i fixed everything and my starter the car started up fine...so i went for a drive.



i didnt really push it hard at all only drove for about a mile total...but on my way back i went to neutral at a light and it was ilding at like 500 and i pulled over and was dripping coolant



im almost home so i turn it on and drive back no more coolant leak .. but at the next light its idling shitty again and mad smoke ....i had to keep it alive with my foot



smoke smelled like fuel and when it fired back up it was ******* rediculous smoke....at idle the vac wasnt bad

like i told you before, get your ass to sears and get a compression testor.

so dripping coolant, low idle, smoke that smells like gas ..



what color is the smoke, where is the leak, and what all is taking off your car that effects your idle?

Convert to TXT files buddy!



Low idle hmmm, Haltech doesn't care about vacuum leaks.

Just makes it idle higher...

k compression test revealed 60-60-60 on both rotors... using a LBS/sq inch meter from sears



the rear rotor plugs were DRIPPING wet from fuel...so ive come to the theory that the rear rotor is flooded and the front is ok..letting me run but not well



i unflooded the engine...but the autoparts store was closed = no new plugs



fikse is coming over around 930 and letting me use his extra set of 9's...



stay tuned

Isn't this a fresh rebuild?

FrestyleFC3S 02-10-2004 05:19 PM

yeah it is

What other readouts do you get on that datalog? I dont have a program to open it... is it text based?



A/F ratio at idle? Maybe something is interfering with the intake passage for the rear rotor? Injector malfunction?
