    so i found something very dissapointing today...

    I had this same problem about a week ago. I just tapped it put a stud in and bolted it down. Mine was a little easier to get to cause it was the one hole closer then the last one. Thing that made me made was even after I fixed the exhaust leak I could still hear the noise, turned out my egr...

    Rpms drop at 1700rpms

    Wouldnt it be throwing a code for it if it was the TPS. Im getting code 14 which just started today. before that it was just 52 that was the knock sensor.

    Rpms drop at 1700rpms

    OK I had a boost leak that was the third injector o-ring. Thats fixed now and the vac is at 20psi vac and full boost is 7psi but if I slowly rise the rpms to 1700 it will drop fast down to about 900rpms and if I hold it there at 1700 it will jump back and forth from like 900 to 1700. I dont...

    Firing on 3 cylinders

    No codes. I had a o2 sensor code and replaced the o2 sensor and code went away and there are no other codes. I replaced the plugs twice and replaced the wires. The only thing I can think of is the coils or the CPS. I will be checking the air gap tomorrow as soon as I get a feeler gauge.

    Firing on 3 cylinders

    OK I want to say its my coils but I just wanted to check with you guys. cylinders 1,3,5 are not firing and if they are its so low of a spark I cant see or hear it. I tested the coils ohms and got 1.1 and I beleive it should be around 0.3 to 0.5 ohms on an 89 turboed. I also checked the plugs...

    Random misfire on acceleration

    Yes are cars are obd1, cars didnt start going obd2 until late 96. You can check your codes by using a paper clip and put one end of the paper clip in the E1 and the other end in Te1 on the dignostic plug on the driver side right behind the battery then turning the key to the on position and...

    Random misfire on acceleration

    Mines kinda doing the same thing. I started with the plugs cause I though it could have been a ignition problem. I also put new isolators on the coil pack bracket and a new ground. Doing all this seemed to clear some of it up but not completely. So I tried checking the codes(which I should have...

    Car is spitting, among other things.

    So I got the oil problem solved. It was the oil cooler lines, I replaced the lines and problem solved. I figured out where the oil was coming from by puting the uv dye in the oil and running the engine at idol for a while and checking it every few mins with a black light(which by the way bugs at...

    Car is spitting, among other things.

    OK so I was going over the engine today and descovered a new problem, Im leaking oil from somewhere on the passenger side of the block. My oil pressure is some where right around 20 at idol. What is on the passenger side of the block besides the oil filter, the oil filter block, and the CPS that...

    Car is spitting, among other things.

    That sounds like a good idea. going to go do that right now. I gaped the plugs before I put them in. I made sure to do this cause I didnt last time.

    Car is spitting, among other things.

    OK update, I replaced the spark plugs with the laser platnium ones that come in it from the factory, put new rubber spacers on the coil pack bracket, and made a new ground for the coil pack bracket and installed my cooleeze FMIC and Im now boosting at around 7psi and the vac at idol is 16-17ish...

    Car is spitting, among other things.

    OK I just replaced my turbo, it is a used turbo but was in very good working order. I put a BIC DP on but it is not a DDP, the car currently has no exhaust on it and is running the stock IC and piping. I did replace the spark plugs on it before I replaced the turbo and such but everywhere I went...

    Steering Rack Leak?

    OK I replaced the whole rack with one out of a 91 supra, it works great with no problems. I put a filter on it also to prevent this from happening again. It didnt take me no more then an hour and a half to complete.

    Steering Rack Leak?

    Ok. That makes sense. I've been doing a lot of stuff to the car so I didnt really give the steering rack a lot of attention. I just kinda looked at it and said that looks difficult. Ive taken the turbo, exhaust, intercooler, and clutch fan out and will be replacing with 57 trim CT-26, BIC DP to...
