Hello, I am a Nissan/ FairladyZ owner gone DSM! I had a very nice 04 350z Track model I dumped my heart and sole into but after two years I got tired of it and wanted to get in the boosted scene! I thought about a 240sx but a old friend of mine just bought a Evo and had his 99 GST 2G sitting in the garage for the past 6 months. I ended up buying the car a few weeks ago for a steal and now fixing all the little problems with it now. I have done some research but still needing more help. I try and use Google search but need some more insight.
The car is a 1999 DSM GST 2G 420A engine. I am having two problems, one being fuel and the other being idle. They are probably both being caused by the same problem.
OK, here we go. The car takes about 4 seconds of cranking to start, if somehow it does start after a second of cranking the RPM's jump up to about 1000k rpm and then will die unless I put my foot on the gas.
Once the car is started the idle jumps between 300rpm and 1100rpm. If I let it sit for over a minute it will usually kill itself. and then I gotta start cranking it again.
While the car is sitting idling, once I put the car in gear, pull away there is a huge amount of white smoke. Smells like gas and there really is quite a bit of smoke.
Power wise seems to be fine, turbo spools up nicely, pulls hard and already won some races
.
Another thing I might add is after I finally get the car started it smells like gas very bad. I have been trying to find the fuel smell and I believe I traced it down to the fuel regulator?. I know it is not the fuel filter because it is fine after I replaced it and the smell is by the fuel regulator area anyways.
The car is also throwing a P1104 code. It is a real code as I have unhooked the battery and reset the ECU numerous times since I got the car to verify it is a real code.
So what do you guys think? Some people online have had a Coolant Temperature Sensor failure. They say to unplug it and see if it runs better since it effects idle? Some have said a failed EGR valve and to take it off and block it completely. I have checked the O-Rings on the injectors and they are fine. There is also no vacuum leaks.
Well enough typing here is a picture of the fuel regulator, can I rebuild this or at least clean it? Since the car has been sitting for such a long time. Could it be clogged?
Here is a little more about the car below, the maintenance part below I have done in the past two weeks.
Car
- Manual Boost Controller.
- Evo Turbo.
- 550CC Injectors.
- Walbro 255 Pump.
- Greddy BOV.
- HKS Turbo Timer.
- Megan Racing Full Exhaust.
Maintenance
- Fuel Filter Change.
- Air Filter.
- Oil Change/ Filter.
- NGK BPR7ES/ Wires OK.
- Boost Leak Test ( Checks out OK! )
- Seafoam threw vacuum line, teaspoon in each cylinder, tad bit in oil and rest threw gas tank. Smoked like a chimney!
.
I hope to hear some good feedback, signing off and going to celebrate the rest of my birthday tonight haha. Thanks guys!
