So today, at the auto parts store, of all places. My car made a loud pop when I rev'd and released the clutch. Now its runs like crap, no power, won't idle, at 3,500-4,000 rpm its like it hits a rev limiter. Bouncing from 3500-4000rpm.

The funny thing is that after 1 month of hesitation, it just disapeared today, ran perfect all freaking day. I did notice that the right actuator is stuck closed. I tryed prying it, but it wouldn't budge. What do you guys think?

 

Could be a compression problem, but it sounds more like an injector problem...either a bad injector, a bad wire to the injector, or a bad ecu/injector driver.

 

Where are all the injectors? There are four right? Where are the other 2?

 

There are two on the top left side of engine, fairly easy to see. Other two are under the UIM I think. You gotta pull the UIM to get to them.

 

I was afraid of that. I did the ghetto compresion test, back rotor is VERY weak. Considering how it happened I don't believe it to be a stuck seal, it even made an audible pop. But I soaked both rotors in ATF anyways. Its blown anyways, so what the hell. I forgot one important thing though. I live on a very busy street, I doubt they will like me smoking up the place. Oh well.
