I need help with FD please
 
I kinda brought the car the way it is. It runs but not that great. I have no idea what all these lose wires are. Can someone help a noob out. Oh and something about a low fuel pressure. Thanks

Nevermind, I have someone coming over to tune the car. Maybe he can fix all that mess.

catch-22 10-31-09 06:03 PM

you bought a 3rd gen and you dont know anything about the car :0

tt7hvn 10-31-09 06:35 PM

that bad boy looks like it went non sequential, all the solenoids have been removed

and you def should scourge the depths of the search button and get yourself a manual

GoodfellaFD3S 10-31-09 07:32 PM

I'd recommend slapping the previous owner across the face for the mess he made in that engine bay :lol:

rescueranger 10-31-09 08:03 PM

looks like your wastegate control and turbo precontrol wires .. also looks like you dont have a air pump so that looks like one of the wires that goes to that .. i dont know too much about going single .. but looks like you have 2 air filters .. maybe the previous owner went poor mans single?

I have Chuck W (cewrx7r1) thats going to tune it for me.

badddrx7 11-01-09 06:46 AM

Chuck is not only going to tune, he's going to start from scratch and fix a jacklegged mess first ! Be ready to spend some more money. Now if you done your homework and researched the FD for about a year first, well the outcome would be different.

Your coolant cap also says Evans only (cap also looks like a 0psi I THINK), I would definitely look into your FD more thoroughly and research evans coolant if you haven't already.

I try reading about this stuff, just doesn't make sense to make to me. Good thing I have money, got to have money if you wanna play with FDs.

Yes I am aware of the Evans.

I'd put that car back to stock and go from there.

It's pretty much stock. Just has a Powerfc and wiring is kind of a mess, that will be on the to so list.



But like I said within a week or two week, I'm going to have someone to look at it.

Sgtblue 11-01-09 05:06 PM

No offense, but tuning your car now would be like putting a $500 saddle on a three-legged horse. Get it sorted out and running decently first.

vh_supra26 11-01-09 05:36 PM

No shit :bigthumb:

4CN A1R 11-01-09 05:42 PM

i would tear out everything and start over. that looks just plain ugly dude

vh_supra26 11-01-09 06:14 PM

I'm going to let him look at it and see what he wants to do about it.

On a side note I'm looking for a front bumper cover. A 99+ would be nice but the 93-95 would also work if the price is right.

96fd3s 11-01-09 09:38 PM

looks like your missing a throttle body coolant hose too.
(although i understand this can be deleted)

GoodfellaFD3S 11-02-09 07:34 AM

I definitely see a brand new engine wiring harness in your future, if you brought your car to our shop that would be a non-negotiable.

Between Chuck and Kyle Krutilek (and your wallet) they'll get that sucker sorted out :icon_tup:

vh_supra26 11-02-09 10:06 AM

I don't who Kyle is. I think I'm just going to stick with Chuck.
