i am open to everything so i guess ill take a peek in there tomorrow. i think the biggest clue is the wideband going lean then --- when it hits 4500 and bucks. lets me know its not getting fuel, correct?
what should be logged when i do a log? i don't know what i would be looking for, ignition breakup?also, i had my alternator tested and it came back as 13.64 NOT under a load AND 13.6 under a load, heat on high, lights and highbeams on, rear defrost on. i thought it was a voltage problem
i have changed multiple plugs, two coil packs (one from a running and driving DSM.), i have changed wires as well.
pressure on the rail is fine BUT i have noticed when i turn the car off i do lose pressure. pressure drops slowly but fast enough you can watch it drop on the needle.no codes, no...
i've recently replaced the head and put cams in it. when i went through the head nothing looked out of the ordinary.
did your car do that all the time? or here and there. this problem comes and goes,mainly stays though.
i don't go on here much since i have learned to use the search function and usually find all my answers. but this new problem has me stumped. right now while driving the car wont go past 4500rpms. it bucks really bad and the wideband pegs lean. every now and then the car will make a pull to...
What's up guys (and gals) I recently bought a 1997 Eclipse spyder this is AWD swapped. Super clean rust free car. Currently the car has no spark. I have the stock 1997 ecu, a 1995 EPROM and a AEM series 2. I have tried 2 stock coils and a coil on plug setup. Car has a evo 9 CAS, I've also tried...
As crazy as this will sound I fixed the problem. My "full" exhaust must've been
Holding me back big time. I borrowed from a buddy his fabbed up bumper exit exhaust.
Not only does the car run better then I've ever seen it, but a log shows proof.
Unfortunately I'm now maxed on my injectors. I...
Did BLT tests and came up good. Running bp7es gapped from .020-.028
It's a Evo 8 map. Anything over 15 psi she breaks up but no knock.
I'm getting tuned tonight. I'll log and post it
I have went through MULTIPLE sets of plugs. Gaps ranging from .020-.028 heat range from 6-8
I've tried a different MAF, CAS, wires,coils,igniter(power transistor)
So far I haven't been able to track down the problem. I'm told its ignition related
But don't know what else to try. Since its a 97...
I have a 97 gst with a 95 ecu and a 1g cas.
I swapped my wires around but didn't swap Injector wires.
Question is, do I have to? I have another thread about my car breaking
Up on WOT and the problem is still here.
Well I took the tune and tossed it out the window. Uploaded
The evo 8 base tables. Did a few pulls off that and I'm now running
Over 20psi. I just installed my new wideband today so sometime
Soon I'll be doing some pulls and hopefully get it tuned better.
I don't touch the tuning aspect of my car.. I'll admit I am not
100% familiar with everything to go in and start adjusting.
I can do the basics. Are you suggesting I have some one
Take a second look at how the "tune" is? At this point
The way I see it is, It is what It is. If something is up...
I actually changed exhaust gaskets, down pipe gasket before
I went to get tuned. Althought this seems like many different issuesim new to Ecmlink and normally leave all the tuning to the guys who know what they are doing. but i did a log today so you guys can take a peek.i think i've...
Well I woke up this morning and went to advance auto and picked up some ngk8's.
The ride to the store on 19 psi was still breaking up. I pulled the old plugs and threw in the
8's gapped at .25, immediately took it for a pull on the highway.
Did a hand full of 3rd gear pulls and everything...
I am not familiar with the "igniter".. Explain? As for the alternator belt I'll give it a few turns for the tight. At this point I'm trying anything!nvm, read more into "ignitor" and found its the transistor. I've changed that already. All parts were off a running non issue having 2g
Did a boost leak test before we left to tune. No leaks, tested to 25psi. Mods are in my profile.
Turbo was just rebuilt. If we lower the boost it seems to even itself out. My friend said the tune is not the problem, it's something ignition related. I'm open to any suggestions but I've expressed...
Brought my car to a friend to get tuned and ran into some problems.
Running 19psi doing 3rd gear pulls the car is breaking up under WOT.
If I use half throttle or less it'll make a clean pull.
Tried swapping coils, power transistor, fresh plugs (ngk6's), wires, MAF
When we swapped wires the...
Was anything "removed" and "re-located" under the fenderwell?
I've seen people put the fuse box under there and run into problems.
Fire,clicking noise, hissing(wires burning)
Thanks for all the replies. I just got off work and I'm ready To go
Find my ecu. I'll post what I find when I locate it.
Car has two step/launch control. Is that a dead giveaway it was tuned
With dsmlink?After many cus words and some "search button" abuse
I finally got the ecu out. It's a...
I'll have to check the ecu. I was told its a 98' flashable ecu.
It's on 20psi right now. As far as internals Im not aware of any. "rebuilt" head and "6xxx" miles on rebuilt block. Bought the car used.
Sorry guys looks like I have some updating to do. This is a new car Not my last 93 tsi.
I would assume if I list the mods you guys could send me in the right direction?Precision 6262 turbo
Obx tubular headers
Intake, hard piping to a FMIC
Tial 44mm external waste gate
Full turbo back exhaust...
I just picked up a 97 gst wit a 6 bolt swap. Currently has 650 FIC injectors.
Some people have told me those are tooooo small for my setup.
How do I determine if my injectors are too small?
Well my car is 100% Original/stockI know one kid from this site who could give me a hand.Thanks for letting me post in this thread and not catch crap about it.And thanks for the info!!
i have a 93 talon tsi. I've noticed some significant oil on my belt.
Would it be a good idea to replace it? Is this something i can do myself?I see someone said "600$" to replace.I'm very new to the dsm world. I only know as much as i've read and what VFAQS.com has told me.
Don't wanna come in here and take the spotlight!But i'm curious what kind of task it would be to change the control arm bushings
in my 1993 talon tsi awd.Mine are pretty shot as well.
Mark me down, i'm in sullivan county.I have an all stock 93 tsi, But hey it's still a dsm!I've been down to Middletown by the old mall.But never really see any dsms.
Theres a kid who lives realy close to me with a sick 91 talon.
Alright, well i'm going to go out and check if the Hose coming off the actuator is going to a boost source, If it is just laying there not connected, i would have to connect it i would assume.Now if i take the acuator rod off the waste gate flap should i be able to open the flap by hand...
Yeah, well a big problem could be the waste gate?! If it's not opening and its over boosting
And its not getting the right amount of fuel, could it be a fuel cut? or the ecu retarding the timing?i'm going to change the oil and oil filter, new plugs,wires.
What oil should i use? takes 5...
Well the valve cover itself might be Bad, Someone Jb welded a bolt in it.
standing infront of the car closest to you and all the way to the bottom right next to
the cam gears theres a bolt thats jb welded, matter of fact its the bolt that holds the
two plug wire clip in.
Also with the cam...
Hi. I'm new to this site.Actually new to the DSM world.Start off with my Story.Traded my 87 Nissan 300zx for a 1993 Eagle Talon TSi AWD.But the Talon has some issuses. I've done alot of research on this car
And the problems i have seem Typical.it's a really clean 140thousand...
