bump!!

 

[js_protege_03dx]

anyone?

 

[Wdubosemsp]

whenever my rubber boot got stuck in there i just used come needle nosed and some twisting. Came out eventually

 

[js_protege_03dx]

i tried that and the plastic just keeps breakin!?!?
mayb spray something down in there? then try?

 

[ScratchNSniff]

Lol...I had mine do the same thing...take off the VC, it will be much easier...use a hook tool...that is what I call it, and pull it out...

 

[808MP5]

from looking at the spark plugs i would say you are running very lean

also it would be helpful if you had a mod list
what ecu are you using... any piggyback?
do you have a wideband afr gauge?

 

[js_protege_03dx]

i took of the VC and got it out!!
the mods i have r
MSP ecu
fmic
millinia pcv
msp mani, s and j pipe, turbo, ect...
glow shift boost, a/f narro band, and oil pressure gauges (not hooked up yet)
obx exhaust
custom sri
i think thats about it
also when the engine is warm, even thought the oil level is at full, the oil light on the gauge cluster starts flickering at idle? idk why? any one ever experienced that? ill try to post a vid tommoro also

 

[808MP5]

The oil light will come on when the stock oil pressure sensor reads below 5psi. Mine came on before when my oil feed line was leaking. Could be your not getting enough oil pressure. At idle I believe oil pressure should be at 10psi minimum.

I know the narrow band isn't much help but do you notice the afr going lean?

 

[js_protege_03dx]

well can a turbo with oil blow by cause that? also the light doest come on fully, it flickers like its coming on but when i rev back up, it goes away completly.
the bulbs not goin out cause it comes on when i turn the key to on position.

EDIT: also the gauges rnt hooked up yet. still tryin to figure that part out lol
and ill check about the oil line tommoro

 

[Dpwhitehead1]

alright buddy.. here's the thing.. make sure if you're turboed, you're running ngk copper NGK V-Power Spark Plugs

* ZFR6F
* Stock heat range
* Recommended for street use or 9 psi or lower, stock to mildly modified applications
* Copper V-tip electrode
* Set of 4
* Gap to .028-.032


also, as far as the oil pressure sender is concerned, with the light flickering, you either a- have a leak b- have the sender in the wrong spot or c- have a bad sending unit.

and as far as the gauges, which ones? if it's oil pressure, you need to hook both wires on the new sender up.

ok i got new plugs that r NGK ZFR7F, one heat range colder. waitin till i get a new stock turbo to put them in.
also i dont have any of the gauges hooked up yet. don know how lol. but tryin to figure it out.
and im think in that i could possibly have a leak as i know the sender unit is not in the wrong spot or bad.
ill look tommoro and c if i see any thing and make a vid

 

[js_protege_03dx]

update: i got it running and now when ever i let the rpms drop when its about 2k, the car will just die? i could just rev up past 2k and then let off and the car will stall. but it will hold an idle if i dont let the rpms drop too fast. wen driving around town, if i let the idle get to where its about to stall, then rev up to save it from stallin, it will squeeel like a loose belt or something? any body know whats wrong with the car? im still workin on hookin up the gauges BTW.

 

[xDJ DUBx]

If you put the maf on your intake, thats why you're stalling. Tighten up your belts too.

I hate autozone's POS coil packs, mine did the same god damn thing days after I bought it.

 

[js_protege_03dx]

ok, also the belts seem tight already. jus a lil bit of play. i was thinkin that oil could be gettin to it or somethin? i guess the bov blowin off oil doesnt help too much either

 

[js_protege_03dx]

update: so i just swaped out the turbos for one that has no oil blow by
now the only problem that persists is the flickering oil light? idk why it would do it?
ill try to post a vid tommoro. i also here a loud knocking type noise or could be rattling. idk ill post a vid so every1 can see what im talkin bout

 

[harrisonchang]

so my turbo is working our fine for you i hope?

And knock? sounds dangerous.

Hopefully you do get that vid up.

 

[justanothermp5]

glad you guys got that s*** on the car, u made sure you had enough oil in there right?
after all that oil in your pipes and IC i doubt u had too much left in your car lol

 

[js_protege_03dx]

haha yea we got it up and runnin at about 3 and yess we filled her up with fresh oil and the intercooler was sittin in a puddle of oil this morn. so much came out of it!!! i went ahead and bought some new oil to put in
but yea ill try and get that vid up. im starting to get worried about it
