In case anyone is following along, an update, decided the only thing I didn't check was boost leak. Found a pretty significant leak at my PCV valve, Just a reminder to anyone trouble shooting to always go back and boost leak test. Ordered a new PCV, will update once that is replaced.
So been meaning to post an update.
As mentioned above, I had a heat issue I wanted to investigate. So I started with trying to verify the coolant system had enough coolant. I started the car with the radiator cap off, let it get warmed up and add any fluid if needed. While I was standing in...
Not sure if I should start a new thread, but have had the car out for a few short trips around he block. This past Friday, it felt good enough for a ~10min drive. Logs attached.1)I think I have a heat problem(223 degrees?), car was pushing coolant out of the overflow container. I will...
The car seems to be running as smooth as it has in a very long time, I will adjust the maf comp as described and work on the dead time.After a few short trips around the block I will report back. Probably this weekend.Thanks again!
I don't mean to frustrate anyone, sorry. Thank you for the feedback, I zero'd out the MAF as you recommended, logs attached:
-02 warmup deadtime @ 540(~7min),
-05 deadtime @495(~3min),
-06 deadtime @ 480(~lile over a min)
I have read over the fuel trim updates previously and again today.
My...
Thanks for all the ideas!So I adjusted the sliders and started the car up again. Car seemed to act very similar, but the log shows it seems to have been stuck in open loop mode to start (odd, not sure what causes this but I will investigate/research), then kicked into closed loop and the O2...
working on getting everything running correctly at idle. I took a log on Saturday (attached, 04.24-03) and my O2 sensor seems to be cycling quite normally. After the log, I did the "MAFComp adjust (combinedFT)", adjusted the sliders to the suggested values, then wrote to ECU and closed it up...
Just looking for some opinions, First the issue, my temp is slowly rising. I have attached an image of my temp logged every 30 seconds for a 17 min cruise.The temp log was taken driving around roads where I was driving between 20-40 M.P.H, but mostly cruising around 30(neighborhood).My...
thanks for the replys guys.I was following the instructions for checking timing found in the tech articles:
http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/articles-engine-fuel/306607-1g-2g-quick-timing-belt-alignment-check.htmlI think I will just pop it off/back on and see if that fixes things...
From the Photos:
Image 1: I lined the timing marks up so they were all at 9'Oclock and 3'Oclock.
Image 2: Picture of the harmonic balancer and timing mark when pic 1 was takenImage 3: I made sure cylinder#1 was at TDC and you can see the timing marks are off by 1-3 teeth
Image 4: Picture...
So I was doing some reading on here about wastegates not fully closing, and I realised I never put the valve seat in when I was installing my external wastegate :ohdamn:So I just went and installed it and took another quick run, my 3rd gear pull is posted, let me know if this is looking more...
I actually work in bentleyville, I work in the altavista business park.....The exhaust housing is brand new FP manifold, but I will look it over, thanks.......
Good call, I will update this, but how much of a difference will this make? Do you think this has anything to do with the wired boost characteristics I'm seeing?Thanks,
RyNo
oh man, I looks like I messed up the attachment, Try#2.I have done a boost leak test recently up to 20 psi, looked good.How would I tell if the wastegate was stuck open at all?
