omp line sucking in air
the omp has 4 bano bolts that hold on the omp lines that go up to manafold. one of the banjo bolts, well the omp is stripped inside for one of the banjo bolts. i cant tighten the bolt thus i cant seal it thus i suck up air, thus i can not idle. befor, my line was half air half oil. had air bubbles in it , so i took off the bajo bolt to see if the line was clogged or something and i found mettal shavings on the bolt. the bolt wasnt stripped the inside of the omp was.
i put it back hopping it would be alright but now i cant even idle it is that bad. i have tried to clamp the line closed ( 3 lines work and i am running premix)
but it still is sucking in air
i dont have a block off plate yet.... and i dont have the money to spend on one.
though it isnt that expencive. i really dont have 5-20$
how can i McGiver this?
like i said . i already tried clamping the line but it still wont idle.

thing is..... if the banjo bolt aint sealing the washers from sucking in air. because the bolt stripped the hole. i cant torque it down. so i dont get a seal. so it sucks in air.
-sigh-
does any one know the best way to plug the omp lines. this one is a newer line so its not britle plastic like old ones.

To fix it just to get the car on the move...I would say...chewing gum or something ghetto would get the car home. I would do it. Don't rag the on the car. I just cant imagine such a small vacuum leak would make the car run that poor.
Then I would try to source a used omp pump. They should be cheap. But if the one you have is stripped out there is nothing more you can do. Unless you have access to a tap.

Jessica, is it an S4 or S5? I assume from you picture that it is your car in the pic and it is an S4. I have one as a spare and will literally just give it to you. I don't have a 2nd gen anymore. Just parts. I'm in Houston so you could have it fairly quick. Let me know if you want it.

s4. i'll do the "chewing gum" thing for now. meaning.... a bolt with some thing to seal it. then i guess i'll replace it
i really dont wanna spend 6$ extra each time i fill up the rx7.
i already use some pre-mix in it though. just incase. concidering one line isnt working properly. its been like this for a while it only took me checking the line to push it over the edge -sigh-
