justcallmefrank Forums Junkie I supported Toymods Location: Perth Registered: May 2002	Project Decade Saga Continues Thu, 03 November 2005 23:37 Well, this weekend I'm going to make my last big effort to try and sort this POS out before I take it to someone. I'm fast running out of ideas, and barely being able to keep in front of a Magna this morning on 0.9bar was embarassing. Basically this is going to be a brain dump of everything I've tried. Whatever the problem is, it's going to be small, but alas everything I've tried to date hasn't worked. Hopefully by outlaying everything, it might trigger something with someone, or they might recognise a symptom. I hesitate to take it to an auto electrician, because I know I should be able to find the problem myself. The symptoms - Hesitates when it first starts up, chugs a little before coming up to revs. - When it finally does start cold, it blows a massive cloud of smoke, lumbers for half a sec then screams up to 2200rpm. - When it finally does warm up, the idle can vary anywhere from 800rpm to 2200rpm with no particular driving style favouring either end of the spectrum. - When idling, it pops out the exhaust, sometimes only a little bit, remaining smooth, sometimes quite pronounced. - Power is down, particularly in the upper revs, 4500rpm onwards it feels likes it's hitting a brick wall. Last time working correctly - About 2 months ago, for one night. We'd just changed the distributor over because it was throwing a code 12. It ran beautifully all night. Came back week later, topped the coolant up and car was back to running crap. Things replaced - Has a brand new set of NGK plugs - Has a brand new set of 8mm Magnecor leads - New 82 degree thermostat - Has a brand new dizzy cap Things substituted - AFM - dizzy - rotor button - coil/igniter - fuel pump - ECU Things tried/checked - Injectors cleaned - CSI not leaking - Voltages correct as per: http://users.bigpond.net.au/justcallmefrank/pinout s.jpg - Removed engine fan and listened for vacuum leaks, followed from AFM to TB and fixed any leaks encountered - All injectors clicking - ISCV cleaned - Boost seems to be holding fine - Not throwing any codes (other than speed sensor when I drive to work on freeway) Things checked by think need more attention - Earths. I've checked with a multimeter the main earths at the ECU pins. I made sure the ones I found on the coil/igniter and the underside of the inlet manifold were good, but I'm unsure if there are any other ones around the engine itslef to check. I'll add some more as I remember them. If any of the above triggers any sort of idea, just tell me, no matter how far fetched, i'll entertain anything atm.
