HELP! event this weekend car is acting up for the first time. Bogs when flicked
I have an 86 NA FC. There is a picture of it below. It runs flawlessly in daily driving conditions and even hauling *** on the way to work. The problem is when I am hitting corners hard.
If I just enter and clutch kick its fine. But if I flick it or transition the weight more heavliy then it boggs out for a second. Everything still works electrically, it just feels like ignition is cut or fuel or something. It will only bog for a second or two then its perfectly drivable. But I cant drift it like this.
I recently added a ground wire that goes from negative terminal to motor and firewall. I added these after the problem started in hope of fixing it. Otherwise I have never opened my hood for anything. Bone stock NA with intake and exhaust. Also it does this with any amount of fuel in it. Also my car does the 5-beep warning sequence almost all the time. I doubt that will kill the motor when i flick it, but I know that sequence has to do with some steering sensor.
Help me drift more!!!!!

If you had the answers, you wouldn't be on here asking for help now would you? Youre starting to sound like the guy w/ the t2 swap in an fb, that refused to inspect his fuel system for 5 repetitive pages (and he still hasn't checked his tank).
Save yourself some time and just listen.
A dirty, our partially clogged sock could easily cause this type of issue and it takes 5 minutes to check--go do it. Also a shifting our compromised writing harness could be the culprit. I had a t2 that would idle like ****, but if you grabbed the harness between the pass strut tourer and the block and tweaked it, it would run perfect...until you let go. Turned out to be a combination of cracked injector clips and suspect grounds. How well is your battery secured? Have you joked up a volt meyer to moniter fuel pump voltage?
Theres a bunch of things that COULD be wrong, but a smart person verifies the proper operation of one component/system(typically starting with the most basic) first before moving on to inspect the next item. In this case that would be the fuel pump sock, so go check it before you post again.
Thanks.

this is partly the reason i get tired as hell of coming here to help people, when they refuse to listen and do a 10 minute job. we could start listing the most difficult things first like checking voltage and resistance levels at the ECU while the issue is occurring..................
if you don't like the answers then don't ask the question. or go spend $20k at wyotech and think you know something about cars, unfortunately you still won't.
it's annoying as **** when people whine/question about these things, even if you live in the sticks you can order a sock online for less than $15 shipped to your door in a matter of a few days. and it is a pretty damn good indicator when 4 people tell you to check the sock that it isn't an unwise $15 investment.

F**K THE SYSTEM!!
Is your battery tied down? Make sure it is not colliding witg power steering puley. Same exact thing happened to mycar during drift practice. Zip ties had broke and battery would slam into pulley causing a short bog. Found a big gash on battery shrtly afterwarda which is how I fnd out.

I already bought the part. I will be doing it tonight. I just enjoy understanding things as well. To me, I don't see the correlation between the symptom and the solution so I am asking. Thanks for the input guys.
junito: ya its all secured down well. Thanks

hose it down with PB blaster and let it soak in for a day or 2, re-soaking the screws periodically.
after that take a dremel with a cut off wheel and notch the screw heads for a flat blade screwdriver. cross your fingers and attempt to remove the screws, replace all with new stainless steel ones.
and welcome to my world.... i should take a video camera and document my life so people realize how shitty it is on a daily basis.
