Tune Weekend v4.0 - Oct 15/16 - Molendinar

If they pop out I found jamming long nose pliers in there and pushing down on it keeps it from coming out

 

[Nitephyre]

Um, yeah... 16-18psi = gogo daddy! from the back seat via Abi

cheers Steve, I realised I had superfluous hoses... car is kinda scary now :O

*edit*

Hmm, something is fishy... on the way home, I booted it from first at some lights and prolly at about 5krpm or so it really bogged down choking so I changed to second, loud pedal some more and it did it again and backfired a tad. Slightly concerned as it was driving fine all day but also once I got up to speed it was fine again. *confused* :/

 

[Nitephyre]

I'm still having some issues under high boost load, it seems to be either misfiring or flooding (can EFI do that?), it loses power and splutters. Suffice to say I'm a bit confused, worried and a tad annoyed

 

[godzilla]

Coil packs or plugs. Sorry mate but i reckon that'll be it.

 

[VOLK]

+1 spark.

Steve would've pulled a whole bunch of fuel out so Dr Trev's verdict is where it's at.

 

[TME_Steve]

Yep, plugs, packs, leads....

 

[godzilla]

"Shouldn't" be leads he has the top guns

 

[TME_Steve]

Likelihood in the order I said I reckon, easiest to clean coilpacks though so start with that....

 

[naughtika]

i reckon its the plugs or the leads..

coilpacks are fine mate, they are fine..

 

[TME_Steve]

are they clean though?

 

[Nitephyre]

Mmmm, I was thinking something spark related. Time to buy some contact cleaner and try to clean the coilpacks it seems. :/ Cheers lads.

 

[TME_Steve]

Them first, then spark plugs

 

[godzilla]

Matteh, how many k's have you put on yours since the plug change we did? That was over a year ago now, right?

 

[Nitephyre]

Ugh, plugs already? what a bitch :s

Quite possibly Trevorino, I'll look in my thread.

Anyhoo, I got some CRC contact cleaner... can I use that on the MAF as well?

 

[godzilla]

Yep, in the plug.

Remember, the NGK Iridiums seem to only last 10-15k or so.

 

[naughtika]

10-15k's?!

how the f' do you guys drive your cars? i know mine lasted for at least 25k's before it started to crap itself..

 

[Nitephyre]

I've done 23,670ish since 17/09/10 when we did the big service, new plugs, brakes etc Trev

So CC can't be used to clean the MAF hot wire?

 

[godzilla]

NOt sure about that. Sorry

 

[VOLK]

Crc electrical cleaner is fine to use on maf mattman.

Ps, not hotwire, it's Karman Vortex
