    clutch cable

    more issues... ok so i got the clutch cable connected down at the fork, who knew i needed to wrench the fork forward to lessen the pressure from what i assume was the pressure plate. so scratch that off the list. next up: next problem arose when i hopped in to start the car, my foot and the...

    motor problem

    and yeah for the record, the car didnt really want to run with the maf disconnected, she kept sputtering out.. but we got it to a good clean run anyways. thanks all for the help

    motor problem

    ok so we solved it. the bracket that holds the 2 thottle cables on was bent way out of whack (dunno how, not asking either) but long story short we got the car to run beautifully. was a matter of getting the bracket back into shape and then adjusting my idle back down and car is sitting great at...

    motor problem

    havent really tried it, thought about i think, but not sure if ive tried it myself. gonna go up to the car tomorrow and try that, as well as unhook the wastegate so that the turbo has very little to do with air flow... as well as check absolutely everything on the turbo side for vac leaks.. i...

    motor problem

    so i retract part of my initial statement, the revs go up to about 3-4k... sounds more like a vacuum leak at that point shouldnt it? also what is the little box in the front passenger side of the engine bay, towards the nose of the car that has what appears to be a vacuum line hooked up to it?

    motor problem

    yeah thats what i thought, and even if it was, the car is at IDLE not in boost, the car hasnt even seen boost yet. we are leaning towards some kind of leak with a couple things turbo side now, at least we have it troubleshot down to a single area... ah the fun of a project car :bang:

    motor problem

    yeah if anything i was looking for the 87 tc la ecu.. i hear its the best. any one say why its the best/if thats not true? im looking for one for maybe like $50, that seemed to be the average going price when i was looking for them

    motor problem

    ive been looking for one of the TC ECU on like ebay and a couple other places but they usually get snagged up pretty quickly. any one know of a good place to look for them?

    motor problem

    yeah i know about all the things i need to get in terms of ecm vam and injectors. injectors i have planned, but really running an FMU takes pretty decent control over my fueling. all im looking to do at this point is to get the car started and running normally at idle. im not even worried about...

    motor problem

    im running a boost controller so i will check that. my maf is right after the cone filter, so its before the turbo. and yes the car is a 92 with a stock ecu. to the best of my knowledge though i should have no issues with my current set up with the car sitting at idle. when i get into boost that...

    motor problem

    im leaning towards the EGR valve right now, i think the computer is confused because it thinks the EGR is still hooked up and open all the way. what ive been reading is that when there is a problem with an EGR valve it acts like a huge vacuum leak and when you have a vacuum leak, you get high...

    motor problem

    and ill state again that we have removed the EGR completely.. do you think maybe that would do something like this?

    motor problem

    thats what i was thinking that the ecu is maybe confused, but heres the deal. its the stock ecu for the n/a motor, im using a FMU to control the fuel so the car shouldnt have any issues.. because im not even in boost yet. when you start the car up, it revs all the way to the red line.. doesnt...

    motor problem

    do you think that because we deleted the EGR off it might have anythign to do with it? my understanding of egr is that it is just emissions stuff.. we took the air intake manifold off, and had to weld a bead into the opening for where the egr mounted up, but that bead should be solid so there...
