so with the brake disconeccted, pump the brakes for 30 seconds then what??? what does this do?

no just disconnect the battery, then pump the brakes dont ask me how but supposidly it drains all the circuits and resets the ecu, i actually tried it once with a prob and cleared it for a few montsh till i went power fc

ok so im just in from the shed and i have done the following:

1) took out and taped up every coil to cover any possible "cracks"

2) undid battery, let it sit for a bit while hitting the brake pedal and playing with the light switches (whats that ment to do if there is no power?) then reconected it all up again

now for the test run, i did about 20 standing starts, pushing hard through first gear all the way up untill hard in 4th.....and it was perfect, not one backfire, there was a small hessitant bit in one of the launches though....

but then as i went to take a corner hard in first gear over 4000rpm is backfired and coughed like crazy, this would suggest a problem either in the fuel tank pump or with the new fuel pump the previous owner put in????? only did it in corners under hard excelaration, like as if the force of the car was moving a pump and not picking up correctly???

cheers

how much fuel you got in that tank?........if its only doing it around corners now, you might want to consider fuel surge

ok sounjds like surge, i recommend taking out the pump and make sure it was put in properly possibly not set up correctly and the pick up is too high, if its like a walbro the pump will be small and maybe set up in the cradle to high, if she low on fuel take out the pump now!

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
