Re: d16z6 overheating/pressure prob

Well some people do not understand that your cooling system is SUPPOSED to be under pressure.

Re: d16z6 overheating/pressure prob

You need to bleed the cooling system, it is supposed to build up pressure in it though.

Re: car wont start after installing cams**This is NOT a NOOB Question!!

You should be able to check it while cranking, the light will still pickup the No.1 Cylinder's pulse, it will just be slower. It is worth a shot I'd say.

Re: Boosted GSR running VERY RICH after HG replacement, please help

Is the car tuned? maybe the injectors are staying open too long? A 550cc injector will push alot more fuel in the same amount of time as a stock injector.

Re: remove sway bars? also q bout bushings...

Over stiffening and dampening can reduce traction based on road conditions and quality, I believe but there may have been other reasons.

Keep the swaybars, they are needed. I remember reading that body roll shouldn't be corrected solely via increasing spring rate.

Re: car wont start after installing cams**This is NOT a NOOB Question!!

Keep us posted, sorry for making it seem like I am treating you like an idiot but its better to confirm the bases (spark, fuel, comp) and confirm how they were tested before jumping to conclusions.

Then signs point to an ECU issue. see if you can find someone local willing to swap ECUs for a minute to test them before you order a new one.

By gap tester I mean the style tester you plug into the ignition wire and then have a screw connected to ground, you can adjust the distance with the screw to see how strong the spark is.

Re: car wont start after installing cams**This is NOT a NOOB Question!!

How do you mind if I ask, did you confirm fuel? Did you check both Fuel Pressure, and using a NOID light check if the Injector is Firing?

Where did you check for spark? Did you check at the plug...

Wait for the ecu, and check the head, buy a kit to check for hydrocarbons in the coolant system.

Better off running the stock motor, and putting the money into wheels, tires, and suspension work.
