This is an old thread. Cars been runnin great for months.

Ok, I'm. Not exactly sure what your doing here, but here is an easy solution that I used on my talon. Fused. Power wire from battery to relay. Using 10ga wire. Then from the relay to the fan. Ground the relay. Your switch should be fed from an ign wire. I used the ign wire from my radio as...

Have you checked the clutch bearing in the pedal assembly? If that is worn all the adjustments in the world are not going to help. Bleed your clutch, adjust your clutch pedal, and if still not working, I would assume its the pedal assembly itself.

I always get 13.6v at the relay output

Yeah, I have a minor leak at the shaft seal on the throttle linkage, but not that big of a leak, waiting on the new seals to come in to rebuild the TB. Other than that, it am running a GM maf right at the TB. And it doesnt leak until I get to about 28-30psi and only push 18-22psi boost. I...

How would the tuning issue show up in a mechanically adjusted fuel pressure and drop that base pressure? thats where im stuck at. Runs great thru all temp ranges, just after a 15-20min drive, the mechanical pressure is lower. instead of being its normal nominal pressure it drops. Then if I...

The ecu doesn't look great, but the problem your describing sounds like a bad MAF. Is everything wired up correctly?

Ok, so im having the strangest fueling issue I have ever seen, and interested if someone else has had a similar problem and can help me figure out what it it. Basically my fuel pressure is dropping after a longer drive. Base pressure is set at 42psi with vac disconnected on an A1000 afpr...

Check your grounds and wires. I know a lot of vehicles run constant power to the injectors and they fire by grounding them. I will bet either your ecu. Took a crap or you have a bad ground somewhere or a broken wire. Having power at the injectors is only half the battle, take a dvom and check...

Log In | FacebookThis is a FB group for chicago DSM guys. Im sure someone in there would know, or even could do it themselves for a fair price.

There are no C clips holding these injectors into the rail, and putting pressure to the rail without it bolted in place is simply dangerous. If you want to do that, by all means, please do. But its a lot easier to test each injector by simply using a hand pump/electric pump, a length of hose...

Ok, 2 days ago you replaced the pump. Then it stalled and has not started since? Pull your pump back out and make sure something didn't come loose. Next, for idiots trying to test their injectors in the rail like that, I hope you burn your car to the ground being that careless. Take the...

I think we need a picture of what's broken, because a head stud needs some serious torque to snap off in the block, and as stated, how would you snap a mani bolt off into an aluminum head? Next, why are you seeing head. Studs when your. Doing an exhaust job? I mean most of us have the head...

Your best solution for. Keeping batteries healthy in my experience is to keep an eye on your alt. If your alt goes out for any reason, your battery tends to follow soon there after in my experiences. As for optima's I have been told they are really not all they are. Cracked up to be for a...

Have you tried disconnecting the vac line from the FPR and testing it the correct way? You are supposed to set your base line fuel pressure with the vac line disconnected and plugged ( or just clamped off like most)

I doubt the arm came off, Which is the only thing that would be disconnected. Like said above, you probably just need to put some lithium grease in there and work the pivot balls a bit.

Pictures tell a thousand words. The POD thing your talking about is likely a catch can. But since you need both vac and pressure to evac your crank case. The oil in your turbo can be from many places, it could simply be a seal going out in your turbo. There is a lot, and pictures would...

EBAY has the adapters themselves. They bolt into the stock location and have a -6an output. I have one on my car, and aside from putting a better O-ring on it when I got it, I have not had a problem. My FPR is mounted on the strut tower on my 1g, but the firewall is the best location for...

Ok, so I apparently fixed the short that had been in my car by repairing some ground points. However when I tested my car for shorts with only the normal components hooked up my test light did not light up when testing between the neg battery terminal and the neg battery cable with the cable...

Another thing I do when I bag and tag is to use some wire and tie the bag to the part on items like say exhaust mani bolts/studs nuts and washers. same with intake and what not. You can bag em, then use zip ties or some tie wire. I have used the wire many times. Baby food jars also work...

Personally I use a few different techniques. I will bag and tag ones I cannot put back into place after I remove them. Other times on things that smaller and I just need to organize them, I will use empty egg cartons to separate bolts in a short term. You can simply number them and write down...

It could be a million and one things. Check your grounds, and check for power everywhere. Replace all the fuses, as i have had fuses that look great, but were blown. It sounds like you have a missing ground somewhere tho.

Have you checked all the bolts on the PS pump? Make sure one has not backed out and is hitting the pulley. Especially if you have recently changed belts or anything like that. That would be my first place to look. Then use a mechanics stethescope to listen to the PS pump after. And verify...

Pull your valve cover and rotate the engine by hand. Watch all the valves and make sure they are closing all the way. If you are rotating it by hand and you feel it hang up at all, dont force it. if you pull your spark plugs you will not build compression and it will be much easier to rotate...

Also check for the bearing in your clutch pedal to show signs of slop or wear?

Why would you need a 255 in a 420a? A 155lph would have ###### have been more than enough for you. a 255lph is what im running in my turbo car, why would you think you would need that kinda volume of fuel in your NA? The violent shaking is likely because your getting fuel to pool on the...

I would think your ECU would come preprogrammed. Unless you have some sort of EPROM chip in your current ECU. Pull your ECU and see if the caps are bad, or anything like that. you can repair the ECU cheaper than replace it more than likely.

Yes, you can simply drop the trans. I have only done it on AWD models, but I would think the FWD ones are a bit easier. Im sure your first time you will have a ton of screaming and headaches, but once you get it out and in a couple times, they really aren't to bad.

Obviously you guys were not paying attention to his statement. A fried alt will not keep you from JUMPING the car. and unless you have no alt in there at all, your bad alt is likely still putting out some power still. Which is likely enough to keep the minimal items needed powered enough to...

A toasted alt will not matter when jumping it. Your jumping it from another power supply. The old trick. Of pulling the ground while the car is running. Does not apply to cars with an ecu. Its a good way to damage electronics.. as stated in another thread here, pull your neg and test for...

I had everything setup like your pic with the exception of 1920bps, and 02 non lin was checked. Everything else was the same. It was odd that the EGRt showed up in the excel format and not the WBO2. WBO2 shows up on the logger itself. I have an LC-1 setup to read both the analog and the...

This is clearly a slave or master issue. It could also be the clutch pedal assembly needing repair too. However, the torn dust boot on the slave and leaking fluid, is easy enough to diagnose. Jack the car up, have someone push the clutch in and hold it. While its in, if you see that slave...

I had that problem with my car when I had the dip switch in the wrong setting. Had a 2g tune with my 2g maf and when i put the gm maf on I set it for 1g. Bucked like a rodeo bronco. Flipped the switch, ran smooth as a top. I would check that. i think its switch 1 of the 4 as stated above...

Ok I will try and send it to you today when I get home from work.Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using Tapatalklooks like I finally got it to load.For some reason the wideband is showing up as a EGRt and in deg on here, but on the logger its WBO2. Its ran thru pin 15 for egr for logging.961 is...

Its also not a bottom end issue. The entire motor has been gone thru. Everything is tight and within spec. Oil pressure is good, and bearings are in pretty decent condition. I have been told is more likely something loose on the block. Like a bracket that isn't tight or the exhaust leak...

The target afr is 11.0. So that's on target. Its not a heat soaked side mount either. I. Have a fmic with 2.5in pipes that is doing a pretty good job of cooling my intake charge. The exhaust leak isn't something I can simply just fix at this point. A repair on it is going to require a new...

well I only see what the logger shows me. Completely off the throttle coming to a stop it will go to about 8.4-8.7 afr. I know thats not ideal to say the least. but its only when im off throttle and my injectors are off. when duty is 0. Say when coming to a stop.Take for instance a hard...

I have been trying to figure out how to get the files changed to the csv, or excel files, but my computer is not cooperating. I do have the pdf files, but they keep saying invalid files when I try to upload in advanced. any advice on how to fix this so i can post. A few local people seem to...

I am working on uploading all the logs right now. Its being difficult. But no it was not a mistype. the logger after driving around the block the other day showed 8.5 afr at an idle, but as soon as I would give it a little fuel, it would go back to 11.1- 11.0 I am working on getting some...

Im intending to do something like this to my 91 TSi, except im doing away with the pop ups completely and going to model a set of projectors to sit in the opening and some LED's for turn signals as opposed to the bulbs that are OEM on the car. I am hoping to get some cool results out of it, but...

Ok, so I have been having a ton of issues with my talon and knocking. My mechanical timing is correct, my belt isnt in bad shape and within spec, and everything runs ok at idle. While logging with my MMcD I keep experiencing knock, and its never the same twice. Meaning the conditions like...

Also check for things like exhaust leaks and such. Loose bolts can cause it too. I am getting much worse knock conditions in my 1g upwards of 30 counts, but its nothing to do with internal detonation. I have an exhaust leak at the mani, and we believe that is causing it. I have seen many...

No heat shields, and the PS pump is not leaking, I have checked multiple times. I am thinking about making up a heat shield for the DP and seeing if that helps, or atleast wrapping it with some thermo wrap.

Do u know anything about 1g's in that situation? I know my ECU is good, caps are recently replaced, and it has been gone over very well. It is a chipped Eprom in my case. My alt really seems to drop voltage in traffic BAD. Even with a different ALT. I have used 3 total now. all have the...

I would do a compression and leak down test. What is your reason for the BLT? Poor performance? Upgrades?

Im going to test that theory there. Mine is specifically a bolt on car. Turbo, injectors, AFPR, 255lph wally, FMIC, pipes, bov, gm maf, maft, and a wide band 3" turbo back exhaust and a 2g exhaust mani. eprom with a chip is my tuning source. No cams and using an AUTO with stock intake. My...

I have had a very similar issue with my 91 talon. Replaced the ALT after the voltage started dropping while sitting in traffic one evening. No battery light came up at all, even when my voltage hit 10v. I then pulled over into a parking lot and shut the car down. Replaced the alt the next...

Will, bad troll, go sit in the corner. Stock valve or oversized are not going to matter with the head off the motor. Don't worry about getting hp ratings before your engine is together. This seems like a pointless trolling of a threadSent from my T-Mobile G2 using Tapatalk

Is the bearing in the clutch peddle good? There is a bearing inside it that wears out from time to time. And from my readings and previous experiences, it will not allow the master cylinder to be depressed all the way, and will not allow you to get into gear properly.Sent from my T-Mobile G2...
