Problem Solved

[Hooptytalon]

Earlier this week I posted about my intake being wholly coated in nasty oil...someone suggested I check my turbo for shaft play. I took all my intake piping off, degreased it, my lil 14b has almost zero shaft play. I noticed my breather line from my valve cover to my intake was leaking all the sludge, I pulled the line off and blocked the intake nipple with a bolt and some RTV; I took a large pill bottle drilled a few holes for breathing near the lid and ran the breather hose thru a hole I drilled in the lid and thru a piece of pipe insulation foam(filter) and zip tied the bottle to part of my wiring harness by the CAS above my shift cables. I cleaned all of my intake except the side mount IC, and I put it all back together really, really tight. After driving I was blown away @ first, my turbo was so much louder than before and spoolup was really quick, I must have had some pretty large boost leaks (as my logs indicate)...Problem #1:a little further down the road, I'd put my foot in it, it'd spool then kinda buck a little like it's missing (my plugs are 3 week old NGK BPR6ES and my wires are the blue NGK that are 5 months old) should I change plugs anyway?

Problem #2: My idle is crap again It ranges from 1000 rpm to stalling and dieing, I put a BISS in 2 months ago and adjusted it with the timing plug grounded and my logger cable plugged in.....;did my removal of the crankcase breather from the intake as mentioned above cause this problem with my idle? Should I readjust my BISS?

Thanx in advance for the education

Kindly would some one move this to "Problem Diagnosis"?

how much boost are you making? is the stutter actually fuel cut? cause i was doing that and backed it from 18lbs to 15... problem solved. back the boost down a little... as for the idle, i couldn't tell ya =/

bucking... boost leak... checked it?

If the rest of your intake was oily you will deffinatly want to clean your IC

I'm running 10 psi. I havent done a boost leak test, I just put everything back together much tighter than it was.

bucking... boost leak... checked it?

would a hand vacuum pump work for that?

this is a follow up to this:

I built the leak tester on vfaq.com but I couldn't build any pressure in the intake so I pulled out the soapy water spray, spayed all my boost/ic fittings...was my damn J pipe gasket, there's a little brass flange that was sandwiched between the J pipe and the turbo outlet and the flange cut the gasket. I called Chrysler for a new one, they were closed called al around town for that gasket and ended up making one out of black RTV(i let it cure for 24 hrs before I boosted). Turbo is quiet again, the bucking is gone and with all my boost fitting nice and tight i think this is the best my car has ever idled
thanx tuners and VFAQ!!!
