hardstart post de-greasing

[oms]

hey guys,I just picked up a an 87 gx with a 91 turbo swapped in (13b). it has bigger injectors, and a haltech E6x ECU. (just some back ground, not sure if you actually need to know that!) anyways, the other day i was driving and my alternator/fan belt snapped and I overheated. I shut it off and had it towed (by this time it was about 3/4\'s up on the temperature gauge, where normal operating temp is about 1/4. I replaced both the PS-Crank belt as well as the alternator-fan belt and everything ran smoothly. Got a jumpstart and she fired up just fine. After cleaning up the engine bay with some degreaser the Power steering warning warning beep has been sounding along with a non functional tachometer. This is intermittent as the tach will bounce on from time to time, ending the beeps. This afternoon, after driving it this morning, it wouldn\'t start for quite some time, after about 5 minutes of on and off cranking it fired up. after a drive it started up fine, then died when i gassed it (around 3500 rpm where boost kicks in). It then would not start again. I pulled the fuse, assuming it was flooding and again, after endless cranking it fired back up. (there is also some pretty mean backfire, sometimes at start up but mostly at higher rpm when i let of the gas)

I am assuming the problems following the degreasing are a result of a short but have no idea. any insight into this would be much appreciated,
Thank, oms.

Not sure what happens in a turbo but when my egi alt belt snapped on the motorway, the battery light came on and the car slowly died as i used up the last of the battery, mine didnt overheat?
The aa gave me a new belt and i was on my way.

Iv used a steam cleaner on my engine and it wouldnt start right away, got water somewhere i shouldnt have! but once it dried it was fine. not sure about the degreaser? maybe you just knocked something while you were cleaning.

Did the car drive normal prior to the overheat? might be best to see what the spark plugs are like and get a compression test. It does not take too long to goose an engine when its overheated.

If its due to the cleaning then have a look at the TPS as mine although looked ok actually was the cause of my non starting and gave zero reading in my datalogit for the rpm signal. Hope you get it fixed.

so i went out today and it started without problem. took it for a ride and logged the data, rpm, injectors and tps all line up perfectly, but it smells like it is running a bit rich, could this be caused by my pre-mix ratios being off? i feel like i may have gone over the 100:1 ratio this time, also my air filter was slightly damp. i checked all of the connections and some are damp. when it stops raining here i am going to throw a heat lamp under the hoot and dry it all up...
