Hi,

I got a couple of problems with my FD3S. Here we go.

First, no spark at T1 coil. Car was still running very good 2 hours ago (difficult starts, that's all). I ordered my T1 coil this morning.

Second, I know my clutch has something... surely the bearing, I'm hearing weird noises at neutral when I don't press the clutch (goes away when I press it).

Ok, now I want to cry...

I just started it 30 minutes ago.

-Idles like ****.
-Black smoke
-Big loss of power
-And I think this is the answer... I hear a sound like if we throw a fork in a garbage of hundreds of forks... The sound is higher if the RPM is higher (we can't hear anything below 6k RPM). Could it be an apex seal traveling in the housing? I drove the car about 15 minutes in this condition and I still have that fork noise.

Tell me it's the transmission or the clutch and I kiss you. I don't give a damn.

But the engine was replaced August 2009....

 

quand tu essayes de la partir entends tu des puffs égales du moteur ? c`est quoi le vaccum au ralenti?.. au chaud ca demare bien ou non ?

 

Check your map sensor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11112222233333333333444444444 444444

(This is half-sarcasm)

 

HMMMMM! compression test

 

Je ne sais pas le vaccuum au ralenti. Ça démarre aussi mal (ou aussi bien) qu'avant.

Le idle n'est pas égal du tout en tout cas!

 

??????????

 

That's what I'll be doing tonight after the job. I can't sleep even if I have to.

 

Search 'map sensor.'

And stop with the French or I'm locking this thread

 

tranny's can sound pretty nasty.... but yea the first thing you should do is check your compression

 

Thats not nice

 

Compression checked... OK
All three coils + Wires + Spark plugs checked... OK
Unplugged the map sensor and the car stalled... OK

Now I have an extra problem... bouncing idle!

 

Ok let me see if i can brake this down.

when you blaa blaa blaaa motor. is something vacuum related..Go non sequential...

 

Sounds like a map sensor issue.

 

do a compression test.

 

Hahahahahahaha!!!


Here's the answer!

Oh boy

 

hahahah 2 funny

 

Now he just needs an "I <3 GoodfellaFD3S" (with pic) T-shirt. I saw teh stuff from DGRRX and laughed so hard I think I sprained my sack.

 

hahahahahaha

That's a funny vid.

 

I decree that he is forbidden from rocking the shirt until he cleans that filthy engine bay

 

As a motivation, may I have a pic of yourself please?

 

Hey guys I don't mean to jump in, but I have a question on this matter. I have never had a blown apex seal, but will a car still run with one bad or blown? Some people told me that it will run, but not great. And some people said it will not run at all. So I wanted to find out from you guys? Like I said I sorry to hump in, I just want to find out the question.

 

It all depends on the extent of the damage. In most cases, the car will run, but there are cases where there isn't enough compression for the car to operate.

 

does and 88 s4 fc3s have a map senser? is it located in the same spot? im having simalur problems lol
