Hey guys, my hatch has been giving me some problems lately and i need to get it fixed because i failed emissions this past week.

1. They said that the fuel is leaking which i didnt know about. so my question is what is the stock fuel pressure on a B16 suppose to be? because imagine there would be a drop in pressure if there is a leak.

2. How can i check to make sure that the TPS is still working correctly? can i just hook a voltmeter up to it? if so what numbers am i looking for?

3. It need a valve adjustment bad. so what does the valve lash need to be set to?

4. They also had a hard time keeping the car on the rollers, the guy there told me that my frame *might* be twisted. on average how much does it cost to have a frame examined and pulled if necessary?

Im just freaking out about this because i have expired tags on my car and i gotta get this fixed by the end of the month or im in trouble. Thanks Guys!

 

Intake feeler gauge specs: .006-.007
Exhaust feeler gauge specs: .007-.008


tps - unplug it while its running, if it doesnt bog or die its broken.

 

Ummm.....I don't know about unplugging the TPS while the car is running. That doesn't sound like a good idea to me. You could cause the motor to rev up all of the way and damage something. Maybe I am wrong, but I would get a 3rd opinion on this before you try.

 

anybody got an opinion on this? what about the other stuff?

 

My car actually goes in tomorrow morning to have the frame pulled straight. It's going to cost me $160 and the turn around time will be one day.

 

if you test the TPS with a voltmeter it should be 0.5v closed throttle and 4.5v open throttle

 

what about the fuel pressure thing? if it helps i believe that the car is running off of a 90 STD fuel pump.
