    So is it me or?

    My car does the same thing. It is designed that way so that when you are driving over bumps your fuel gauge doesn't bounce around with the fuel in the tank sloshing around.

    dieseling during shutdown.

    Pull the fuel rail and make sure you are not having an injector leaking fuel. If so, you can narrow it down visually.

    Turbo going bad...

    You can also look into the 16gEvo3 turbo.

    BOV Flutter question VIDEO

    I would do a bosst leak test and test drive it again.

    You can leave them all unhooked. They are just emissions hoses.

    Boost Gauge and what else?

    I use my zeitronix wideband and love it.

    isc o-ring

    You can also get a metric o-ring a Napa.

    heat only works when driving

    Try flushing out your heater core. If it is plugged up you will experience the problems that you are referring to.

    No Fuel At Injectors

    If you're not getting any fuel spray from the injectors I would try swapping the ECU to verify you have injector pulse.

    odd fuel gauge issue

    While you have the fuel pump assembly out, let the float arm hang and see if your fuel gauge reads empty. If it doesn't, move the float by hand to see when the fuel gauge starts to move. It could be the needle on the gauge itself or the fuel level sending unit. Make sure the ignition is in the...

    Spyder Coolant in cylinder 1

    I agree. You need to replace the head gasket and check the head for surface flatness.

    Car grinding problem, lasts a while until it warmups...

    It may be the input shaft on the transmission or a bearing inside that is failing.

    Dead miss

    You may also have an ignition problem. Cold start problems are also associated with spark plug cables that are arcing with moisture on them and once the car warms up, the moisture is gone so the miss goes away. I would try to diagnosis the car when it is missing to eliminate things. You could...

    Not goin into third gear easily

    It sounds like something inside the transmission is binding up not allowing you to get into 3rd gear. My guess would be that you have a cracked synchronizer blocker ring on third gear. Also check your fluid level and condition to get an idea of what shape the internals of the transmission are.

    Umm... Is this junk in my ecu normal?

    Yeah definitely not NORMAL! I bet the caps are leaking for sure and he covered it up. Send that ECU back and get your money back if you can. By the way great job on my ECU Steve, car runs great and fires on all 4's!

    Major Clutch/Belt question help :[

    I would just replace the slave cylinder then bleed and re-check the system. Trying to rebuild those really isn't cost effective.

    put a turbo on my n/t 90 laser rs but now it cant idle

    I would recommend getting all of the parts listed above and running the additional wiring onto the existing wiring harness. I hope that you are up for the challenge.Good Luck.

    Low injector duty? Lots of boost but no go, Turbine GLOWING! Lean anyone?

    I think that your biggest problem as it was already stated is HUGE Phantom knock... Check your wiring for your knock sensor, check and set base timing at 5 degrees BTDC with timing connector grounded, Check your mechanical timing, Cams etc... Also check and see if you are knocking at idle...

    Zeitronix Logging/EGT Issues

    Just incase anyone finds this thread in a search. I needed to add drivers to my computer for the serial to USB cord I was using and then change what COM port zeitronix uses. I also found out that a 392 constant display by the EGT means that the zeitronix module isn't getting a EGT signal from...

    motor tapping "im dumb founded"

    You can try adding ATF 4 (Automatic Trans Fluid) to the oil and see if it helps at all. There are alot of detergents in it! The best way to get rid of that is replace the lifters with the revised 3G lifters.

    Noise coming from strut assembly. VIDEOS

    I think that the upper strut mount is 40418 in your diagram

    burning oil =( need oil change.. ?

    Your low oil pressure could be from bearing clearances, oil pump, etc. If you're burning oil it could be piston rings, valve seals, etc. Depending on how much oil you are burning I wouldn't worry about that as much as I would about oil pressure. You might end up finding out an engine rebuild...

    possible walbro 255 fuel pump failure

    If you apply power and ground directly to the pump and it doesn't turn on then the pump is open. (Bad Fuel Pump). Make sure you have your powers and grounds where you should through out your wiring incase something caused the pump to short out and you don't ruin another pump.

    Turbo Boost Creep Creeping T25 14B 16G [Merged]

    I have a 16G evo III and had the same problem. I ordered the 34mm flapper from Slowboy,ported the wastegate hole, ported the inlet, and it works great. I also ported behind the flapper arm and made sure that my 02 housing wouldn't stop the arm from opening all the way. You just have to take your...

    Zeitronix Logging/EGT Issues

    I can't get my computer to log anything with the zeitronix AFR setup. My computer does not have a serial port connection so I purchased a USB adapter cable. When I hook up my USB cable from the black box to my Toshiba Laptop it recognizes new hardware.(I have windows XP) It tries to look for...

    missfire when cold

    Did you ever figure out what was causing your problem? I am having the exact same issue.

    Too cold for car to start? dropping fuel pressure?

    Glad you got it fixed. Your MPI relay is probably what you herd clicking. The ECU was probably reseting itself causing the MPI relay to also reset.

    Stalling when motor is cold

    I'm having the same type of problem. Let me know if you figure anything out. Thanks

    Too cold for car to start? dropping fuel pressure?

    Maybe this will help. It's straight from the service manual... Start engine and run at curb idle speed. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the pressure regulator and clog the vacuum hose end. Measure the fuel pressure. (Non-turbo 47-50 psi at curb idle) (Turbo- M/T 36-38 psi at curb idle) (Turbo-...

    MissFire Cold Weather Only?

    Yeah about that miss at about 6k... It turns out that my 16G Evo III is boost creeping up to about 22psi. I am going to either port the exhaust inlet side of the turbo and go with a 34mm flapper or just go with an external waste gate and weld the internal shut.
  31. Dsm78

    MissFire Cold Weather Only?

    It is still possible that you are hitting fuel cut. The air is denser when it is cold and you will pull more air. I have that problem with my car @ about 6k and 16psi but hopefully a fuel pump rewire will help.
