Before i take it to the shop..... or drive it in a lake..
took the S14 and it's SR out for it's first road day since the swap (only minor up and down road trips)... and didn't make it home.... drove into work just fine, lunch break boostin'... then on the way home... it's starts bucking, and bogging... OH NOES... home is 18 miles away, interstate... i have no idea what the prob is... but here's the symptoms if anyone can help me figure it out...
power steering hose, one of em, exploded the other day... that was fun, anyways, it prob sprayed all over the filter, and numerous other things...... this is just some background info that might be helpful...
okay... driving down the road, it's like I'm hitting a fuel cut randomly... missing or something, idle is rough, and sometimes smooth, then give it gas, and it acts like it's missing.. car runs and drives, cranks up like normal, but has those symptoms... now, it's a bit more aggressive than it sounds... as if my motor is dieing as I'm driving, but then comes back, dies, comes back stays smooth, then bucks/bogs...
i removed the air filter, thinking it may be clogged with PS fluid, and the engine acted like it wanted to die... then idled back up to normal...put the filter on and it surged...
during normal driving, the -hG should be around -10ish, give or take load... while cruising now, it sits at -21 and between -13 and -15 @ idle....
I'm leaning towards faulty MAF, but the ECU isn't throwing any trouble codes... I'm going to try and solve the problem with my 600CC injectors and Z32 MAF.. maybe that will help, i don't know....
it sucks having my baby parked in a wal mart parking lot over night... this will be the second night she'll be there... i may try to nurse her home, but I'm afraid of causing more damage...
could a stuck/seized turbo cause a problem like this? it has been making a funny noise from what sounds like inside the unit while boosting (rattle whistle is the best i can explain), and is getting laggy... and it's a low end built turbo...
CAS maybe? injectors?
sorry for the long post, but i try to be as detailed as possible for you guys....
