No power at temp

[motox-010]

I just got off the phone with the dealership that has the Talon I'm looking at.
The guy I talked to said that when the car is cold, it runs normal. But when It warms up to operating temp it doesn't have any power, and it idles erratically.
Mods are as follows:
Intake

K&N air filter
2g MAS
Dejon tool hard intake pipe (CIP-1gS-3.5")
Mitsubishi 16g Turbo
Large front mount intercooler
2 1/2" intake piping
Cyclone intake manifold
Turbo XS RBV-25 bypass valve

Fuel

Full Throttle Speed adjustable fuel pressure regulator
Walbro 255lph fuel pump
550 cc/min fuel injectors

Ignition

MSD DIS-2
GXSR motorcycle ignition coils used to make a coil on plug system

Engine

Crower Stage 2 cams (64413-2)
ACT-2600 clutch kit
2 1/2" turbo back exhaust
Polished intake runners and bowls
Engine rebuild less than 15,000 miles ago
New timing belt, tensioner, water pump, bottom end gaskets and front main seal.
2 10" Zirgo slim radiator fans

I did a some searching and found that people had issues with the O2 sensor being bad. Should I just have them hook it up to a scan tool and check that?

sounds to me like an o2 sensor... does th car have any kind of logger in it? and yes some scan tools will give an o2 voltage but if your talking about one to check for codes it might not a weak o2 signal doesn't always kick a CEL.

 

[motox-010]

No logging tool or even a wide band. I plan on zeroing everything out until I can get a logger and a wide band. Will it hurt the car to drive it on the interstate about 50 miles?

What piggyback or engine management? safc2?
Does the car build boost? Have you personally drove the car yet, what does it do?

 

[motox-010]

It has the original AFC. The one with dials for each rpm range.
The first time I went to drive it, a connection came loose on the battery relocation in the trunk, and it died. Only got about half a block from the lot. So they looked at it this week and fixed it.

 

[colbyc]

So you havent really gotten to drive it at operating temps yet?

 

[motox-010]

No. That's just what I was told. I drove it for maybe 2 minutes.

 

[colbyc]

If you paying a decent amount for this i'd say you can find a good closer to stock one for cheaper man.
Thats just my opinion, but if your set on getting this one start with the front o2.

 

[motox-010]

I believe there's only one O2 on OBDI cars. And DSMs are so hard to come by up here in Western SoDak.

 

[colbyc]

obd2?
upstream downstream

Rear o2 is not needed, just throws a CEL but affects nothing,
the front o2 however is needed

 

[motox-010]

I mean OBDI
1Gs only have the O2 sensor on the housing. No downstream sensor.

 

[colbyc]

Why are you talking about obd1?

 

[motox-010]

You said check the front O2. Just clearing up that there is only one O2 sensor on OBD1 cars.
I'm having second thoughts about this car though. I don't have time to #### around with stuff like that. But I guess DSMs aren't the car to have if you don't wanna #### around with it.

 

[colbyc]

ohhhh shittt forgot your 1g here haha
but yeah like i said if your paying decent money for someones messed up dsm i would find another thats just my .2 cents
you can find a fairly stock 1 or 2g fairly decent priced do basic maint. and have a good car

 

[motox-010]

Not around here I can't... It blows.
