Last night I replaced the secondary injectors with some 720's then replaced all the bad vacuum lines and IM gasket.

Now the car does not want to idle and while driving the turbo is much louder with a major loss of power.

Im guessing its a leak somewhere but where? I have double checked everything. Im boosting 3 psi on 2nd gear according to my gauge and I usually boost 6+.

Could it be that the new gasket is not sealing?

 

could be gasket.

could be vacuum lines.

could be injectors if you don't have any kind of engine management.

diagnostics sucks. get to work and get it over with.

 

A big leak is the most likely cause. Double check everything, and use the carb cleaner trick to find the leak.

 

I was trying to remember my HS auto tech days were we used the carb cleaner deal...could you explain that to me again?

 

Injectors really? I have a 1.7 rtek but I took it off till I figure this out.

 

Spray carb cleaner were likely vacuum leaks are, if the engine pics up in RPM then you've found your leak.

 

Ill be trying that today then. Hopefully is not the intake cause I really dont feel like taking that apart again.

 

The only catch in your case will be getting the engine to hold an idle while you spray carb cleaner. You may need to prop the throttle open a bit.

 

Tell me about it...I had to drive it to school today and it shot off in every light. Ill get someone to hold it for me.

 

it's probably were the injectors were put it, if you can, try to spin them and if they are too tight to spin in place, then you need to pull them out and put them back in, i've put them in wrong before, its a common, oops!

 

You may have left unplugged some sensors, such as the Air Control Valve. Also, check and see if when installing the injectors any of the wires was pinched. Your Intake Manifold may not be sealed. Did you eliminate something or installed block-off plates? Because if so, you are going to have a hard time just as I did. Good Luck!!

 

So after school I drove to Auto zone bought carb cleaner and RTV to put on my intake just in case it was that. Right when I get home I go around the engine bay looking around and right away I find the hose that goes from the BOV to right under the TPS unplugged....WOW.

So my idle is fixed and now I boost like before but the power loss is still there when it comes to high RPM. I think its because its too much gas (Maybe) so I will now put the Rtek back on and see how it runs.

 

umm....yea.

That stock ECU thinks your 720's are 550's w/o the RTek, as soon as your secondaries come on, any hopes of power will be dashed. Replacing the Rtek should fix that problem.
