the east coast is just getting fahked this year...this sucks. i had HIGH hopes of running monticello this year

 

Damn, more tires to choose. It only looks like they changed the compound a bit, not design.

I still don't think anything can compete with RS-3's, am I right?

 

Depends on what you mean as far as compete.





My car didn't want to run again just now after lunch. Turd keeps it up, its gonna get replaced.

 

in dry grip for a 140 treadwear tire they are hard to beat.

 

check your maf sensor... make sure the honeycomb is still in place.

can't really think of anything else other than a vacuum leak.

 

Mesh was fine when it was out the other day... I'll check again though. The thing that pisses me off the most is it's totally intermitten. If it was an issue all the time, it would be easier to trouble shoot.


Fuel pump, TPS, cam sensor...? I have no friggen idea...

 

<- this fool has a minty MAF sensor since the car was converted to SD at 5k miles. Just saying.

 

There's won't be a code for fuel pump failure but there will be code for TPS or cam sensor.

 

SO feelin you on this right now! Bought heater hose to eliminate the heater core from the equation. MY problem is weird too, for no reason car temperature shoots up to H and then back to normal when I first start driving (after warming it up a few minutes). I hope that the heater core is clogged and that is why my cooling is so whacky.. Another question, why the hell is my car pressurized? You can hear air escaping out of oil cap (this started after we boost leak tested car and plugged some leaks). I had to bend the tabs on oil cap to stop oil from seeping out.

 

more than likely your HG is on its way out... Hot exhaust gasses are getting into the cooling system thru the combustion chamber, thats probably why the needle is moving like that and why you hear air coming from the oil cap.

 

just reg'd for NARRA @ NJMP 6/8 & 6/8 and WGI 5/17-5/19. BOOM!

 

There is no smoke or anything, dude a RT didn't think it was the HG because of that. How can I verify its the HG?

 

You retard monkey. Slight pressure from your oil cap is normal. Its just some blow by from piston rings to the crank case. If your head gasket is going out, then there will be some oil or white milky stuff in your radiator. Open the radiator cap and youll be able to see it. And some antifreeze mixed into your oil also. And you'll also be burning through antifreeze fluids but you can't tell since you have leaks also.

 

His pressure in the CC isn't slight by any means. last time we pressure tested that bish it was building A LOT of pressure in the valve cover. I agree you should see white smoke or smell coolant in the exhaust tho.

i think there is a tester you can get to see if there is oil in your coolant or coolant in your oil...

 

I know this is a stupid question because you would already know that it was the HG if this was happening, but is the temp rising when you're boosting or right afterwards?

When does the temp go up and down?
