Recommended Posts

Guest r33gtsttrout

I have a problem!! its driving me nuts!! whenever im dropping back to second and flooring it my car seems to have a miss after a second. It lasts bout a second then dissappears.It does it whenever i really give it a bootfull. its mainly stock running 10 psi, and when im giving it to it it pops up to 11 psi for a brief second and this seems to be where it misses. its only starting to do this, and i've always had the boost set at this. yesterday i put new ngk iridium plugs, oil and filter, fuel filter, pod filter, injector cleaner, cleaned afm!!! guess what!! Problem still there!!!!

I've thought of maybe a boost leak, or fuel pump on the way out!! but i'm not sure!! I NEED HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

disconnect the battery and push the brake pedal afew time turn lights on whatever just to drain the resuming power from the system. Then reconnect the battery and the computer should be reset and re learn some sutff. Apparently it should be done after each engine mod so the computer can make the most outta it.

also heard that to reset the ecu you disconnect the battery and leave it disconnected for 24hours and reconnect it but i pressume that using the brake pedal and lights to drain the power out and doing it that way would still reset the ecu and is a heck of alot quicker

    • Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!
    • Got you mate. Check your email!
    • I see you've never had to push start your own car... You could save some weight right now...
    • Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol.
