    Is this idle surge? Video/Log

    I've read almost everything on idle surge. I have a very very small boost leak on the bov adjustment screw, but it holds air very well. 'Base timing' I checked via cam gears, and fuel pressure is 43 lbs. Throttle body was rebuilt be Steve Monroe, a reputable builder...and also a rebuilt ISC...

    'ISCposition' doesn't work while logging...?

    Well I fixed quite a few boost leaks, the only leak it has now is very very minor at the adjustment screw of the BOV. The throttle body has just been rebuilt, the ICS motor tested fine with the multimeter, as did the coil pack. I reset my fuel trims in DSMlink. I uploaded the settings offered...

    'ISCposition' doesn't work while logging...?

    Thank you for the feedback. I am trying to trace why it is randomly hesitating...and basically un-driveable at the moment. I still have a few minor minor boost leaks to fix. Here is a log with the ISCPosition sensor logged. I also will note that I did not take the ISC motor out when I probed...

    'ISCposition' doesn't work while logging...?

    It's definitely in captured values, but shows up greyed out....I put a multimeter on the contacts, they all showed variable resistance in the hundreds. I unplugged it...and it seems to run fine now, and not hesitating/almost dying every 15-20 seconds like before....going to try to contact the...

    'ISCposition' doesn't work while logging...?

    Added ISCposition to my Captured Values while doing a stream, in an attempt to properly adjust my BISS...but the value turns grey, and doesn't show any real-time changes? It doesn't show anything? I was hoping to see a "30".....I may be overlooking something very simple, and I'm sorry if that...

    Starts randomly 'missing' when it gets to operating temperature?

    Here's a quick idle log...I blipped the throttle right at the beginning because it about died. Then the rest is just idling, at operating temperature. I'm going to let it cool down, then I'll get a log from a cold start to operating temperature.

    Starts randomly 'missing' when it gets to operating temperature?

    Car idles high (2000+ rpm) while in open-loop, warming up... no sign of any issues. Then when it gets warmed up, idle drops to normal, and a random hesitation occurs (once every 20 seconds or so, it just falls on it's face for a second...recovers 95% of the time...other 5% it will die...

    Windshield wipers work, 95% of the time?

    It was the battery connection......it also started causing the car to randomly die!

    Randomly will run horrible, then be fine...

    Took off in my car the other day after I let it warm up and it started missing out really bad. Then had a friend come over and ride in it with me to see if he had any ideas, it idled horrible, then would fall on it's face while I tried to boost it, but then ran fine after that. But would still...

    Windshield wipers work, 95% of the time?

    It's been awhile since I've been on here, but I have a question that's starting to bother me, now that winter is coming around. Every once in awhile my windshield wipers will stop working on my 98' Eclipse RS. Then I'll hit some railroad tracks or a similiar "bump" in the road, and they'll...

    "What is your front license plate?" thread.

    With limited searching (to see if there was already a thread), and curiousity; I decided to see what everyone (with the exception of those who have to have a state plate, front and back) has for their front plate. I, myself, have a "Greg Biffle #16 Nascar" plate (yeah, yeah, laugh) on my...

    Smoking very badly.

    I hate to bring an old thread back. But for searching purposes, and to [RESOLVE] this. I bought a new EVO16G from ExtremePSI, my 14b had some shaft play, seals were shot....problem solved. "Thank you" to everyone who chimed in. DSM 4 life :thumb:Nick

    Oil leaking from downpipe/O2 housing connection?

    Well, you nailed it. Kind of. Let this be a lesson to all, and sure to give some people a good laugh, at my expense. But for future searchers I will explain and "take one for the team"...It dawned on me this morning as I lay awake thinking about it. When I made the gaskets for the...

    Oil leaking from downpipe/O2 housing connection?

    Just installed a 16g on my car, from a 14b.....It's smoking like crazy (priliminary start), but I noticed oil dripping from the 2 bolt connection at the o2 housing / downpipe. I torqued the bolts good, and installed a new "o" gasket, so how it's leaking, I have no clue....But why is my worry...

    Anyone tried an external voltage regulator?

    Anyone tried an external voltage regulator?

    After having replaced my alternator on my TSI after it was voltage spiking (problem solved), a few months later my 98' RS started spiking. And me, having not researched enough, decided it was my alternator. Replaced it, then learned it was embedded in the ECU on 420A's. So my question is: Has...

    Smoking very badly.

    The last couple times I've let my car sit overnight and started it in the morning, it has sometimes started smoking alittle, smelling of oil. But then it would clear up, so I figured it was valve related to some oil leaking down overnight. Well, today I started it and it smoked more than I've...

    Running aftermarket stereo on 1g alternator

    Good advice, however, you will run into problems anyways with the cheap crap reman. alternators we use. I say enjopy the music, and replace the alternators. Cause you will anyways, might as well enjoy yourself in-between times. :thumb: Just our headlights alone will kill our alternators, ask...

    Just for the record. When I let my 420A sit for a week or longer, then try to start it.....it just turns over and over, unless I push the gas pedal all the way down while turning over. I'm not sure why it does it, but I'm assuming it's because the fuel lines aren't primed and it's taking...

    I've had my current system in my Eclipse RS for a year and a half, and in my Talon for a month or so. No problems. I have a new reman. alternator in the Talon though, so we'll see if it holds up. I rarely turn it up though, like you, just mostly for music on the highway, when the chances of...

    Best radar detector for the money

    I have the Escort Passport 8500 X50 Blue. Works like a charm. The only way "instant on" will get you is if there is no one in front of you getting radar'd first. But if there is a cop radaring a mile or more in front of you, you'll know. I love mine.Edit: Cops here don't have laser, so...

    Odd stereo power issue...

    He said he measured the voltage on the acc. power and it dropped off to 9.4V-ish. Usually I would've said the same thing. Grounds are a problem half the time, especially with a high powered system. The ground is the key, just as much as the power. But since he checked the voltage and it...
