i think the pedal is fine. it grabs about halfway through. Feels normal to me.

recently replaced the slave cylinder so i know thats good. The car will go into gear with the engine off yes. I did visually inspect the shift cables, i tried moving the shifter thing under the hood with my hand and it seemed to click into gear properly and firmly. I dont really know what to...

Recently my 3rd gear has been acting up. It has always been sort of "crunchy" especially when shifting hard from second to 3rd at high rps and boost. The other day i did a pull in second then shifted into 3rd and thought all was good until i got back on the gas and the engine just revved as if i...

update: haven't done much testing since this post aside from spraying carb cleaner around the throttle body/ intake manifold; Nothing happened. but, i recently noticed a small leak in the welds on my exhaust manifold. So i am wondering if you guys think that this could be the issue. I will be...

touching that thing is what led me to create my original "I broke my car" post lolol. i tried adjusting it before to fix this problem and for some reason it completely ruined it and i could not get it to run at all after. after adjusting it i got the idle down but then it would just stall out on...

yes they appear to be both still connected. however as i stated above the other lines running to the top of the TB have been removed

if you mean the 3 prong connectors on the top then no. they have been removed and blocked off. Curious why someone would do this?

Update: i got the car running and have been daily driving it since. I ended up taking it to a shop where it sat for a week. The guy told me to order a new TB so i did. While waiting for it to arrive he ended up getting it going. He didnt exactly explain what was wrong with it.. but he got it...

thanks for the reply buddy! appreciate it. And yea good idea , ill get on that

Hey guys ive been trying to fix this idle issue. My car has been idling funny since ive gotten it. I took out the iac valve, cleaned it and it sort of fixed it for a little while although it still idled high. Now its back to how it was but even a bit worse. The idle is not consistent at all and...

Just got my used throttle body in. Been having idle issues such as high throttle and sometimes stalling or almost stalling after I Rev it up. Also it's just been very inconsistent.So I took off the IAC off of my new (to me) TB and put it in. After this I thought I would test the old one to...

update: just went to check out the pedal its self and there is clutch fluid all over my carpet. leaking from the master cylinder.

did a pull yesterday at higher boost than usual, (16 g turbo) around 18 psi, went to shift into 3rd after hitting close to redline , and i missed 3rd. I couldnt get it in gear for whatever reason (3rd gear is a little crunchy in my car) so i coasted a little ways then revved back up and tried...

I would love the buy this off you my man! Are the TPS and ISC still attached?

4g63 sorry forgot to mention that

Title says it all. Anyone know where i can order one to canada?

i dont have the equipment for a compression test. Maybe i can tow it to a shop and get them to check. Do you think it could be something else? what could i have broken by adjusting the biss screw?

how did you fix it? Still cant get it to start. Checked the plugs and saw that they were filthy. Covered in black carbon build up. I thought i may have flooded it. took them out and gonna let it air out and replace them tomorrow hopefully.

it turns over and does not start

just got the new biss screw. Put it in all the way then dialed back two turns. Still wont start. it tries and sounds like it is just about to turn over but doesnt. The check engine light blinks/flashes whilst its trying to start. Any advice guys? really need this thing running

thanks for all the help and advice boys. Im trying to find a place that ships to canada to order a new screw. I will be following kryndons advice in the mean time. I appreciate you all! This is the last time i do something like this without proper knowledge

do you think thats what happened? the other guy said it shouldnt have fallen in, plus if it did its plastic so maybe it wouldnt do much ?

but now it just wont even start..

i got it running that way a few times. the last after loosening the screw i got it running with gas input. Then it ran while sputtering pretty bad and died.

okay this is good news. Never the less, the screw is now missing. Will the car not run or start without it? i find it hard to believe that its not starting anymore because of the screw missing,, i feel like it should still start and run

would the car start and run with no biss screw?

cant order it because im in canada

so the screw either popped out or got sucked in the engine... just went out and tried again, loosened the screw all the way. tried and it started and sputtered then died. Got out to look at the screw and it was gone... completely so it either fell into pieces and got sucked in while trying to...

yes i do have a wideband. i just went out and tried again, turned the screw down as much as i could and tried started it. It ran while sputtering for a while until it stalled out and then didnt start again.. the screw is definitely not creating a tight seal anymore.. i managed to actually grind...

idek what ecm link is, ill look into it...god i think i got in over my head with this car, It wont even start.. im so scared that a piece of that screw got sucked into the engine while i was adjusting it.. Does this sound like a possibility to you? the screw is now broken and im not sure if...

first post here. completely new to the dsm world. Perhaps stupidly i bought a heavily modified 2g talon tsi. It has a huge list of parts that have been installed including bigger turbo, cams, forged internals, injectors to name a few. Long story short the car was idling high when i received it...
