Newk, some really excitign knowlegeable stuff you've posted here. My car exhibits exactly the same doozy that wogs' car does. Might have to see ya during holidays (last exam is the 20th), so if you're free :cool:

youd probably do better with wogsrus touching something randomly and fixing it :thumbsup:

my brother handles all mechanical stuff, i handle the electronics side of things, less physical work for me that way!

besides, you dont learn anything unless you do it yourself!

Hay guys, i think it might be my stock fuel pressure reg.

Ages ago, when i got the aftermarket malpasi one, for some reason i could not run just the malpasi one, it would exibit thesame issues as it does at the moment, surging ect.

The solution was to install the stock one in series with the malpasi one and the symptoms disapeared. SOOO it looks like i might need to get a new one to test.

HOWEVER the car starts great now, no idea what happend. LOL.

WELLLLLLL

it's not the fuel reg at all, tried one of a running car, BUGGGAA, back to teh drawing board.

I wander if it is possible for my cam belt to slip a toth, i swear that last night i herd it backfire through the intake, is that possible and if so what would couse this.

The car is bad, it's basicaly stops between 2500-3500 rpm on boost.

Going to do more logs this afternoon on the way home.

Any more ideas guys.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
