artinist Posted July 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 no mine would totally cut out and barely run once the coil started acting up.any chance one of the sensors like tps,temp,map could be out of calibration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heefner Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 I check all the sensors on the engine monitor screen and they all read what I would expect. It starts, runs for 10 seconds smooth then goes way lean and pops and misses. I swaped the entire Tec unit coils and all and it had no effect. I'm grasping at straws now. I plan to drain the tank and put in some fresh fuel. I may pull the intake to verify that its not sucking in coolant at idle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artinist Posted July 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 also check for a low battery voltage or a fuel system clog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heefner Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 Batery is 15+ volts I'm about to tear into fuel system. My gauge is reading on the return line 50 psi at idle and it goes up 1:1 with boost. Now I'm thinking maybe some bad fuel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artinist Posted July 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 why do you have FP set so high? with the vaccum off, it will be even higher. you should try setting it around 37 psi with the vaccum disconnected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heefner Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Its always been that way, I've never messed with it and have never had any issues with it. :? I changed my intake gasket to the flepro, cleaned some gunk out of the fuel filter and it still pops and and idles way lean. Compression test yeilds +/- 4% across the board. Plugs look good it runs ok out on the street anywhere above 15 inHg, it just idles like poop. I'm going to do a leak down test on it wed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cudabnu Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Have you tried the Ol' spray some WD40 or carb cleaner on fittings and the intake flange to see if you getting any air leaks? If everything is reading where it is supposed to, then it sounds to me like extra air is getting in after the TB. You could also pressure test your system, and see if you hear any air leaks.
