put a bit of oil in manually. pulled the efi fuse and cranked it over until oil pressure was built up. i then let it idle for about 5 minutes.. went inside and got cleaned up.. then took it for a 10 minute drive and it is almost as though my car has a deeper tone to it.. and exhaust feels more...

I just recently bought a "rebuilt" CT-26 from a guy on the forum. New compressor wheel, and I beleive new shaft etc... I put it on (pretty straight forward) and it boosts fine. However for some reason it makes a weird noise at times (kind of like what a tire sounds like rubbing on the...

I believe i have the same problem. However, it is only when my engine is cold and I boost in say 1st or 2nd gear. It momentarily hits fuel cut, engine light comes on, and within a second its back to normal! Now when I say boost when the engine is cold, I do NOT mean just after being first...

***7M = BHG*** plain and simple. :)

I had this problem as well. Sometimes it wouldnt go away sometimes it would. I tried burping it several times. Didnt work! Turns out it was the early stages of a BHG (which i now just replaced) and havnt heard a damn thing since!:) car wasnt overheating before but it runs a lot cooler now.

its always been like that, nothing has changed about it.

Wonderin if anybody knows why fuel is leaking out of the top of the pulsation dampener on the fuel rail? I have confirmed, there is two washers in there and it is TIGHT. But it looks as though fuel is coming out of the little hole at the top of it. Overpressuring? what is going on!? I also...

i just said my cams were on the wrong degree. and owing $3500 dollars already for the last 6 months doesnt help my "budget". yes, i can say 95% of the time I am a person who does things righ the first time. i totally follow by that saying do it right do it once. but in this case, i have...

Tight tight budget at the moment. Just need it running. Going to school soon. I plan to fully rebuild when school is over anyways.

EXACTLY wut happened! ^^ ALL is good now:D:D i beleive sumhow it was 180 off?!! but my dad and I went over it watching the cams on each stroke and it was totally off, causing low compression cuz the intake or exhaust would still be open during compression stroke. Thanks for all your help...

yes. engine cold. it has only ran for about 30 seconds in total with this new head gasket. this was done 100% cold. but still. 80-90!!!! noo way

so something as simple as valve lash can cause low compression... nevew knew im hopoingggggg thats all it is:S

Ok ok.. so what IF the valve lash is in spec? Then what would I go check.

My machine shop checked it and said it was all within spec. there are numbers writtin on my head where the valve covers go that are like 9, 9, 8, 10, 10 etc...

I'll start out by saying before my head gasket "blew" (slightly), my compression was between 165-170. It was starting to show symptoms of a BHG (air bubbling out when I take rad cap off, misfiring, running rough...), so I tore it apart and started the HG project. Had the head machined, new...

Thermostat could be stuck open. Unplug the connectors on the thermostat housing. Take out the two bolts on the housing and check your stat in a pot of water on the stove to see if it opens at the right temp. (what I would do is just replace it anyways! doesn't hurt. cut the jiggle valve out and...

are they the ebay "projectors" that are inside the H4 housings? or are they actual single round projector lenses by them selves? if they are the ebay H4 projectors, they are garbage X10. ran those for about 9 seconds and decided to throw them in the garbage. for now I have e-code...
