Vacuum Leaks!
#1
cuoldn't figure out why the car was running so badly and eating spark plugs like candy so i take the car to Turbo Tune(a local shop that deals with anything turbo or supercharged) to help me figure out what is going on. we strap the car to the dyno to run the engine under load, as usual running like crap. check the a/f ratio its running like 18.0:1 at 2k rpm under partial throttle!!!! needless to say i was very afraid.
ends up being more than a few vacuum leaks, the injectors and the block-off plates are the ones we narrowed down. made new gaskets for the block-off plates, they're sealed up. went and got new o-rings for the injectors, they seem to be sealed up. still getting un-metered air from somewhere, real bad too. the only place i can possibly think is the gasket between the LIM and the block, anywhere else under the intake manifold that could be leaking air? any ideas are helpful fellas.
