As some of you know, I have been having a problem with the motor...and that is no power.
Well, here I am, weeks later and the turd still has no power.
Here is what I have done to this point:
1. Lowered the fuel pressure from 50# to 42#.
2. Pulled the plug on the knock sensor.
3. Added 2* ignition timing...then later subtracted 4* ignition timing...total setting right now = 8* (It was pinging really bad at 12*).
4. Even tried a different I/C with a blow off valve on it, still nothing. The car would die just about everytime I came to a complete stop, or pushed in the clutch to slow down.
5. Changed out leaking cam cover gasket.
6. Played with boost settings (max and min boost) and weird things happened at max boost (it acted like I had floated the valves in the motor when 25# hit...but it did pull at 18#: anything higher and it would start that damn stuttering/lag crap again and would not pull. The boost is set at 16# now and it acts like the world is tied to the rear end of the car.
I am going to check the voltages on the ECT/ACT/VAT later in the week (more than likely, next week ).
Would messing with the cam timing help any?
Any other ideas? Thanks for the ongoing help.
