well it seems to be an intake gasket let loose that should cure my lean code but it doesnt explain why it was breaking up at 5800 rpms ill keep everyone posted thank for the help
well its been a few days how the car coming ? is it running better ?
did it fix your problem >
cars almost done. had to send my injectors back so they could get checked and have new hats ans seals to make sure there top notch will let everyone know what the out come is. Hopefully ill have the injectors back by monday or tuesday
sent my injectors back to fuel injection connection to get checked well the us postal service seem to loose them so i gotta wait for them to do investigation this sucks.car still broke
well after all the crap taken apart and new gaskets new injectors problem still there .Anybody else have a clue whats going on with this thing?If the timing wasnt set right when the motor was put together would that cause my problems?if so how do you check without tearing the valve covers off?
Try cleaning your maf and iac like said before and you could also clean your act sensor too. Maybe you could be getting some kind of voltage drop in the high rpm range? Does your electrical system check out. Just shootin ideas out into the blue!?!
well the guy i had put my motor together screwed my timing up.Tore it all apart to find one cam a head a tooth the other behind. Got timing straight but still having problems.lean bank 2 help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
mine was having a lean problem too > I had to reset the code twice > > just run the car for a few days and see what happens > I run with no cat's too > I had to do the o2 spacer trick to turn off the low catalist code .
it will take up to 80 miles for a computer to relearn it sensors>
its funny because my car was throwing the code within 5 to 10 miles.i think it needs new tune.Im sending car back to dyno shop this week hopefully they get it running alot better.so far i havent had any codes which is weird because i deleted my imrc and didnt get retuned but only get a secondary code for bank 2 imrc stuck closed damn computer.no check engine light.
I don't claim to be an expert by any means and I really hate to hear that your car is not 'right' yet. Here's my 2 cents.
Your original post stated that "out of the blue it would not rev over 5800" so the valve timing was not the source of that problem.
I suggest going back to the basics. It only takes 1 or 2 plug wires and/or plugs to make a V-8 run like crap at high RPM. Drop 1 cylinder @ 5000 rpm is like running a V-6.
