here's a quick secondary troubleshoot guide:

1) Park car turn ignition to on but don't start it:
2) Check charge control is pulled in
3) Check CRV is open ie you can blow through it

if it fails 2 or 3 it's the vaccum storage/switching system. Pull vacuum hose off CRV listen for vacuum chamber filling.

4) leave CRV venting to atmosphere go for drive.
5) floor it in 3rd @ 3500 rpm you should hear the secondary start pushing a LOT of air out by the time you hit 4500rpm
if it fails 5 then :
a) it's the turbo control actuator (did you hear the exhaust pitch change?)
b) it's a major boost leak (this should be very obvious)
c) the precontrol system is not working

6) as you pass 4500 you should hear the venting abruptly stop.
if it fails 6 then it's the solenoids not switching pressure onto the CRV. Block off the CRV and do another run. If there is still no 2ndary boost its the secondary pressure hose that feeds through the LIM into the nest. (green/brown on the wargasm hose diagram)
If you got secondary boost with the CRV blocked then it's the CRV itself (unlikely) or the hose that connects it to the secondary (common).

Also check all your vacuum lines and all your solenoids under the UIM.

Hope this help.

 

lol, it would if i knew how to get to all this stuff....care to come over this weekend and help me troubleshoot?

 

I will let you know cuz just find out this weekend i have gear inspection cuz we leaving soon. because of all the training that we have we can only do the inspection this weekend.

 

Wow...weekend gear inspection..that's almost as much suck as field op on v-day (this guy)

 

anyone know if i can use a stock intake manifold on a streetport or do i have to get a different intake manifold

 

Yes you can still use a stock intake

 

iight im thinkin about puttin a streetport in my gxl. i got an engine already that macho built a couple years ago. just didnt know exactly wat i wud need

 

Wat are you trying to do put that engine in and keeping it stockish with a couples of mods you should be fine

 

Yea I got rb headers custom exhaust no cat kn airfilter. Probably msd ignition koyo radiator. Need to do omp block off and aux air pump block

 

that gonna be a nice gxl

 

Hi Guys,
Its been a while since I've been on here, I will be here more often now. I just got a 94 Touring 7. I am so happy!!! It needs a lot of work but its well worth it. Let me know the next time you are going to meet and I will come.
Danielle(Rain.)

 

^ hey good to hear that you got any pics from your touring. Are you still down in wilmington?

 

Yeah im still in wilmington. I took some pics i will upload them in a min have to resize

 

hope that these show up. sorry for the bad pics. I just bought him saturday, i have yet to wash and do a photo shoot. I picked him up from georgia.

 

hey rain, what color is it? just curious

 

what type of work those it needs

 

Montego Blue

 

Missing the right hand side headlight cover. Im gonna get 2 carbon fiber covers w/o the vents.
Needs new tires
Needs the rims refinished
Check for error codes.
I need to clean the grounding strap to the ecu. (When it has issues it tries to choke at 1/4 throttle. If we get it all tightened down it runs perfectly. then it gets loose again.)
Install horns
It came with a set of new brakes and rotors, have to install them and do a alignment.
and buffer the paint, wash and wax.
Which isn't bad to have to do all of this, it isn't very much to do. All the other cars we have had needed more. Considering the price I got a steal.

 

Oh yeah and it has only 54,000 miles

 

that are some simple fixes
hey if you need an ecu (factory) I got couple of them

 

Cool i'll let you know. going to pull the codes right now.

 

Ive been getting 16 (egr) and 27 (metering oil pump) we where trying a bunch of stuff to get it grounded well and changed to a new battery. We rechecked the codes and are still getting 16 (egr) but no longer get 27. I will have to keep an eye on him.

 

^Or you can block off the OMP and start premixing to be on the save side.

 

And for your ground. Do some additional grounding point, You can go to your local car audio store and get some 4gauge wire and some terminals.

Here are the grounding points:

-battery + terminal to alternator + post
-battery + terminal to starter + post
-battery * terminal to chassis (bare metal) at strut tower
-battery * terminal to top of block (where wiring harness bolts down)
-ground to alternator body
-ground to starter body

This gives clean, high voltage signal to the starter, alternator, and engine wiring harness/ecu.

 

What type of oil do you use for premix?
How hard is it to get to the OMP?
