just finished rebuilding my 88 turbo. it was burning tons of oil. i replaced my oil controle rings.
whyle i had the motor out i ported the wastegate removed the twin scroll welded the hole shut and a complete emissions remove
it idles @1200 and has a slight missfire i want to time it to try and solve the missfire but i cant get the idle down any ideas?

 

Throttle cable binding
Throttle stop needs to be adjusted
Intake vacuum leak

yes. idle should be down lower. reted is right, check mechanical things that could cause throttle to be high first.

 

The slightmissfire I have too, its weird, its like 1 missfire out of like 12 -20 proper fires... weird.

Also, if you did the emissions removal, you probably missed a plug to cap up, check everywhere doubletwice.

 

Install a vacuum gauge too...

 

Check to make sure you didn't cross your your spark plug wires.

...short story...

Back when I got my first FC, I thought it sucked. I was used to driving a P-Type Supra and the power and acceleration of the FC was a HUGE disapointment to me. Then, about a year later, I put all the right sparkplug wires on the right sparkplugs and it was like a whole new car.

 

what king of engine damage will that cause/if any?
