I installed a Pypes O/R x pipe and had the battery disconnected for about a week during the process. I reconnected everthing properly and the motor turned over and ran fine. The next day it sputtered and wanted to die when idleing for a bit then cleared up and ran fine. The day after that shedidn't turn over at all, maybe two sputters and then nothing. I did not install the tune yet because I need the car facing the other way in the garage to install the cai and underdrive pullies.I didn't think the tune wasnecessary for the x pipe just maybe get a check engine light for the o2's beingequal.

Itsweird because it's acting like its flooded, but that doesn't make sense. Any ideas on the cause???

Wow, I dont know but that does not sound good... hopefully some one on here can help you out.

It took you a WEEK!!

Yes, a tune is not necessary for the first 50 or so miles for an O/R mid pipe, it's just a CEL.

Did you check for leaks? or maybe the o2 sensors weren't connected?
Try a jump start to begin with, it's probably just the battery.

hey baker, the only thing i can come up
with, is for you to check your fuses and
any wiring that could have been touched,
during the x pipe installation.

a wire may have been streched and broken or
a couple of wires may be melted together....etc

It was the motherfreakin fuel filter.

Icharged the battery then said skip it and bought a newOptima Red Top. That didn't do it so I spent about 3 hours checking and testingall the connectionsI touched. All were tip top so I went to bed pissed offand at about0600hrs, awhile laterI shot up in bed screaming"%#$$#%$ fuel filter!!!"I put it on a new onetoday and poof, shes purring like a lion again.

I guess the sediment in the tank settledhad gummed up the filter the fuel was brown and chunkywhen I blew it out. Its been stored for 3 months now and only started a couple times never moved. It was just a coincidence that it cloggedwhen I wasletting it run after theexhaust install.
