Car runs like crap, spits, sputters etc! HELP - Page 4

Z'mnypit · 05-16-2007, 01:11 AM

SHE RUNS! And pretty strong. Thank the lord. No more SES light. Did the knock sensor rewire mod without having to remove the starter and all is well now. Going to shim the wastegate a little tommorow and she how it does. Only running around 5psi right now. Also going to dial in the timing 1st.
Thanks!

Thats funny, I could not even remove the rear knock sensor connector with the starter bolted in. Kinda makes me wonder......

Glad you got it fixed. But only 5 psi? These cars run 7psi stock so you might have a vacuum/boost leak or your turbo might be saying bye-bye......

I am glad you got it worked out, I am not sure I was much help just throwing ideas out there and stuff.

I dont know man, it took a little wiggling but I had it out easily in less then 2min.

Turbo seemed with in spec of the TSRM, the shaft had minimum play. The boost may be going that high, the gauge may be messed up. I noticed it had a little delay. Also I know the timing isnt exactly right. But now that its running Ill start dialing in the small things. Thanks for all the suggestions!

I did the same thing hehe, I Was testing some of the components listed and found my ignitions coild put out no voltage and had a resistance of /6-/9 instead of .3. SO i guess those are bad hehe. Anybody have a sugestion where to buy some new ones, or who makes some good ones?

Some new knock sensors? You may want to try this 1st if thats what your referring to.

if they are all reading the same thing then its unlikely they are bad.

as for the 5psi, it may just be your gauge as the stockers are old and inaccurate. thats one of the things on my todo list also. so be careful shimming, dont wanna run too lean. congrats on getting it started though

wish i could do the same
