I drove the car around and then let it sit over night. I tried to start the car today and I needed starter fluid again. I put the starting fluid in and the car fired up and died...I just kept turning it over and it started up. After it initially gets started the car starts fine for while but...
The car RUNS! I sprayed two sprays of starting fluid in the throttle body and the car started right up. Just got back from the gas station and got a tank full of fresh gas.My question is though why did I need starter fluid to fire up the car? Is this an issue I should look in to?
I didn't take the old gas out but I had about 1/8 a tank in it when the car started to sit and just today i put 3 gallons of fresh gas in it with a quarter of bottle of dry gas and still wont fire up.Any reason why I am getting gas on my spark plugs even though they spark outside the cylinder?
Checked the spark and it is fine and when I pulled the plugs the ends of them were wet with gas so I guess it is getting fuel. I can smell gas when I keep trying to turn it over. It is weird, if I try to start it and then take the key out and try again it sounds like its trying to fire...
The last time I started up my car was over the summer, about 6-7 months ago. I went away to school and the car sat in my driveway. Yesterday I tried to start the car (got a new battery) and it cranks over but doesn't try to fire up. If I don't try to start up the car for a min or two the car...
Alright so I have had this problem with blue smoke coming out of my exhaust when I am decelerating. I have replaced the block 360 miles ago, the head was replaced 2k miles ago, and turbo was rebuilt like 20 miles ago. The car starts right up and drives fine but if I get on the boost and...
I just did a leak down test and the results were perfect which is a relief that my new motor and head isn't shot. I got around 8%- leakdown in all the cylinders which is supposedly normal and definitely not enough to smoke like it is.I brought my car to a local place after the test to see...
The block was bored and honed and used new eagle rods, brand new crank, ross pistons and rings, the works.I do not see smoke under any boost or dip stick popping, the smoke is only after I boost. My pcv valve is not hooked to anything there is just a vacum hose hanging off it and the breather...
I never touched the pcv so that could be an issue...i think everything but the pcv could have been replaced. Would that cause just the smoke on decel after boost? I know I dont have a catch can or anything because where the pcv valve is just a hose going no where and off the side of the valve...
New MLS head gasket and everything was replaced on the turbo by a shop so I don't see it being the turbo seals because I think the oil is burning before the turbo.Any other ideas?

Yea thanks man, that is what I was thinking. Once he said he recommended a new harness I told him I was picking up the car. I figure if the harness is in good enough condition for the car to run then there is no reason to rip everything apart and re do it.If there is no wires leading to...
Alright so I brought my car to a shop to have them check out everything after my year long build and fix little things I left undone because of time restraints. Well the owner before me had AEM EMS in it and it seems they cut some wires to sensors. The guy working on my car suggested an entire...
8.3:1 compression but if the seals are bad in the third cylinder it would cause the compression test to show 110 right?? I am just trying to make sure nothing is wrong with my brand new block...
Alright compression test... 150-150-110-150The valve seals would mess up the compression numbers right? So are just the seals in the third cylinder shot?Wouldn't the seals leak more when the car is cold??And it is blueish smoke
Alright I got a brand new block .020 over, je pistons, eagle rods, new crank bearings everything. I took my head to a local shop to look it over and they said everything is good just throw it on your new block. So i put everything together and now I have 250 miles on the motor and I have...
I see alot of NJ people are responding here so I am throwing this out there...does anyone have an extra arp washer for 1g head studs??? I need one by tomorrow, Thanks
Wow I didnt know you guys could diagnose so well with such shitty pictures:thumb: Well sorry I didn't get to post more pics because the digital camara is dead and the girl friend lost the charger. Anyways so you guys think I can just hone the block and not bore it because it is already .020...
Thanks guys for the fast responses! I will post a lot more pics up tomorrow when I get out of work...All i know right now because it is too late to go look now is the motor was built by the previous owner apparently like 5k miles ago and he did say it had wiesco pistons in it.
Alright I just tore apart my motor to rebuid it because I had low compression across the board and one cyclinder had very low compression compared to the other low ones. When I took off my oil pan I found metal shavings and gray swirly oil. All the piston rings are good so I am wondering where...
Alright I have a msd non turbo coil pack on my 2g with a 6bolt right now and i think it is my problem on why my car cant boost high with out the feeling of getting held back (like a misfire). So my problem is my coil pack was hardwired in by the last person who owned the car so I need to know...
Alright I think the problem is that my oil cap is leaking and all the oil that is leaking out is sitting next to the number 4 cylinder and leaking down in where the spark plug goes. I have noticed oil on the plug only twice and those were times I drove home from college 3hrs and there was tons...
I didnt do a leak down test yet but before i did the compression test i cleaned off the plug and fired up the car....the car smoked and burned off all the oil in the cylinder I checked the cyclinder and there was no oil when i did the compression test. The oil only comes back after a few hard...
Alright I have a 6 bolt motor with around 3000 miles on it and I did a compression test that came out around 170 in each cylinder but when I remove my number 4 cylinder plug it is soaked with oil. All the other plugs are fine but I cant seem to figure out what the problem is.
Alright I got a new blitz blow off valve and this one lets out air but it takes like 2 seconds for all the air to come out and it doesnt do one quick swoosh it basically still sounds like compressor surge. Do you think it is because of my 3inch intercooler piping it just takes longer to get all...
Alright I got a blitz blow off valve and won't let out any air it just causes my turbo to compressor surge when ever I get on boost, part throttle or wide open throttle. I took of the blow off valve and I cant even push the bottom of the valve to open up, is that normal? Is there any way I...
I guess I am retarded because the cause of the "spark" problem was putting to much oil in on my oil change i did at the time I put everything together. There was oil all in the number one cylinder and some in the second (or is it the forth and third? The left two!) At first I thought I fried a...
Alright I got my car all together and running and took it out for my first pull and it pulled great. I drove the car around alittle longer and then the car wouldn't idle for anything. The only way I got it to idle to drive home was adjust the tps in dsmlink to 10%. So what would cause my idle...
Having a problem with a 6 bolt in a 2g.. I have a RRE cas harness, I swapped pins in the ecu, and I also changed the firing order on the motor ( 4 with 3 and 2 with 1 ). I do have dsmlink and I chose the invert CAS when ordered. The car seems to not want to start.. DO I have to swap the 2 blue...
Alright thanks guys I was worried about changing my address because its actually a debit card but whatever it was easy and it worked i guess because my order worked.
Well I called hahn and they said that I need the spacer or else it will hit the block not even considering the waterpipe. I thought it was crazy too but thats what they are telling me. I have an ssautocrome manifold that I just switched with a turbonetics t3 cast manifold....should I just...
Alright I bought a 25g turbo used that was from hahnracecraft. The thing is to run the turbo you need a spacer in between the head and the exhaust manifold so the turbo doesnt hit the block. Is there anywhere I can get this spacer besides hahnracecraft.com because they wont ship to me at...
Thanks guys my idle is killing me so hopefully this will do it. :thumb: Alright I am not sure if this is right but there is a line going from the back of my thermostat housing to almost the end of the waterpipe....is that where the guy looped the connections for the throttle body??? If thats...
Alright well i got my tps wired in and everything but still dont have coolant lines hooked up to my throttle body because there are no lines that go to it....the previous owner must have eliminated them. So my question is whats going to happen if i dont put a fiav block off plate because I...
Alright i got a 2g throttle position sensor and I also have the connector so the only thing i need to do is find out which wires connect to the connector wires. So if anyone has a wiring diagram or anything...also another question, I dont have my fiav blocked off nor do I have coolant lines...
Alright I bought my car with a 75mm throttle body on it so it used a mustang throttle position sensor. Now my problem is I went back to a 1g throttle body in my 2g so I could get a better idle but I have to cut off the mustang tps connector inorder to hook the wires up to the 2g throttle...
