I have an issue all of the sudden with my 13B Turbo not wanting to
start.
It will fire occasionally, but just won't start running.
If I am persistent enough (and have enough battery), It will
finally start,
but does not run well. Seems to have a miss in it.  It runs better
if I turn
the mixture to lean, in fact, I can turn the mixture all the way
counter
clock wise.  I think that it used to die when I would do that.  When I
switch to controller B, it runs better for a few seconds, and then
goes back
to missing.  It doesn't start any easier on controller B either.

I haven't done a lot of troubleshooting on it yet, but wondered if
anyone
has had a similar issue. I did replace the spark plugs, but that
didn't seem
to help any.  I still have the stock turbo on it, so, maybe the
turbo is
starting to go.  It also started this problem, after I fixed a
problem with
the starter.  My Cessna ignition switch got some water in it and it
got to
where it wouldn't engage the starter.  I took it apart, and cleaned
all of
the contacts to fix it.  I have that switch also wired to do the
coil test
when you select mag1 or mag2 on the switch.  The coil test only
works on
controller B though, so I don't think that would affect controller A.

I guess that maybe my next step is to verify that I'm getting spark
on all
plugs, and then maybe try removing the plumbing to the throttle
body, and
try starting it then.  That should verify if my turbo is failing, and
restricting air flow.
