yeah ill take it to morwell tommorow and have it dyno'd so i can see what's wrong i guess.

i think ill try the fuel pump first then ill take it?

i really wanted to get the problem before taking it to get a dyno :nyaanyaa:

thanks for the help anyways and ill post whats wrong with it when i find out tommorrow.

Sounds like one of the many sensors is dead, the AAC is probably gunked up hence the bad idle and it probably needs a tune for the mods that have been done to it. All of these combined result in the issues you are seeing.

my oxy sensor is old and the plug has 3 wires going into it and one is just sitting in there.

the blue wire going into the oxy sensor looks damaged but would that be the reason?

whats the blue wire for?

cat converters are the most shitty things ever, iv bought 2 new ones in my life time and they cost about $150...

there only for the enviroment arnt they?

Actually they are a brilliant invention, without them we would have alarge amounts more smog and a large increase (im talking 20% of the pop) in asthma and breathign problems.

However if your cat is the original and 20 years old it is probably not doing anything anyway so no real harm with removing it.

    • He made that comment in my thread - In my case the vents ARE to lower engine heat, when the car is not moving, which is the only scenario I have heat problems with the aircon on, sitting in traffic, on 40C+ days. I can't imagine a scenario that this NC needs any at this point in time. I do not know if it will actually make my cooling when the car is MOVING worse, and I sincerely hope that won't be the case. If it does, well, um, f**k.
    • Nice, thanks. Thats why I was asking, there'd been a fair bit of discussion in the E90 world about vents and where it makes sense to put one (ie, over the filters is not great as that is inline or slightly behind the struts and in higher pressure area). I struggle with air flow and pressures. It sill weirds me out that a radiator in the boot can work. 
    • Neither really Vents, when located in the right place, will lower the engine bay "pressure", as air has a path to escape, thus lowering the engine bay pressure, thus.....improving the efficiency on the coolant stack (read: IC, condenser, radiator) This is why the Blits vented bonnet on my 33 worked so well, the vent was in the front 1/3 of the bonnet, which put it right after the radiator  If the vents are to far back toward the windscreen, which is a high pressure zone, it can actually force air into the engine bay, causing higher pressure and effectively loosing efficiency on the cooling stack, like the fab of raising the rear of the bonnet, which does allow heat to escape, but only when the car isn't moving  There's heaps of cool "fluid dynamics" info out there, but, I'll attach a video of a 'Merican joint that focuses on "Miatas" as I found it when looking into vents for mine, they explain it way better than me  
    • Poor bleeding. That stupid damping loop in the plumbing that should be completely replaced with a braided hose. Just the first 2 that come to mind.
    • Forgive the potentially silly question but are the vents for bay temps? I've been toying with how to reduce my bay temps because man, it gets HOT in there and a small subtle vent somewhere I think might help. Or, maybe they're to assist with just the intake temps?
