well i had revvin shoot around with some starting fluid and found a humoungous leak on the half assed blocked off bac, nothing a little carpentry skills and rtv can't fix... that's right.. until i get a real block off plate in the mail i got a piece of wood up there

, there is another leak around my "newer" fuel rail. i'm thinkin a misplace injector grommet is the suspect. but is running much better at lower rpms

oh yeah my radiator caps are fucked so they will be replaced too, and i have found a lot of bubbles in coolant system, probably the reason for my occasional close call overheating...

We drove bigturbo's car around somemore today after setting the tps..

Still bucks on the low end, still WAY low on power. Compression is still at 80psi on both rotors. And the overflo coolant is bubbling, but the coolant guage doesn't read hot... Stock fan and shroud setup. Maybe the coolant ratio is off? Or are the coolant seals shot? But there is no smoke, car is still having flooding problems and won't hold an idle..

mine does the same thing till about 3.5k RPMS everyonce in a while. exept for the overheating and flooding... it floods everyonce in a while. and it doesn't overheat anymore but the temp gauge does not work.
