Manifold pressure readings?
Hello all
Can anyone recall how
manifold pressure should look on a pressure/vacuum
gauge? I tested mine
at two places and got different answers - does
this seem to tell any of you
that I have found a leak? Please send your
thoughts!
Pressure
taken at fuel pressure regulator:
Idle: 18-19 in vacuum
steady
WOT: Maximum above 10psi
Pressure taken at
waste gate actuator control solenoid:
Idle: don't
remember
WOT: Maximum 5/6psi
I have been hearing
(what I thought was an abnormal) hiss coming from my
car under
boost.
Also, my car is running very very rich (10-14 mpg / exhaust
popping)
Thank you so much!

You should see
a pretty good "real" manifold pressure at this location, and
the vacuum
readings you are getting sound normal.
> Pressure taken at waste gate

> WOT: Maximum 5/6psi
This is
normal. The wastegate actuators open right around 6 psi and they
don't
see "real" manifold pressure, otherwise you would be limited to 6 psi
of
boost. Boost controllers set boost pressure higher by allowing
less
pressure to the wastegates, tricking the wastegate into thinking the
car
hasn't hit its preset boost pressure.

Sounds like you are losing air somewhere on the pressurized
side. Take a
real close look at all the hose connections all the way
from the turbo
output, to the intercoolers, to the Y-pipe, the Y-pipe itself
all the way up
to the throttle body, the connection to the compressor bypass
valve hanging
off the Y-pipe, and all the hoses coming off the intake
manifold. I'd
disconnect each of the hoses and take it off the car and
give it a good
examination. You've got a '91, so those hoses are over 9
years old now and
might be starting to have cracking problems so look
carefully for anywhere
that air could escape. Since your vacuum
readings are good, I'd suspect
something before the air gets into the exhaust
manifold. A severe leak on
one of the lines coming off the manifold
would probably get you some funky
vacuum readings, or at least less vacuum
than you are seeing.
If you are still having trouble locating the leak,
try a little water mixed
with dish soap on various portions of hose, go for a
very quick shot of
boost down the street and pop the hood and look for
bubbles. I have no idea
if that'll actually work, but if you can't find
the leak by disassembling
everything then its time to get
creative!
Hope that helps...

RE: Team3S: Off topic: Diffence - Moonroof/sunroof
I thought that the
distinction was in the INSIDE covering of the glass. Who
cares if it is
manual or automatic. Who cares if it is glass or plexiglass.
The
difference is, I thought, anything with a sliding piece on the INSIDE of
the
car was a moonroof. This keeps the sun out during the day.
Anything
without this sliding piece on the inside (like my 95 VR-4 with
headliner
carpet on the inside) is a sunroof. These may be backwards
but I think the
difference is if you can or can not block out the sun by
sliding an inside
piece versus completely opening or closing the
opening.
Mom's 1986 Acura Legend has (I seem to recall) a moonroof that
tilts up,
slides into the roof, and has a sliding cover on the inside of the
car that
reveals/covers the glass. My 1996 Honda Accord did the same
except it did
not tilt up. My wife's 2000 VW New Beetle tilts, opens,
and has a sliding
cover - the bonus is that this cover can be shut and the
roof can be popped
up to allow the sun to be blocked but fresh air to be
circulated. Great
concept.

Nono, even high temp exh.

You can simply buy a meter with a range of up to 100°C or less.
The best
temperature is between 30°C and 40°C for the intake but when the
car sits
around without cooling down it can be getting much hotter. Due to
the very
high discharge temps of the small 9b intake temps can go up to
93°C. Of
course it depends where you want to mount the temp sensor and
therefore
what type you will have to get. But the typical K-Thermocouples
are not
expensive.

Ugh, that doesn't sound good. It could be a sign of crankwalk,

what I understand a couple
of thrust bearings don't fill with oil
right, and when you push the clutch
in, it will move the crankshaft.
Does it stall every time you make a left
turn or just sometimes? Does
it make a funny noise when you push the clutch
in with the engine
running? Back to the left turn, does the clutch almost
not work when
making the turn (not able to change gears, or not engaging
correctly?)
. I know that they are trying to set up a class action lawsuit
for
mitsubishi because they won't put a recall out on the DSM's because
of
the problem. Crankwalk will get so severe eventually where when you
push in
the clutch it'll just grenade the entire
engine.
Hopefully that's not it though... we're still in the
process of an engine
swap on my friend's '95 Eclipse GS-T because it
happened to him.

Team3S: Update: Was Need Help
Hey There everyone,
Just thought I'd
update you on my Spyder.
Well, three of the pistons cracked due to the
lean condition induced by
yours truly,
thus explaining the zero
compression on the #1,4,6 cylinders. Good news was
that only
two
valves were bent and the head is rebuildable.
Soooo, to take
a cue from others on the list who have upgraded....
I have ordered: Ross
GTPRO pistons at 80 over, total seal rings, Pauter
rods, clevite
bearings,
new oil pump, water pump, timing belt, tensioner, and I'm having
the
heads/intake/plenum ported
and polished.
Still don't know if
the new 15G turbos are toast as they are just getting
the engine out
now.
Lots of piston debris in every clyinder from pieces getting shoved back
into
the intake and
distributed to all the ones which didn't break.
Joy
All total somewhere around 10k to rebuild, ouch...
Moral of
this story... Do NOT run your car lean under high
boost,
(1.15bar). It WILL die!! After
I had leaned it out it
burned up in less than 2 hours run time. I stll need
to take
some
pict's for my new wall of shame.
I know this is off topic but so
many people responded to my previous posts
that I thought
you deserved to
know.
Thanks again for all the suggestions
Troy

Ugh, please don't
drag the crankwalk stuff over from the Talon Digest to
here. Seems like
the answer to any question there these days is "Oh my god,
it is
crankwalk! Run for the hills! Kill your car before it kills
you!!!"
Okay, maybe that's a bit exaggerated, but it is the "answer" to far
too many
technical questions there lately.

Certainly folks can give you some pointers on
what to check...
It sounds like an ignition problem, so I'd start with
the connections to the
ignition packs. I don't know if there's one
connection that goes to all
three packs that could bring down the whole
ignition system, but you can
poke around there and make sure everything is
hooked up nice and tight. All
three packs are located near the
passenger side of the front valve cover and
have the plug wires attached to
them.
You can also check the connections to the cam angle sensors and
crankshaft
angle sensors. If the crank signal disappears it'll kill the
spark since
the ECU will no longer have any idea of when to fire injectors or
the coils.
I think it'll still run without cam angle sensors though, although
it fires
all the fuel injectors simultaneously instead in that failure
mode.
Inspecting these is a little more complicated - you might want to
peruse the
service manual for these or someone else can probably give tips on
where to
look on your year VR4.
Sounds like the dealer probably didn't
get something hooked up all the
way... Easiest way to find it would be
to use the scan tool to clear any
error codes, drive around with the scan
tool hooked up and recreate the
problem. It should* flag an error code
on a problem that severe.
Does the Check Engine light come on when it
stalls out? If it does, there's
a high probability that it is storing a
failure code which would be a good
hint to what's going on.
Since your
car was recently in the shop for the tranny replacement they
should hopefully
be willing to do the diagnostic for free to figure out
what's up. I
personally think they should fix the problem regardless since
they seem to
have caused it by what I gather from your message, but their
opinion may
vary.
