    car still misses

    an update: Today i changed out the injectors with another pair, redid the timing (again), cleaned the corrosion off of the alternator wires, resealed the intake, idle control valve, etc, and tried to start it again. Now it won't even start. It fires up for less than a sec, and dies immediatly...

    car still misses

    ok, my car still runs like ass. It idles now, but still acts like it has a dead miss when the engine gets put under load. I just put on new intake gaskets from toyota, checked out the idle control valve, afm, and tried a new cps but the car still runs terrible. Spark plugs and wires are next on...

    damn, i guess it can't be all good

    it revs alright, it just sucks ass at idle. THe car wont start with the idle control valve plugged in, but when it is unplugged, it will start up. I will definatly check the upper and lower intake for leaks tomorrow.

    damn, i guess it can't be all good

    well, the plugs were black, but that was because it ran really rich when it started missing. It just acts like it's out of time. THe thing of it is though is that the cps, the cam gears, and the motor are all where they are suppost to be? If the cps goes bad, could the car still run? I know it...

    damn, i guess it can't be all good

    ok, i checked the wires and the timing is dead on. Could the cps be out? the car barely runs. It acts like one of the cylinders isin't firing and sounds like it has a really bad exhaust leak (it doesn't though). I guess that's because of the dead cylinder. What would a dead cps do? Wtf is the deal?

    damn, i guess it can't be all good

    ok, i pulled all of the intercooler hoses, they needed to be replaced, so i ordered them. They should be here in two weeks. For the time being i inspected the old ones really well, put the old ones back on, and tightened them really well. The car still runs like crap. Checked the coded, still...

    damn, i guess it can't be all good

    it idles the same with it plugged in or not; not at all. I checked all of the hoses, everything seems to be fine with them. If one of these hoses had a leak in it, would it cause the car to miss all the time?

    damn, i guess it can't be all good

    could the timing belt have jumped a gear on the camgear?. I'm looking at them and it looks like it is about a tooth off. i unplugged the afm, and it changed nothing. Just pulled all the plugs and they looked fouled. I don't have a spare maf sitting around. I tested it via tsrm, and only got...

    damn, i guess it can't be all good

    ok, no blown hoses, changed out the coil pack, it still misses and won't run. Any more ideas? how would one go about checking the ignitor?
  13. J

    damn, i guess it can't be all good

    would that cause it to miss really bad? I mean, it misses at idle and all the way through the rpm range. I know a blown hose would make it run rich, but would it act like it is running on 4 cylinders?

    damn, i guess it can't be all good

    alright, i'm driving home, i give it a little gas, turbo spools up, everything seems fine. After i let off the gas, the car starts missing like crazy, to the point where it won't even idle. I get it home like this, check the codes, and there is nothing new. The car has always thrown a code 24...

    clutch help!

    the same thing happened when the master cylinder went out in my 87 na. After rebuilding the cylinder, the clutch would go all the way to the floor and wouldn't come back up. We had to bleed the system a few times, and after doing this just pumped the clutch until all of the air worked its way...

    throtte linkage

    anybody know what the part number is for that thing on top of the engine that the throttle cable and cruise control cable go into. It's the thing that has the rod connected to the thottle body. Also, what the hell is that thing called?
