MKO's AWD/Turbo/DOHC/5 Speed Project

[mko]

damn, its a lil too far for me. Id jump on it right away.

[mko]

IDK what is wrong with this car. Now I cant boost much. It goes to 2 psi max. I even bypassed the MBC and ran the line from the j-pipe to wastegate and still the same. My girlfriend filled me up with 87 while I was paying inside the gas station, I hope this is why i cant boost.

I still have the hiccup and it gets no better. Ive tried everything possible. My AFRs are normal, but my spark plugs are white. It acts like a post MAS leak, but Ive checked it all.

Im about to put my stock MAS and just run the SAFC.

Im open to any suggestions

Well, Its fixed now. I had a a leak from the j-pipe gasket. And since i dont have MBC anymore boost goes to 8 psi and I likes it alot.

glad you got it fixed man. enjoy the boost haha. im doing mine soon

[Ivory8g]

glad to hear its fixed!

Glad to hear you got the bugs out. Now lets see a vid. I might be buying one of the two gs's down here, and swap all the parts onto it and sell by s. If I do end up getting the gs, I'll sell you all the gs swap parts that I have for cheap. It might not be untill jan though when i get taxes. Hope you can wait that long.

Oh I fixed the boost leak, but it still does the hiccup thing. It annoys the crap out of me

[Galant306m]

What do you mean by "hiccup"? If I where you I would run a coil ignition setup from a spyder 4g64 you keep the dist there for the cas and then wire the coils up, betting you are not getting a strong enough spark from the dist

[mko]

Very soon. Im waiting on Kolio to get back to me about a GS harness, and as soon as i get it, it will be done

[mko]

So, I did a few things today. I was trying to eliminate things one by one on top of what Ive done so far.

Switched back to my OEM fuel filter /brand new/ and filter to rail line, installed different TB and just in case I switched to 510cc. Well, the thrill of 510cc acceleration felt nice, but my hiccup problem still persist, and its driving me crazy.

Things Im doubting that might be the problem:

Aeromotive FPR, distributor and HG.

post a vid if you can of said "hiccup"

so, I put new coolant temp sensor and switched back to my stock fpr, and guess what, its still doing the hiccup. So most likely i have an ignition problem. The distributor is probably going.

its almost like the alternator cycling mine does the same thing when that happens or when the a/c kicks on in the summer

i just listened to your vid a little closer and my old 95 did that before the distributor went. mostly did it when it was cold

plug a scanner into it and see what she is reading for timing while idling should be about 11 or 12 degrees and watch it if its hopping around then your dist or CAS is going out.

[97dsmturbogalant]

Does it do it every now and then when your driving or just when it's idling? My s had a hiccup when it was driving and idling. Changed the distrib with one out of the j/y and problem solved.

Alty is new. That was the first thing that went on me when I bought the car, dizzy was second

Mitch, Im 94 I has no scanner for it. The only thing Ive seen work is Snap on scanner, but I dont have it

It does it all the time and even more these days. Driving, Idling....you name it.

[seth98esT]

And it only does it out of boost? WOT is the only time it doesnt do it?

[skrap]

Yea i was driving in the car today. It only does it when he is cruising at like 10% throttle or a idle.. I have never felt any thing like it im really not sure what it is... Im betting the distributer though...

[mko]

I hope its the dizzy, that is what is left. maybe a clogged cat or dieing battery.

Id have never thought of the dizzy when it started doing it, after all its just 2 years old, but you never know with the parts these days
