2.3 problems- never ran right under boost

[Kmiller86]

everything is in the logs. It didnt look that rich to me during spool up

Head gasket leak under high boost maybe.

No no updates as of yet. I have it in storage for winter so i cant take it out on the road for any tests or anything.

I hope its not the head gasket, Its a Cometic HP metal head gasket and when I had the block resurfaced to an RA of 50 along with the head. Also it has this problem at 15psi which I dont consider high.

Well, to a headgasket 15 psi can be high. Its all relative though.

Well not to bring this post back from the dead but since its been nice out here in wisconsin, I had time to get my car out of storage and see whats up. I redid the compression test when the car was fully warm and while holding the throttle fully open and have the same results 160-160-160-160.

I also did a leakdown test and that didnt turn up anything i had 13%-15%-12%-13% for the leakdown percentages. Which i dont think is bad at all considering i have done this on newer cars and they have accually been in the high 20's.

I do have Web cams in the car and have read that they are not always on. Would this cause anything? Me not having them timed right?

I also have a new problem, my dsmlink will not connect. It connected the day i put it away and didnt touch anything and now it wont connect. I have tried all of the basic stuff like the com ports different laptop and checked all the fuses. My next step is to trace the wires back to the ecu and see what i can find out.


Thanks.
