Lil Blaqe Is Acting Up Again

[ESmorz]

Always being finicky and never definite with her symptoms once again haha.

Rough Idle and Stalling, but only sometimes. However it always feels a little hesitant and jumpy through hard acceleration.The last time it did this I stuck my head out the window to see if I could smell fuel and faintly, yes I did. Semi-confirming my fears haha. Also last time I went to fill up it didn't seem like there was the adequate or usual pressure in the tank.

So I guess it's between the 3 most common things... bad or stuck egr valve, fuel system issue, or a vacuum leak.

With the most recent endeavors leaning way more towards something in the fuel system.

Need some finalities on diagnosis.

Thankies Zilvia buddies.

Aww bumpily dumpily?

If your suspecting a vaccum leak I would take it to a smog shop and ask them to hook up the gas tank tester to it and test it. January this year they made a new requirement that states not only must your gas cap be tested, they must also pressurize your gas tank and check that proper pressure is acheived. If you only want that done I'm sure theres a shop that will test it for free. Just a thought.

check that hose that runs along the side of the tank. the one that runs down from the nozzle to the tank. u might have a small tear in that hose

[ESmorz]

I might, but the more and more I keep driving it I seems to be getting normal or close to normal gas mileage...

So wouldn't that almost rule out a fuel line leak?

Trying to get this bitch sorted before I send payment for a track day.

^^^^

lol god what a gay name.

mine was called noreen. =X

i would check the fuel system. and vacuum.

Check your cat... Could be clogged. If you smell fuel, you could be running rich, by means of some kind of vacuum leak, which dumped fuel into your engine, which went to the cat... which melted the cat and id all kinds of crazy shit.

Sound far fetched? Lol yeah it does. But thats what happened to my 240. So I gutted my cat. I love MO... No smog test.

[ESmorz]

One thing I forgot to mention.

The check engine light does go on every once in awhile.

:keke:

[SexPanda]

go ahead and check your cat... Then check your fuel pump. If your tank is having trouble building pressure, and it has a rought idle, stalls sometimes, you could have a fuel pump going out, or a clogged sock.

I'm starting to lean toward Fuel Pump.

I need to pull the code too.

[ESmorz]

I should also mention it has no symptoms when the engine is cold within 1-3 minutes of starting it up.

[ESmorz]

Alright.

Next weekend I am going to do an inspection of the fuel lines, change the fuel pump, and put in a Z fuel filter, clean the egr valve and the iacv.

Let you know how it all goes.

Should I just get an OEM Fuel Pump, or get a Walbro?

[flip3d]

i have the fuel pump assembly from S13 w/KA24DE.

ill sell it to you cheap. let me know.
