FINALLY... AN ANSWER TO WTF IS GOING ON.

[USMCgetsome]

ok nick i had a leak on injectors 1 and 2 going into block. I could actually hear it when i put my ear next to the rail. So i retightened and took for a lil ride. Huge difference. I even broke a lil traction into second and it went sideways a lil. I'm resetting the ecu and going to go run it tomorrow morning. I'm done cranking wrenches. I also noticed that the afm sense wire connection was a lil crappy so i respliced it. Man i couldn't believe my eyes when i saw the damn injectors spray and coils spark. Just freakin pissed me off.

compression on others were 3 = 1454 = 1505 = 1536 = 150

they're close. I know they're supposed to be like 170-180lbs but i'm thinking about doing a piston/cam/rings upgrade.

Yeah, if there's a leak, those cylinders are injecting lots of extra air, so the plugs could be white because they're terribly lean..dunno. But yeah, I had an issue like that before with installing my new injectors, the car idle poorly because it is essentially a large vacuum leak. Get the seals all straightened out and get the rail bolted in straight and tight and try again man, you're close.

My car is scary fast now, I broke loose in 3rd today just rolling on it

ahh man what did you do to it to make it brake loose in 3rd? come on give up the details.

[goofynick6]

Haha...16psi, big turbo, worn tires? haha

[USMCgetsome]

ahh nick you kill me. I'm gonna go start her up pretty soon and take it for a ride. i'll let you know whats going on after NOON. Later.

ok soo i have somewhat fixed the damn issue. There was an air leak at the 1st two injectors going into the block so i fix the rail and viola i have combustion. I had 1 cracked spark plug and that screwed me. I still back fire but it seems insignificant. She idles really well now. Just have to fit the recirc pipe back into hks ssqv fin for the pfffhew noise. Thinking about using silicone to seal vynl piping to hks ssqv outlet. Anyhow, it's finally over or atleast so i think. New clutch getting put in this week as well as new rim and tire. Thanks for all the help fellas.

Glad to be of service! I told ya we'd get it running again. Off topic: I just took my buddy Ronnie to Hooters, hes on Leave right now going to Korea tommarrow... Sucks...I just said that because I know you're a Marine lol.

[USMCgetsome]

he going to north or south. I forget which one has us bases but i think south korea is F--KED up stay clear. Even the damn embassy won't save you if you get into some sh-t. But man you can get loads of crap cheap there. He better be drunk before he gets on that plane it's a really long flight.

[Slo_240sx]

I'm not sure hes gonna write me when he gets there. I'll tell him to get me some stuff while hes there lol. Yeah he said it takes 15hrs and hes not allowed to smoke so hes carrying chew with him, yuck. God Bless people like him, you guys get the best of respect here in the states. A Ex Marine bought him a drink at hooters and he didn't pay for his Ice cream at DQ. I want to join so I can get free ice cream

[USMCgetsome]

yeah it's nice every once in awhile to get freebies but you always get treated like crap when you get to base. lol.

Well last night was great. I finally got combustion on my fi.rst 2 cylinders. There was a huge increase in power and response. Clutch finally going out on me and it's hard to get it into 4th gear. Sounds like TOB is done. Finally i can rest at ease because it's working finally. Although she still backfires. WTF

[Slo_240sx]

Are you running a vent to atmos. BOV?

[USMCgetsome]

NO SIR.. learned my lesson with that soo i rerouted it and it seems to work well but when the bov closes is when it happens. Shifting gears. or in a grear but at low rpm under 2500rpm and cruising. Think it might be this new damn 02sensor i bought from oreillys wich is the bosch universal 3 wire for the ca18det. Since i put that in it was backfiring like crazy.

[Slo_240sx]

Change it. Junk. Its for a CA. what else can I say lol

[USMCgetsome]

man i searched all the archives and recent post and that's what i came up with for a suitable replacement. any other suggestion?
