down. Hoping to fix the Volvo sometime this summer and sell it. The GTP's going to the shop tomorrow morning to get a check up.
Hopefully she's up and running this weekend :dunno:

Try disconnecting the battery forabout 10 minutes, then hooking it up again.

Had the car towed to the shop yesterday and here's what they said,
The fuel injectors are pulsating, meaning they're just dumping fuel into the engine, lol. It's either from an electrical problem, ground, or PCM.
05GPGTP, question. Do you have an aftermarket PCM in yours? If so, did you get it from ZZP? I'm on the gtpworld.com club, and I just made a post asking the same thing. The PCM increases line pressure and what not so I'm wondering if it blew a seal somewhere.
Anyways, car will down til atleast Monday if not Tuesday.
