Today, I am doing a retorque, and trying to figure out what is up with my timing I'm hoping my exhaust cam is just off by a tooth or something, my coolant is draining right now so I can figure it out As you can see, for it to run the adjustment has to be maxed out, and that puts me at about 5*...

Well, I failed emissions today :( But it drove pretty well there and back Here are my results: HC: cruise limit 150, result = 210 (fail), idle limit 220, result = 69 (pass) CO: cruise limit 1, result = 4.61 (fail), idle limit 1.2, result = 0.01 (pass) CO + CO2: cruise limit 6, result = 15.71...

I set it according to the picture floating around on the forum, but mine could only go abit further or a bit less then how it looks in the CPS picture I set timing with the crank pointing at 0 (i double checked TDC with a chopstick) double checked the cam gears were pointing up. Or so I...

The car is running again! Although It's starting to develop a misfire at idle and it'll continue if I rev it with no load, each misfire is a Pop sound, and you can see the tachometer dip down a touch when it happens I'm having a hard time tuning for VF, it'll tell me I'm lean (0 volts) and I...

Going to revive this thread from the dead because I'm having the same problem! Looks like it's still unresolved :( I cannot get my timing adjusted to 10* BTDC, I'm also running Maft Pro (without timing control or monitor) and when the car is jumpered and warm, I max out the adjustment in...

Just wanted to update this thread for future reference My hunch was correct as far as saturating the plugs, the car is running again, the idle screw is all the way in, and it idles around 700 rpm, but I can only get the timing as high as 5*, so looks like I need to set the CPS back one tooth to...

Further diagnosis: Ignitor is good, ignitor ground is good CPS everything ohmed out at approximately 220 ohms, spec is 140-180 so I might need a new CPS :( Waiting on my NGK BCPR7ES' to show up so I can try a different throttle body (PCV not clogged) new plugs, different coilpacks, different...

This might bring you a glimmer of hope One time I ordered a replacement project bulb, shipped via DHL, same story, tracking said the package was delivered, but it was nowhere to be found I called DHL, and filed a claim, a day later some random guy dropped off my package, untouched! DHL never...

lol don't worry, I'm not illiterate I was exaggerating, sorry I didn't time it and give you an exact result ;)

It appears as though every single one of my coils are bad Spec is .3-.5 ohms cold, well the car has been resting for over 12 hours, they all measure between .8 and .9 ohms :( I found my old plug wires (toyota's) and they all checked out, #6 had the highest resistance of course, and it was...

Time for a sad update :( Last night I fixed my idle problem, I tried to adjust my tune back a bit since I now have less air entering the system then before, so obviously I had to re-tune, but I guess I should have just reset and started over! I hopped on the freeway to get a data log (the car...

Worst joke ever I want my 5 minutes back!

At least it's simple stuff so far! Basically everything I've done on this build has been a first, so it's all one hell of a learning experience! I'm pretty sure I need to adjust the CPS by one tooth... The drive, didn't go so great, started stuttering and bucking like hell, the tachometer...

Ok I'll seat It all the way and reset the ecu again. I'll try and soak it longer with carb cleaner, but I might be able to get a good condition replacement for $25 so that's worth saving time!

It's still plugged into the TB like stock, but since it's clogged internally it's the same as being blocked off :) I think the problem went away, I still have to drive the car and see how it does warm, see if I can set timing... but after a short start up (cold) it was at about 900 rpms, all I...

Well I just meant, It's already routed to the accordion hose stock, so since my PCV port is clogged that's the path it will have to take! I can deal with the first few hundred miles until I get a new throttle body! Back to work getting things back together and troubleshooting this idle.

I was trying to determine if the TB itself was leaking, that's why i removed the IC piping So without the vac from the TB for the PCV i can cause damage? I will put everything back together, If I need to test the ISCV i'll have to order a new gasket first, you actually ceramic coated it (or...

I already messed with the screw, it was backed pretty far out. I counted the number of turns, its now about 1 rotation out from all the way in, and instead of flowing freely, there is some restriction when I blow compressed air in the port My PCV port is officially clogged, looks like I'll...

Sorry if I mislead you, what I meant was the port I was blocking off earlier at the top of the TB in the inside, leads to (gets it's vacuum from) the port on the other side (intake side) of the butterfly valve, inside the TB on the upper left corner (the PCV get's is vacuum from the one in the...

The vacuum is coming from the other side of the butterfly valve, at the port in the upper left corner (opposite of the PCV port) Could this mean the previous owner had played with the Idle air screw? Could this and a bad ISC be the cause of my problem? I can see some light escape through the...
