Yes it is!

I fixed it. I put in new vacuum lines. I've only got the fuel pressure regulator, boost gauge, and bov that use them. While I was there, out of curiosity, I removed my oil cap and sniffed. Sure enough, it smelled a little like fuel. As it turns out, when the previous owner did the injectors...

I've been too busy moving and working lately. I'll go to autozone today and buy fresh lines and hose clamps. I've been dailying my bike that I just got up and running.

It is fairly repeatable. I have to get my hands on another maf. Not a whole lot of dsm'ers in my area. I'll find something, though.

Cheezit033094 submitted a new DSM Profile :My 90Read more about this vehicle here...

I'll get a DSM profile going

I currently don't have the means to blt but a clogged injector would read lean, not rich. I need to find my multimeter to test my isc, injector resistor pack, and other things. If the minor stuff I've tried doesn't work, I'll unplug the o2 sensor and baby it in open loop until I can get it...

A bad isc would only affect my idle, though.

I'll check for boost leaks tomorrow morning. I find it strange that it builds boost like a champ, though

Hey guys, my 90 TSI AWD is running strange lately. She starts fine and when she warms up, she starts to idle surge between 1k and 600. When I start to go, she runs good then goes rich (12.8:1) and starts to sputter bad. Just to see, I built some boost and she boosts fine. Doesn't even sputter at...

Well i noticed one clip piece on the outer one that seemed to be kind of flat. I was going to pull the caliper and bend that around the pad some, later today.

Bwahaha.But seriously, I'm freaking out about this noise

That's kinda what I was thinking also. I didn't recall seeing a drum assembly back there lol. Just a cable and spring setup

What pad wear indicator? Lol

Hey guys, I have a very annoying, high pitched rattle coming from my rear driver side wheel hub. It starts as soon as I move and only stops when I hit the brakes. It stays when I'm coasting, cruising, accelerating, turning, or engine braking in any gear, uphill, downhill, or flat ground . when I...

This is awesome! I want to get me one now lol but in the back of my mind, I know I'm too broke.

Cycles between 89 and 101%

Ok. Ill get a stock o2 sensor and wire it all properly and have the wideband send the signal to the egr pin on the ecu.

So I got my logger in and noticed that my fuel trims never deviate from 118%. My car won't learn. O.o

I've already done the 2g maf and RC 550cc Injectors. I was fairly sure that was in my mods list. I checked the wiring multiple times and still had same issues. What's this about wiring wideband to egrt? I've got it wired to the stock o2 sensor pin in the ecu and set the wideband to p04.And...

Fullthrottle7, I haven't installed the maft. I do have the Aem uego installed and that is where I'm getting my numbers.Codym, the methanol injection is in my wishlist. The Safc messed up stuff more than anything, causing it to go extremely lean at idle, really rich on throttle, and stalling...

Ecmlink isn't in the budget atm. It was running 15lbs when I got it with a bad fuel pump and no logger/wideband. I immediately turned it down to wastegate pressure and installed my wideband. I have a gm maf and maft ready to be installed so that's how I plan on base tuning.

Hey guys, so I've been having an issue with my AFR's. My car idles and cruises at 14.7. Well really it oscillates around 14.7. When I go WOT, at 3k it goes to 16-17 and back to 14.7 at 3500. It won't go any richer than that. It will quick jump to 13.4 but doesn't stay. I just got a datalogger so...

3,4,5,7,9. I haven't gotten on it too hard yet. I'm waiting till I get my pocket logger

Nono is right lolSo it turns out that the fuel pump was sort of botched. The pieces on the end were in this order. O-Ring on top followed by cap. No spacer. I installed my 255lph and I'm waiting a few minutes for any fuel that leaked out to evaporate. You can never be too careful.She fired...

Ok. I'm pretty sure my Afpr is just an eBay special

I have a gauge that needs to be Installed. It doesn't have an lines though, so it'll be different to say the least. I'm planning on putting my walbro 255lph in today or next weekend. I'm going to ground the cts to the chassis and see if that makes any difference. If it does, then I'm going to...

I'm happy I got it for a good price. Guy wanted 100 for a 2 ton hoist with a new hydraulic cylinder. I jumped on that in a heartbeat, tore it down, threw it in the 1g, and took it home.

So I spoke too soon saying she starts great now. She occasionally starts great now. I cut the plug out and bought 1/4 inch spade connectors and wired it like that but it's still an every once in a while, it starts perfect

So, I've replaced the dipstick and cts. My car starts great now. I haven't taken her for a drive yet but I'm feeling optimistic. I did a Compression test and it's low but even. 130 psi straight across, give or take 1-2lbs.

I got that after I replied lol

My timing is spot on. I check it every time I work on my car. I'll check the cas and play with that a little bit.I love vfaq lol. I need to get my hands on a timing light for sure. My cts and dipstick should be in tomorrow morning. Then to the garage to change the clutch.

So if I smell burning after letting off, it's the valve stem seals?

Ok cool, I guess. What voltage should I make sure my tps is reading at closed and open throttle? Is it half a volt closed and 5 volts open?Or .63 closed

Thank you Phantom DSM. Which wire goes to which terminal on the cts? The plug is missing so I plan on hard wiring itIt's weird, though, because I have no check engine lights. The light works.

8. My dipstick is cracked to shit so it takes nothing to push out. I ordered one from eBay and my dipstick tube is crimped.I don't quite understand how the ect would make it run lean, though

I've checked the pcv valve and it's good. I'll see about getting a catch can setup. Plugs are good, as I just replaced them. Brp7es. I just ordered a new temp sensor.So, looking around, I noticed something a little off about my Thermostat housing.

I'm going to be completely honest. I don't know what to look for with them.

1-Upon examination of them thermostat housing, I see one of the plugs is undone and has been clipped off. The wires that are bare are black and green. That's most likely it. 7-its only immediately after pushing the engine. 8- I was under the impression that 1gs always have this issue 10- at...

I crimped it and tapped it into place. The sound has since disappeared.

Hey everybody, I'm just trying to figure out and fix all my cars issues and figured id ask for some input. I've got a 90 TSI AWD and so far my issues are as such1. Really long cranking time to cold start and sometimes long cranking time to hot start2. When I start the car when...

I thought of that too. The piece is REALLY loose lol. Pushing the brakes enough would slide it back on. I started driving with it pushed in place and as soon as I heard it, I gently came to a stop. I then got out and checked and it was off. I got back in and started driving but this time, I came...

I went and found a 2 ton hoist for 100 bucks.

Yea. Happened as soon as I started to move. Didn't matter the gear or the clutch position.

I found silicone on the guard so I'm assuming the previous owner had this problem before. The way I see it, I have 3 options 1. Cut it off 2. Silicone it back in place 3. Crimp it and tap it back in place.

So tonight, I went out and started pulling the sway bars and feeling along the driveshaft for any exhaust contact. At the base of the transfer case, I felt a loose metal piece and spun it. It was the exact sound I'd been hearing.The dust seal guard...

I'll go out tonight and pull on the sway bars. It's happening more now. It starts as soon as I start to move pushing the clutch makes no difference, as well as any gear. It stops if I push the brakes, though.
