replaced my timing belt....Aaaaahhhhh

[yourmomsrps13]

I just replaced my timing belt with a greddy/trust strengthened belt now my car runs so smooth its not even funny, SR20s sound rough and sh@tty compaired. This might have fixed my idle problem but i also pluged the PCV valve as it was shot and im running a catch can. Then i went ahead and installed my Z32 maf and a boost controller(11psi) oh and some newly painted valve covers ; )she feels like a whole new car, idk if the exhaust cam was off by one tooth or if the belt was that stretched but wow what a diference. Im going to head back to the dyno soon and see where im at now considering i made 187 at the wheels when it was 7psi and running sorta crappy, plus i can use the dyno for free whenever.

PS: im still off the charts lean at idle

Your title got me a little worried with the Aaaaahhhhh. I thought you broke something. But from the sound of things it was a sigh of relief. Good to here your ca is better than ever!

[yourmomsrps13]

yes, sigh of relief, but i still dont understand why im so lean at idle and why when shes cold and i give her a min to warm up and then i go to drive away and she wants to stall if i give it anymore then 15% throttle. and i replaced my coolt temp sensor again

[driftin8ez]

ya mine does the samething. If i give it any gas when shes cold even a little it will sputter and bag down until i let of the gas then it will idle fine. This only happens when the engine is cold. As soon as it warms up all is fine.

[yourmomsrps13]

im still getting that and when im just cruising and i give it gas and the boost climbs to 0-1 psi i get a sputter and tiny blue flames out my exhaust, but i can gas right past it

I get that as well. I am hoping it is my vented BOV or bad FPR. Both are being fixed the week.

Maybe a malfunction of the warm-up switch? The sensor on the middle valve cover-side of the intake?
