18633, now the problems start....any ideas.......
Posted by speedracer21, Mar-28-02 01:47 PM
Well 1st it was what i thought to be a messed up axel, turned out to be a bent dust shield rubbing on the rotor.
2nd it was a coolant leak, whitch i just fixed in the parking garage at work.
3rd the car heated up, due the loss of coolant, and thanks to the dif it shut off i think, got coolant let it cool down started up fine
4th it died on me 2 times in 5 min, nothing seams to be wrong (not hot) but i'm wondering if its a fuel problem or jsut casue i'm breaking it in... every time it dies its at idel and rough (only 14 miles on the car now)
then after it dies, it takes a few tries to get it back going, and i usually have to press the gas pedel down while cranking...
Could this be cause i left the stock fpr in its place.. i did cap off the line and run the new line form the 1:1 to the spot in the tank where the stock fpr connects.....

well i've adjusted the idle to about 1100 and it seams to idel fine. no vibration, or rough idel, and the car seams not to want to die. But i checked the plugs and boy were they black



and thats with only 14 miles on the car :-(....
i so need to order the calmap, i might just do that this weekend

mine that plug looks as bad as mine...cept mine were like that from running ~3000 miles with 30lb injectors and a 12:1 fmu, just a _tad_ rich..

im wondering how urs got so bad in just 14miles...break-in miles to boot (your not even boosting yet, right?)
