Try a pressure test on the radiator. The clamps used on our cars take a dump after the years and you could get a small leak while driving. It happened to me 2 weeks ago. Did a rad pressure test and the pounds were dropping almost instantly with no coolant on the ground. I replaced the clamps...
To check for vacuum leaks try a boost leak tester... super easy to make. If you have a smoke machine (expensive)... you can introduce the smoke from almost any hose. I like the blow off valve nipple. Or the brake booster after the one way valve...meaning straight to the manifold. Yes you can use...
The head gasket could still be your culprit. There is no true way to make sure is not the issue unless you the headoff. Do a block test to see if you have combustion escaping into the cooling system. Also how are your afr? Things you can try to help it... water wetter, less ration of coolant to...
I had that issue with an unorthodox crank pulley, but my new fluidampr solved that. The one I got was used so maybe that fresh new surface is causing that...Also check if there is any oil getting on your belts? I had a front pump seeping right on a belt....almost unnoticeable... good luck
^ spot on!!! Lol. Do your maintenance! Timing belt, pulley, etc. Before any of that stuff :). And I can highly recommend a good brake upgrade to that list.
Walbo 450+3. Also I have had luck with holley pumps, just if you order one double check e85 compatibility... Most are...and mine is, but just be sure.....great bang for the buck those holleys
If You can run your oil pump with a drill you could maybe get the clog to come out. Just make sure you balance shift are deleted and timing belt is off. You should definitely see oil come out of the passages when doing this.
At higher rpms the vacuum activates the fuel solenoid to increase fuel. I would check you are getting vacuum there first. Which a big vacuum leak can cause high idle and no activation of the solenoid. Do a boost leak test, i know it's a non turbo, but at low psi it can help you find the leak.
Also when looking at the carrier bearing look at the u-joints, and the rubber bushings that hold the bearings in place. I've had the rot and let the bearing clunk. Good luck!
The Biss screw can be bought for under 20 dollars with the cap that you are pointing at. If you are looking to replace it, you can unscrew it and poke it through with a thin wire from the inside of the throttle body. Good luck
are you running a smaller underdrive pulley? this can potentially burn your alternator. concerning the O_2 sensors once again are you are not running stock boost right? do you have a wide band?
It is always good to check if there is any obstructions on the hoses leading to the heater core. Also in the DSM mention there is a system of vacuums that control the passages of the air intakes to the cabin. with that being said you can test the lines for vacuum with a mighty vac or by removing...
did you run something thru your intake system like seafoam? its pretty strange that all the sensor went bad at once concerning the intake area of your car. In my opinion instead of replacing all the sensor i would test them first with a multi meter.other than that i cant really put my finger in...
looks like you need new rotos either way :thumb: but for the future i just use a mallet and hit the edges it works everytime ( considering i live in florida :p) sorry about your rotor though
you can try to jump the solenoid in the starter? if your bendix is rotating, but not engaging then most likely messed up the starter. where your starter would spin, but not engage. Now if your motor is turning and trying to start youll see movement of the belts. if the belts are moving check...
I removed mine on my first DSM and one day i was playing in the mud and my window was covered. so i went to reach for the wiper button and guess what i took it out, then i proceeded to back up without noticing a tree right on my blind stop. that day sucked, so unless you are really into weight...
I would go buy a $1.99 can of engine degreaser and clean the motor. after that i would look at normal areas where DSM's tend to spring up leaks. first the damn oil cap that never seems to seal properly(mainly the rubber seal or the tabs go bad). then a common at least for me is the dipstick can...
ok for the transmission i would go with synchromesh, which is a product design for the transmission that keeps the synchros coated. for the coolant stay away from dexcool and just put the regular green stuff. the green stuff has to be mixed with water according to the temperature of where you...
you can start the car, then pull the battery terminals off. by doing this you can tell if the battery is bad, if the car stalls is your alternator and if it keeps running is your battery. hopa that helps
