Looks like a backfire through the pop off valve on the third attempt. I wonder if the car is starting off the csv whilst cranking, but there's no fuel flow through injectors. Did you adjust the mixture screw at all?

There is no mixture screw on the throttle body. There is an idle air bypass screw that sets the basic warm idea speed.

But let's start by ruling out stupid. You don't have the boot on the top installed! Without that, there is no airflow through the metering unit, the air door does not lift, the safety fuel pump shut off switch stays grounded, and it will shut off the fuel pump immediately after you start it. Put the boot back on, then try it.

The culprit is right in front of your nose........

Joe,

You could spend the rest of the year and this motor will NEVER run. The moment I opened your video, I saw the problem.

I doubt even John W. or Ian C. or the best Porsche mechanics in this community could make it idle for a second. Go back to the garage and spend a few minutes looking at your motor. Did you take some pictures before you removed the CIS?

Don’t worry. Your problem is very simple. You just don’t know it. I will PM it to you. Good luck.

Tony

I saw that as well, Tony. It's so obvious.

I saw it and my brain went "NO! WRONG!" But it took me longer than I like to realize why since it was so out of normal.

Not to pick on Joe of course, we've all been there.

Can someone please tell me what is so obvious? I have only had this car for 2 years after selling my 67 912 and before that a 70 Boss 302. I have looked over the engine several times and took pictures as I removed the parts and tried to label everything. The only thing that I may have done was not put the CSV plug and the AFS in the correct position?

Joe, I am following this thread trying to learn as I will be removing my CIS in the future. I am learning and following posts to learn the dos and don't. Did you check your PM for Tony's info?? Is your airbox installed correctly?? I am just taking a guess, it looks strange right behind the fan, looks like it is not secured properly? Again this is just a guess, I would like to know also. I hope you get it sorted out. Good luck.

No he hasn't pm'd me yet but I'm sure my air box is installed correctly. The only thing I see is that I do not have connected is the oxygen sensor plug, but I've tried it with it plugged in and without and there is no difference.

Understood, I was not trying to insult you or question your work, just trying to help, whatever is so obvious, unfortunately it is not obvious to me.

I missed it when I first looked at the video, but the critical part that's missing is the intake boot (the rubber boot behind the fuel lines in this photo). Without that there's no air flow to lift the sensor plate, and no fuel delivery from the injectors

According to Tony and PeteKz the top boot (pope hate) needs to be installed. I'm sure I have tried to start it with everything on but I'll try it again with it installed.

Joe,

If you had the CIS boot installed and and still would not run for a second, then your problem is a massive air leak in the system. You had a backfire shown in your video, so there was ignition and fuel. The question is how much air is going into the system making it too LEAN.

Do a smoke test again. I know you did it already but did you do it correctly? Take a video how you did the smoke test. Keep us posted.

Tony

I haven't done a smoke test yet, just putting one together to try it.

That is a lean misfire, and is completely different from a backfire, and result from opposite issues.
