What's up guys. Well to make a long story short. I just finished a single turbo conversion, and I have been on my duno/tune date. Well I finally have one coming up on monday that I plan on leaving for tomorrow. Anyways, today I started my car, to let it warm up to operating temp, to drive it next door to have fresh oil put it before the tuning session. Well, about half ways across the parking lot, I went through one of the pot holes in our lot, kinda a rough bump. Anyways, as soon as that happened, my car backfired, and it started idling all crazy, and shaking. Car won't rev up. So far I've checked vacuum lines, both ends of spark plug wires, new plugs, normal fuel pressure on my fpr gauge. I just don't know what else to check. Could it be a worst case scenario, and a blown apex seal? Symptoms sound like it, but my car was at idle, and just barely moved out of it spot, far from seeing anything above 1500 rpms or any boost. Map sensor vacuum line is fine, I just don't know where else to look. Buddy is on his way with compression tester right now to make sure it's not a motor issue. Please shoot me your ideas, if it's an easy fix I'd like to get it squared up, so I can get my car on the dyno.

that should cover what matters...

 

got her figured out I guess.... I think it was just a loose plug on the AEM. seems to work fine now. off to the dyno.

 

Paranoia?

 

naw it definitely was running goofy as hell. must have just come loose since I don't have the aem securely fastened down yet. works decent again.

 

I honestly wouldn't bring a car to get dynoed somewhere if it was running goofy. Unless its the tuning thats off don't bring it. Make sure the shop you're getting dynoed at has experience with the aem and more importantly have good troubleshooting techniques with an rx7. Goodluck

 

the "goofiness" from the other day is sorted out. the car is definitely not running normal, but that is beceause I did a complete single turbo conversion, all new fuel system, all new ems etc. I expect everything to pan out 100% normal after some work with my tuner on monday. I will make sure to post results.
