Car has been tuned w/wideband. My guage is narrow. I know it will jump but it just never did as much before at an idle. Idle is alreayd way above 800 at .9-1.1K, my EGR has a pretty good leak in it im guess that's my idle problem.

whats spark knock?? It started since the last tune FYI, my sparks have les than 2K miles on them but they were run rich as hell the first 1500 miles..could that be the problem?. Also there is a strange vibration periodically, i notice it most at an idle and it seems to be in sync with the...

Well i noticed this a couple nights ago, the knock sensor (according to SAFCII) was registering anywhere from 0-3HZ from the sensor. This only happened at an idle (which is around 9-1.1K). I figured that couldn't be good since its always been zero. Now today i noticed it reading anywhere from 0...

^lights turn on when switched on?

all other lights go on, just not the main two

what do you consider a good launch?

I recently seemed to have an electrical surge or something. My power window switch stopped working for my passenger side and interior lights stopped working at the same time. My interior lights will turn on manually but not when i open the door or put the key in the lock, all the other lights...

Yes there are two metal supports passenger side but withought the tire any weight in the back on the wood is heavily reliant on the driver side hinge, which if you've ever looked at them they are very thin and flex easily. The hinges are not made to support much weight at all, simply enough...

i'm not familiar with how exactly they work, just a general idea of what they do. What is a pintle, can you describe how they work? I'm curious. Yeah they are really expensive, i just checked autozone, i think ill just try to find a used one and hope for the best. I assume you removed your's...

:biglaugh:

Well my brother and i were messing around with it. You know how if you put your finger on a hole where its leaking and the pitch changes? Well we found that mostly around teh screws on the bottom of the EGR if you put your figers there, it changed the pitch the most but doesnt completely stop...

^^how much and how many miles are on it?

The spare is not a big deal to me right now. I'm busy and need to save money right now. I just did this as a temp solution, though it coule be used as permanent. I wrote this up to help if anyone else was in a similar situation with not having a spare...thats all.

Well i pressure tested my system again in light of my recent turbo problem...this time i did it not the other place i had it done. I found one small leak in a coupler and noticed the EGR leaks a rather good amount of air...but its not on anywhere the hoses connect. Is this supposed to happen...

^thought about it but i have too much going on right now to go junkyard hunting. I need to move out in a couple days, i have turbo issues right now, and some family troubles...i needed another solution and i found one...i just thought i'd share the info in case someone else also didn't have a...

^you mean just take out the switch and clean the contacts or take the switch itself apart and clean that??

Im going to take the intak off today to check for shaft play. Turbo boosts just shy of 3K but has a stuttering effect to it until 3.2K or so. It spools to 10 and over but bleeds slowly until 5.5K in which it bleeds rather rapidly. My last dyno showed this two days ago. Topped out at 260WHP at...

^ :dunno: ..mine is very thin so i figured other peoples were as well
