There she blows

Well another motor bites the dust. I was driving down the road just chillen listening to the radio and then POP uh what was that? So I start to notice a loss of power and then finally when i pull into the coin laundry mat it wouldnt start back up. Great?

I finally got it started and didnt understand why it was running so good above 3500 rpms but so shitty below. First thought was the injectors but that wasnt it so to make a long story short I put a tester on it and walla 75 psi on the front 85 on the back.... Geez

So that leads to the question
Is it time to get rid of the GTU?
I mean this is the 2nd motor in less than a year.

Those numbers are not so bad, your car should be able to run pretty decent

I think the primary injectors are not firing correctly.
check if they get pulse. if they do, you may want to have them cleaned or you could swap with the secondaries and see if run better.

check your fuel system before completely dismissing the engine.

If you love the car then keep it but if you are tired of it and burnt out you might want to think about something else. That is they way I see it when it comes to my cars.

I was about to say.

I have 175k mile on my engine and have an even 75psi on each face and on each rotor and mine still runs pretty well.

Do you realize its susposed to be ~120psi. Those numbers are horrible. Plus there is quite a large gap between the comp on front and rear rotors. Id just rebuild it, compression is already falling off.
