Well, changed the fuel filter today. Changed back to stock ignition, and back to 2GCDFIS, checked timing and looked for vacuum leaks. Still no changes.

Here are the symptoms:

Poor idle- Bounces from 600-900 rpm
Hesitation at idle during tip-in. Sometimes will stall at tip-in. Have to tap pedal 3-4 times to get engine rpms up.
After 3k RPM at cruise, engine bucks and stutters.
At 5500 WOT engine stumbles and falls on it's face.
After INITIAL let off no matter what throttle posistion i was at, a very LARGE and noticeable buck is felt, then normal decel. There is no bucking during decel after the first initial large buck. A dashpot won't solve this one.
Symptons seem to disappear during 1/2 to 7/8 throttle, until around 5400 rpm, where stuttering appears.

 

does it idle like a harley?

 

For the most part if you wanna describe it like that. It sounds like it has a MASSIVE cam in it, if you wanna go that route. Only at idle tho. Literally bounces from 500 to 900 rpm at idle. Back and forth back and forth.

 

yeah blew a seal i beleive thats what my 12a sounded like

 

nobody needs a good daily driver for $2500. anyone know anybody with a tow dolly for sale? in case i dont sell my Saturn

 

Noah,

My wife's cousin may be interested. Tell me about it, what year, condition, etc.

PM me about it if you want.

 

I had no problems with it until I put the new carb on. I doubt I blew a seal. It pulls hard and idles fine at 1000-1100 rpms. I think it's running outta fuel and something's wrong with the idle circuit.

 

surging like that sounds like a vacuum leak.

dale

 

in that case go for the vacuum leak

 

Brian,
A busted seal will idle poorly but will pull up top just fine. It does sound like a vacuum leak though.

 

I'll check tomorrow and see what I can find. Good 'ol carb cleaner usually finds it nicely. Don't try this at home kids.

 

^^^^why not ive done it

at work we usually run trucks by having sumon sit on a fender with the hood up spraying carb cleaner into the tb or carb lol its pretty funny

 

Hot headers and spraying carb cleaner around the manifold usually isn't a "safe" mix.

 

well on v8 trucks the headers are a nice 1.5 feet away

 

LOL, mine are about 4 inches away and directly below the intake. Not to mention it drips on the headers.

Anyways, no vacuum leaks, timing is right. I think I'm runnning out of fuel do to fuel jets being too small. If that isn't it, Sterling's sending another carb. Hopefully it'll be right then. If it's not that, I'm going to say new motor time.

 

Does anyone have goood s4 TII rotors up for grabs? I know this isn't the FS section, but it doesn't hurt to ask right

 

Has anyone heard where Will is working nowadays . I just found out that he has / is closing his shop "Autodemics" over in Cheasapeake. His cell is not working.Just trying to catch up with him ???

Anyhelp would be great ,

Va

 

I'm new to the area and I need some help. I need a new paint job asap any info on a good shop at a reasonable price would be great thanks.

 

my apex turbo timer was just bought hehe

 

I need a TII. Preferably stock and running. Anyone know where I can get one? Looking for an S5, but I'll take an S4.

 

i know
i know
theres a place off of 17 called blackies or sumthin and they have a s5 tII running

when i asked it was 3500 but when my bro asked it was 5k

 

Stay away from this car . It not Blackies , Its English motors . they have had this car for awhile . They removed the old motor and got a JsPEC, but it still wont run . He is asking way to much for this car . He asked me to work on it and I have shied away . If you want it let me know and I'll do the best I can for ya , but this guy wont budge much .


Good luck

 

alos its a S 4 88 model

Bump

 

my bad lol

 

Gonna give up on your carb already Bryan??? I played with Brianna's car's carb a couple of weeks ago and it is running better than it ever has. I would almost call it running perfectly. I think the engine is really only now getting broken in well now. I always had a bad attitude about carbed RX7's but this one now has my mind changed.
