StallionProject86 Posted June 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 Changed up the OP a bit, and long over due for an update. I haven't really done to much besides getting a GM MAF and translator installed. It's been down for quite awhile now so things are on standby. Anyway a shot of the MAF http://i874.photobucket.com/albums/ab308/LAJits-media/IMG_20110505_153723.jpgobviously taken before completion.

StallionProject86 Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Issue resolved my ECU was bad. Borrowing one now, new one on the way.

StallionProject86 Posted June 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) Yay and nay. I was wrong again swapped in the known good ecu and the problem returned. .Its still drivable thanks to the 87 ecu that I'm using but it's severely handicapped only boost to about 4lbs, back to the drawing board on this one. I was trying to figure out what the 87 doesn't have that the 86 does but no one has really given me an answer.

Blue Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Knock box/Ignitor bad? Boost leaks? One of those weird 86 only sensors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StallionProject86 Posted June 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) Is the knock box an 86 only? I didn't know that I haven't even messed with that.

Blue Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Is the knock box an 86 only? I didn't know that I haven't even messed with that. Do you know the symptoms of a bad one?Nah, as far is I know the Ignitor box/knock box is in all of them. I do not, off the top of my head, know the symptoms of a bad one though.Maybe some more knowledgeable member can chime in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StallionProject86 Posted June 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Hmm, I thought it was in all of them. I don't think it's an ignition problem though because I believe it would stay choppy with whatever ecu I put in it if that was the case, but it runs good with the 87 ecu aside from the boost issue. I'm thinking maybe the "pressure solenoid" is not functioning right. .I swapped it with the egr solenoid with three prongs because my stock one broke. .I thought others were running it that way as well but I'm not sure haven't gotten an answer to that either. That only leaves injectors or an injector that gave out on me. .even though I replaced them no more then 5 months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOOSTED88tsi Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 You need to pull that 87 ecu STAT. 86s run sequential injection AKA both injectors are firing at the same time all the time. 87-89 run staged, where the primary is supplying the fuel until 2500 give or take and then the secondary helps out. the knock boc/ignitior is the black box next to the coil they go bad on the 87 and unders all the time. the 88-89 is metal as is way stronger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't like running it the way it is but I've tried everything. .except for changing the knock box can you tell me what it'll do with a bad knock box? And can I swap mine out with one from any year?If I do need to change it. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOOSTED88tsi Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Most of the time it wont start lol due to no spark. 88-89 are the better knock boxes because they rarley go bad. Whats the car doing again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StallionProject86 Posted June 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 If that's the case I don't see why it works with an 87 ecu and not the 86? When I have either one of the two 86 ecu's connected it idles extremely choppy pouring out black smoke and black liquid. Unburnt fuel I'm sure. It'll rev out but when it comes to idling it's not having it. Now with the 87 ecu those problems seem to vanish with the exception of not going in to boost like I've stated. So that 87 ecu is bypassing something to allow it to run but also being restricted at the same time. I just don't know the differences between the two besides the primary and secondary injectors. Does 87+ run the pressure solenoid? Even though I've replaced that twice it hasn't once been with the oem part just the similar egr one. Don't know if that works the same though?
