Niku-Sama Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 its about 35 miles away and so far the only things wrong are as follows. rear main leak passenger exhaust header ppe leak a/c doesent blow cold but works (componentents engage) slight surging while accelerating overall running better when the tank is more full. the last 2 i have been working on and i am confused/running out of ideas. today i cleared out PCV lines and other intake lines and some were completely blocked off and it helps some, computers re adjusting. i re seated all the intake and made sure there werent cracked boots and sealed them up good and i still get slight surging when i accelerate. i'm thinkin its probally just a worn out turbo, doesent having a bit of shaft play cause such symptoms? the sensors test out fine the other thing is the car will start easier and run a little smoother with a gastank thats more full than empty. i havent pursued this much but chould a regulator be worn out or a pump worn out? i'm not sure where to start on this one, i guess it could contribute to the surging if its nnot getting enough fuel. when i re did the ignition timing i gained some power and the pinging stopped and the surging mellowed but its still there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Abides Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 How did you check to see if the hoses were blocked. Did you half to take them apart 1 buy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niku-Sama Posted July 4, 2009 Author Share Posted July 4, 2009 yea i took them off one by one, took a while. some could hardly move any air and others you could see were blocked off and it took quite a bit of pressure to blow it free and then it blew big chunks.

Loyale93v Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 yea i took them off one by one, took a while. some could hardly move any air and others you could see were blocked off and it took quite a bit of pressure to blow it free and then it blew big chunks. I am having similar problems with my Loyale EA82 SPFI, I am going to pull all the lines and clean them out aswell. Any tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niku-Sama Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 most of mine were dried and crusty crap. i used a flat screw driver and scraped alot out and then used some super clean and sloched it arround untill it turns an orange brown and then took the hose and sprayed it out. you could start and the PCV and work your way back to the engine/intake one was blocked at a bend and i couldnt get the screw driver into it so i sprayed the super clean in it and let it sit and then i took the hose and presed it up aginst the end real hard so it wouldnt leak and it eventualy blew the junk out, didnt get it all but it was decent flowing when i was done. there were still some hoses to ddo but they werent as bad and they were in more difficult spots. of course you could replace em all too but that costs $$$ any one else have and ideas about the surging and the hard starting?

Niku-Sama Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share Posted July 7, 2009 ok so i have had some time to drive it since i unplugged those lines and it is a bit better in terms of power. i still have a huge ammount of time from when i step on the gas and it takes off if i need to move in a hurry. it kicks into "POWER" mode and then it takes it a little bit before it takes off, i guess its waiting for the turbo to spool. its at 1040 miles today, tossed in a bit of lucas, subaru like lucas. alot quieter now. see if it'll slow the rear main leak a bit. i'm having a bit of a cash flow problem lately, the state ************ed up so i gotta call em and i am calling after a hiliday weekend. which really sucks because i was counting on getting the exhaust welded up before i head down south. about done with it though, fix the exhaust and fine tune some things for best milage/HP. idle speeds a bit low Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
