well..yesterday i told fuji and the guys to come to my work place(como zoo) to follow me home...so we drove home and then ....my car was choking...then it ran fine..later when i got home..parked the car...turn it off...then it died..well..can anyone tell me if anything is wrong ...or....what...??let me know... wagonL
Did you happen to change out plugs and wires to new ones when you switched plants? Heat and humidity can make for a hard start or poor performance when your plugs and wires are going.
no..well...im planning on doing that on friday...do you think that is the problem? because the car will choke...then die..i believe it has spark, fuel, air, and it does also crank...well..let me know more.
make sure you have the ground wire in back of the engine connected! check cam/crank sensors, a bad maf would do this also
You have a 2.5 ECU in there too right? To make sure it isn't the MAF sensor just unplug the MAF and see if the car will run in limp mode OK. I think the rev limiter is 3k or something like that in limp mode but you can drive it like this for a while if you need to use the car while you get a new MAF sensor for it. It wasn't a MY99 2.5 engine was it?
well..its not a ej25 ecu..just my stock ecu..yesterday i changed the cam sensor and crank sensor to my ej18 ones..and it didn't start..this morning i tried and to start it..and it STARTED!!! i was so happy...i ran it to work and back..with no problems..that is weird...i dont know what i did...but...it doesn't choke or nothing now...but..at least it runs..hopefully until i get some cash to change the plugs. wagonL
Plugs are cheap as hell. Just get four NGK copper plugs and drop them in. I think the model number is BKR6E-11. If you get the wires from the dealer make sure to get the wire set with all four in it, it cost something like $40. Plugs are only $2 each. Go get them all at Morrie's in BP and get the discount on them. I like to take off the stock airbox and the washer fluid reservoir in order to get easier access at the heads but otherwise changing plugs is pretty simple. Can't recall what the gap is on the stock EJ253 though...
eh Dao, kinda lost your clipper some kids stole it but i'll send ya a new one, and about the pipe bender came to pick it up but you weren't home, and if i do sell it the $$$ is coming back to you
