Anyone had issues with a CTEC flooding? Installed finger throttle and kill switch couple days ago, tested a few times before parking and was all good. Went to fire it up today, pulled 5 or 6 times and wouldn't do anything. Messed around a bit and found one terminal on kill switch pushed through connector b/c it was assembled upside down...still wouldn't fire. Bypassed tether and plugged in original kill switch, still nothing. No burnt fuses, no other obvious issues...thinking next step will be to jump the kill switch connector on harness side and maybe check plugs.
Just curious if anyone else has had such an issue with these new motors?

Kill switch is fail open.
Try and unplug it.

Tried that, no difference. It gave a little pop on the first pull and that was all I could get. I figured if it was a bad switch trying the good original one should have eliminated that as well...
It's just weird, I started/killed it like 4x when I was done and was working fine, it's just been sitting for 2 days...

Ok try unplug the key module.
(Good to test with an Ohm meter.)

And then the kill switch.

And then the throttle position sensor.

All are normally open.

That should take care of all your permissives to start.
