Car Bogging down under boost?

[Stewi]

Brian, you wanna take a ride out to Delaware this weekend? Its 2 hrs from NYC. Not too bad.

Ehhh. If its the tune tho, I dont know SHIT about emanage, if he had AEM I could mess with it a little, but Emanage is foreign to me.

it beats trying to guess whats wrong his car from over the internets

[Shadow19]

When you removed the plugs are you sure you wired the plugs up correctly? I swear my car did that same exact shit when i first did my turbo build and like a jack ass i crossed 2 of the plug wires. Afr was lean, rich, blah blah blah all over the place. That ticking is from the cylnders not firing correctly. Good luck

[seth98esT]

Is the fuel pump stock?

[IceDouTGaLanT]

yeah, i marked all wires before removing them. The same issue was happing before the swap of plugs.

Seth, I have an Walbro 255 LPH Fuel Pump

[Shadow19]

Maybe u have a bad coil. Good luck man.

[IceDouTGaLanT]

I been thinking its the coilpacks, im trying to locate some which I can test. I remember alot of user's had issues with emange +coilpacks frying, which i never did. But maybe now that might be the issue. Been running the same coilpacks for 90K miles, +2yrs of boost

[Galantfan88]

Maybe its time to go Evo 8 ECU. I have a spare on sitting on my desk right now you can have for free. (just kidding Jesus!!) It belongs to galantfan88. lol[/QUOTE]

HAHA I just saw this right now, your to damn funny Aaron.lol

I would deff look at the coil packs bc thats a pretty good amount of miles on the coil packs and 2 years of boost...yeah I would look at the coil packs one of them might be fried. I may be wrong but dosnt hurt.

[fatal1]

rpn i have the stock coilpacks still from my brithers car when i parted it out. as well as magnecore wires if you want to switch them out as well.

shoot me a call or a pm and if you want them ill give you a good deal

[Corey2kG]

yeah the last SOHC valve cover I removed from an 8g was GoldGalant-REBORN's car. It took me about 45 minutes to get all the old pieces of valve cover gasket out of the valve cover because it was stuck, I ened up using a small flathead screw driver and a torch to heat it up.

on my v6 it took me about 1 1/2 hours to get one out. ended up messing up the valve cover n had to get another. why do they stick so bad? my g is the only ive worked out that had this problem.

back to life=

16:1 afr is scary-death for a f/i car man. but that's lean, i would be more worried about the fuel system/tuning than ignition at this point. rich will bog & flood & die, but usually not enough to actually hydrolock and cause damage, super lean conditions, however, blow sh*t up on a regular basis...

love to get an update on what really happened?

[IceDouTGaLanT]

The car is still down, waiting on receiving my new coilpacks. I doubt its a tuneing issue, either fuel or ignition. The car ran great on this current tune for 2+ years with no issues with lean/rich, and just suddenly last month i experienced few backfire's and then this whole stuttering issue happened where car cant be driven. Hopefully its an simple fix *fingers crossed* maybe when you TGC nyc guys stop down for eastcoast mod, you can swing by its 30 mins from my house?

[Stewi]

Ron if there is still a problem with it when mod comes let me know. I will def try to help you out while im down there.

[IceDouTGaLanT]

Update: Installed new coilpacks + magnacore wires

Had to replace battery since it drained, thanks optima for the 3yr warranty!

Started car, AFR=16.0 and sounds like a tractor still. I just dont get it arghh! Would bad fuel cause this problem?

[Stewi]

Ron can you take some video of it, or anything with sound? How does it sound if you rev it a little to lets say like 2,000?

It could be bad fuel, if you can drain the fuel great, if not, I would go to a speedshop or local track and get like 5 gallons of 100 or 110 and mix it in, that might help it a bit if the old gas has alot of moisture.

[reiketsutsukigami]

wait it sounds like a tractor? have you check to see if your sparking on all your plugs cause our engine sounds like a tractor or lawnmower when it runs on 2-3 cylinders when my ecu fried it sound like a lawnmower cause i was only running 2 cylinder cause the black/blue ignition wire from ecu pin 11 was feeding 5v even though the wire is supposed to be a ground check the black/blue and the white blue wires from your coil packs to make sure they are grounding properly if your not sparking on a few if your sparking then check your injectors maybe your only getting fuel to a few cylinders or a bit less in one or 2 causing leaner overall conditions i had one of my injector seals get screwed up on me and my egt skyrocketed. and it wasnt a big leak either.

[IceDouTGaLanT]

Hey Brian, i will try to get a clip this week. Best i could describe it under 2K is like its on maybe 2-3 cylinders.

Reikets- Thats sounds just about right to whats going on. I never checked voltage, im guessing a standard volt meter is all i need?

[Isaurio]

Hope you get your G fixed. Let us know what is going on. Take a video

[reiketsutsukigami]

yea if you put the power to the larger wire(power wire) and ground it out to both the other 2 it should read around 11.2-12.whatever XD. make sure the key is in the on position when you do this or it work read anything.if either of them show like a 5.5ish number your prolly having the same problem I did.

[IceDouTGaLanT]

Heres the videos requested.
