If the frps goes bad would it still read pressure? Data logs show fuel pressure at the rail, healthy amount actually 40-60psi, but the car won't start, it has fuel and spark, but won't start, checked all fuses in the cabin and the blade fuses under the hood. Nothing. Ideas? No CEL's either

From my understanding a bad FRPS won't keep it from starting. The car will run like crap though.

That's what I thought to, and it reads pressure, but the car will not start at all and I have no idea why. Checked every fuse, it has spark and fuel, I'm pretty lost here :shrug:

interesting approach... could be MAF related i suppose. i did install a mafia to handle the increased airflow so it could be bad... any way to test those?

Did you have the car retuned after installing the MAFia? Those aren't plug and play. Adjustments need to be made.

Wrong FRPS will cause the car NOT to start....As a matter of fact everytime I blew one my car NEVER started it just cranked and cranked. A good way to check is pull a spark plug if it's covered in fuel your frps is most likely bad.

Got it figured out, had an issue getting it started originally, soaked the plugs, replaced the plugs, updated the tune and she fired right up. Thanks for the help everyone.:banana:
