Okay guys, finally back at this again. So the car has sat since my last post. Getting back to it now yesterday I did the water pump and put a brand new gskant alternator in it as the one I had was bad. So here's where I am now with this acceleration issue...Normal load and regular driving it...

Update, so finally got the correct check valve in today, ordered 3/8 first ended up needing the 5/16. So anyway did another boost leak test, found one and fixed that, went to go for a test drive and all of a sudden the car would start, run like 3-5 seconds, then cut off. Even when hitting the...

Just ordered 2

That is the simplest, easiest solution to what I have going on with the pcv for sure. Great suggestion guys!! I'm going to see if I can find one at my local parts store tomorrow. Going to try that, replace those loose hoses, run another BLT and do a comp test hopefully Saturday and I'll report...

Copy that I'll get on that on Saturday. But I do believe my pcv is bad, brand new but bad. Reason why that is because I can hear the air going through it when trying to do the boost leak test, then comes out the breather tube on the valve cover. Pretty sure it's definitely not supposed to do...

Okay so boost leak test went not so great. Theres a screw on the throttle body that has a small leak, there is also a leak on the fpr, I'm almost betting that's where the driveability issue is. But the bad part is I'm hearing bubbling in the engine, assuming hg is shot and air is bleeding into...

This is all fantastic info, thanks guys. I just got off work and am going to run the BLT when I get home. Although, what rabenne mentioned that I did have a funny feeling about is when I did the first BLT and fixed all the leaks before, with the VC breather hose disconnected and (new) PCV hooked...

Really good info thanks for that I'll report back after I do the test, also I'm pretty sure it has a Wally in it not sure which one, but every Wally I've ever had has a very distinct ringing humming noise. Not sure if that makes any difference.Also, since we are on the subject, oem style...

So guys I had another thread about this car that I started a while back, basically had to out this thing together from scratch, 96 gst, 98 engine and ecu. Long story short, I've gotten it running but it has very poor performance. When I take off from a stop, it begs down so bad it almost cuts...

Alright guys, still havent had time to mess with the clutch any, but I did get a few mins the other day to put the new starter on. To my surprise, started right up like it just was running the day before. Idles smooth and everything. Going to work on that clutch tomorrow, I just wanted to take a...

Okay so finally had a little time yesterday to mess with the car a little. Here what I found, the engine is not locked. I was able to turn it over with a ratchet so that's good. I did remove the starter yesterday also, going to take that to get it tested after work today.Seems like the big...

Okay so quick update, I pretty much got everything together. Ran into a couple more issues I wanted to run by you guys and see what the suggested route to go here would be.First issue, I can not get the clutch bled to save my life. I went so far as to get a new clutch master and slave...

Man you guys are on your stuff here. My old days on 2gnt, nicoclub, etc, those guys got nothing on yall. Thanks for all of the help boys.Btw, cant remember if I said this already but I had read that installing the exhaust muffler up would fix my issue with that alignment, that wawas true...

Luv2rallye, sorry about the pic size. I wont do that moving forward. The info for the generator relay, exactly what I was just about to ask so thanks for that. Last couple things and i think i should be good to go, I've been trying to source this p/s bracket, anyone have any idea where to find...

Awesome, and yes I've sourced everything engine related for a 98' that includes engine sensors and ecu, the only real issue I had is the engine harness is the one that came with the car which was a 96'. I assumed that it would be similar to a 420a swap which requires nothing, never knew that 4gs...

Awesome, dude you are the man. Went back through the edited posts and the new post you made, 100%exactly what I needed to know.Now with the generator relay, I have nothing that plugs up there. I will check again when I get home today to see but I didnt notice anything that I can plug that...

I think you are spot on with the cam angle sensor and crank sensor.The one you mentioned as the coolant level, my overflow does not have anything on it to connect to, my guess on that one would that would be the wastegate solenoid (which I do not have and am wondering if that will be an issue...

Awesome thanks for that also bro! Btw, hilarious name dude I cracked up on that for like 10mins earlier no joke

Thanks for the fast reply! I'll take a look when I get home and report back

Hey guys, I've been finding a lot of information o here that has been really helpful to me with getting this car together. Let me give you so background so you know what I have going on. So I picked up this 96' gst chassis as basically a rolling shell. This thing had apparently been parted out...

Hi guys, my name is Chris, new member on this site but not new to Dsm's by any means. Was a regular on 2gnt for a very long time before I got out of the game, now I'm back with a 96 GST that I'm working on making my new daily.Got a few questions about some things I'll be asking later after I...
