I just bought this car:
http://www.3si.org/forum/f10/93-vr4-...des-8k-648593/
It runs and seems to work pretty good there are just some minor odds and ends i need help figuring out.
ac still doesnt work but i keep trying things and ruling them out so sooner or later somethings got to give.
update the car stalled the other day. it would go and then die down to where you are almost flooring it and it barely goes and slows down then it would kick back in and out until it died completely. now it will turn over and 'start' but you can get it running for more than .5 seconds, it starts and dies.
it did something very similiar to this before and it turns out the silicone hose that goes to the BOV came off the pipe (aftermarket) to where it was literally just haning there disconnected. connected it and the car started running fine.
the difference is tho that the next day after the first incident, tho it behaved so poorly the night before the next day it started basically right up, i just had to hold the gas a little. then after a few minutes i could let off the pedal and it wouldnt die. it just ran rich/lean, def not 15.0 afr like usual on the wideband. just go lean then rich, say for example 11.5-17.5
after that little escapade it worked 'fine' when the bov was reconnected. idled pretty good, drove ok. but i had a feeling it was never quite back where it should be completely. AFR isnt a solid 15 like before. it flucuates some. not much but some. throttle response lags from time to time.
and the Fuel pressure regulator (fpr) has been ticking ever since i got the car. it seems to randomly tick. i can attempt to make it tick by giving it just a little gas and sometimes that like make it go tick tick tick tick tick tick tick.
what should the fpr read? at idle? revved?
what should the oil pressure read? idle? revved?
i think it certainly could be a boost leak again. but maybe it was 2 things all along.
but it drove fine for a few days. took it for some joyrides, didnt really get on it much. and the other day it did what i said and acted up. now it wont start and idle.
i think there is a boost leak somewhere but cant seem to find it. i disconnected the battery in hopes to rest the ecu.
i also think there is something off with the fuel/oil pressure. the fpr ticks every few minutes a little bit pretty much everytime i drive.
the oil pressure seems to be a little lower than maybe it used to be. 30-60 at idle. 90 when revved. more like 30 lately at idle.
fuel pressure just trying to remember but like 30-45 at idle.
thoughts? no i dont think its a serious issue. car seems to drive ok before. fpr used to always be just around 15.0, unless you floor it, then more like 11.5-12.5
i know its something small.
how can i adjust the fpr? there is a little hes screw but idk if it does anything.
input?
