I thought I would start a new thread for this, even tho I mentioned it in the previous thread I started... also helps me get my post count up :D ...

On a more technical note, one of the cars, that is destined to become the primary hack, had a blown head gasket. I had one of my heads overhauled (not sure what model, kidney shaped combustion chamber, small valves, FI ports (E88 rings a bell)... I ported it a little and matched it myself for free... I stripped off all of the polution gear and water heating for the manifolds/TB that I could see...

I now have two problems, I can get the car to start, it has fuel and spark, but nothing I do to the throttle has any effect... I changed the AFM and TPS with no effect... the car was running until the head came off, and I am a bit lost for ideas...

it is also pissing water out of either the head/block joint or Inlet Manifold/Head joint (where I don't think there are any water galleries). I am thinking perhaps one of the manifold studs/bolts has penetrated the water gallery in the head. I don't want to pull that apart until after I get the car running so I can transport it...

Any ideas???

The car starts and idles very badly (no exhaust, just headers)... but opening the TB has no effect, opening the AFM has no effect... the car just continues to idel exactly the same... I am wondering if one of the sensors I have disconnected would send the ECU into limp mode or something...

Cheers,

Daewoo

I assume this is a MR30, look at this,

it may help diagnosed your problem.

here are some more wiring diagrams that may help you out

Just an uneducated guess here but there is a throttle valve switch that tells the ECU if the throttle is fully closed or open. Is that still connected?

That sounds like a likely culprit... where is the sensor for that located on the TB?

Yep, that's what I was calling the throttle postion sensor... connected, and swapped it with one I know works without effect...

This switch has to be aligned, ie

it's a two way switch,

position one, is no throttle

position two, full throttle (3/4/ I think it is)

there is no linier value with this TPS.

I dare you guys not to laugh when you read what the problem ended up being... I dare you...

The cars are at a mates place, and he has a lot of trouble with wasps making their mud nests in every available hole... so he had jammed a black spray paint can lid into the pipe from the AFM to the TB... right in the middle where the pipe bent... to stop wasps nesting in the inlet manifold :rofl:

so the car now runs (very badly but runs)...

Next problem tho... this car was supposed to be fine other than a blown headgasket... so I have now changed the head gasket and oil and filter, and the oil is again just as white as before I started... head is torqued correctly, so I don't think it will be a gasket (didn't really check that the block was flat I guess)... anywhere else where wet stuff often mixes with black stuff to become white stuff???

I've seen holes in the front timing cover once, it had corroded through, into the engine

Agreed. I redid my head twice before I realised the problem was a actually pin hole in the timing cover - not noticable until I held it up in the sun and saw the light, so to speak. From memory there is also a hidden welsh plug under the timing cover, so that may also have corroded.

Thanks for that info...

Yeah, you can drop the timing cover if you drop the sump, done it a few times on the 1600...

I'll check that out...

I've had the hole in the back of the water pump twice now. Got it welded the first time and replaced it with one from an L20 the second time.

This will be the first thing I check when I go to work on the car this weekend...

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)

      Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...

      Blue slip

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...

      Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
