Hi, I would like to say thanks to all in advance for trying to help me out. My first post on the site, been waiting 7 days, but anyways heres the story:
I moved 2 years ago and left the car to my brother who messed with it while I was gone and now I came back and have to get it back in shape. Smog and just making it run better.
What I have on the car: New battery, new o2, Bigger Turbo (16g or revolution? i forgot), Blitz BOV, FMIC, Walboro fuel pump, Organic clutch, Muffler, K&N filter, its a 96 manual. I have other parts but not installed anymore.
I got the battery because sitting for 2 years it had to go out. Started up fine, but dies out once I hit atleast 2.5-3k rpm or whenever I hit boost. changed the O2 sensor, did fluid changes and added some additives. The smog inspection passed except it came out saying the MIL or something and needed to complete the run cycles. They told me to run it for a while then retest. I did and I drove like a month now, and its still failing the MIL. NO CELs, no codes. They told me the cause of the stalling was a bad Idle speed control motor. I got a used but working one and it worked for a 5 minutes and died again. I thought it was the stock bov, so I put in the blitz, worked for a few mins but back to the same thing. Its not a bad stall, like the rpm just drops. I dont think its a fuel cut.
When I turn on the A/C at 3k rpm the car kind of jerks back repeatedly and u hear a little squeek over and over. It would also squeek when I floor it, but ever since I put the blitz bov and its piping, it doesnt squeek or jerk back anymore only on A/C.
Another thing is that it never starts cold, like it doesnt warm up on a higher RPM, it goes to the correct idle after a few seconds only...
Im guessing the since i have the battery off to get change the stuff, the ecu resets and it works until it starts reading something bad. I'm stuck I dont know what to do and dont want to spend more money on what I "think" it is. =)
Sorry for the long post but I wanted to make sure I give as detailed as I can. Thank you.
