For anyone interested, this is what I found.Timing belt was so loose I could have pulled it off by hand, if the lower timing cover wasn't there.Intake valves made contact.Current plans are Eagle/Wiseco/ACL bearings. Hopefully get away with a hone and not bore.I have 2 spare heads from...

Ahh at least I know what's going on now!I rebuilt that motor when I was 18 about 14 years ago. I used a cheap rebuild kit that was $80 with King bearings, eve piston rings and some cheap ass gaskets. (From advice of someone helping me).Its been bothering me, especially since the rest of the...

Interesting compression results...#1 ~165 #2 - 0 #3 ~ 155 #4 - 0You can hear the compression difference in cranking when the tester was in a good cylinder.I reckon I'll dig out my leak down tester out of storage before ripping into it.

Strong, equal spark on all 4.I did notice it looks like some oil is dripping from cyl #4 exhaust manifold. Going to do a compression check this weekend to rule that out

I'll have to wait for a buddy to check for spark.I did the two ohm tests for the coil pack which passed. I also swapped plug wires, and reset the ecmlink settings and fpr for 37 psi. No change.Will update when I have a helper to verify sparkAlso, 2g MAF is unhacked, and I verified...

I'll set it back to 37 this afternoon on ECM and on the FPR.I believe it's an unhacked 2g MAF but I can verify that.I still need to OHM out the coil pack and I'll try swapping plug wires as well with another set. I'll see if I can do that on lunch

Here's a video of trying to start first thing this morning. No gas applied just key. After the first hiccup it'll just crank unless I flutter gas pedal it will do that again like it wants to start.I suspect that what ever made the car run funky 2 years ago when I parked it is also what is...

I used the ECMLink calculator for the fuel setting and dead time from the injector info chart. What should 950s be set at for global? For some reason it was at 71% when I plugged the laptop in.I can take some engine pics. I replaced the plugs right before that log. They were indeed fowled...

Hey guys, about 2 years ago I was in the process of tuning my car. Went through all the basic ECMLink testing stuff making sure it was mechanically sound, no boost leaks etc.Had the car close loop tuned and was beginning on open loop, when one day it started running poorly out of nowhere and I...

I keep seeing fuse 19 controls interior lights as well as back up power to ECU maybe check that. Its an inside the cab fuse drivers side

if you have dsm/ecmlink you can use that to "ground" the connector as well. Theres justt barely enough room to shoot the light from the top. Down to In between the timing covers and the body. It's the lower cover marks near the crank pulley.if your gun is adjustable. set to 5 degrees and you...

I've been learning how to use the auto set functions for maf in closed loop. I've got the car running solid at idle.Fuel trims are around 0%. My adjustment 70% tho starting outThat **insert angry words** plug is still leaking. I used permatex "thread sealer" and tightened it with a foot...

lmao didnt see that! it was on the right under latest posts for some reason :P

Does it do this at idle? Like say you start it in neutral, havent touched gas at all yet, then push the clutch. Does it still rev up??
