fark it, i think i'll just swap in another engine or buy a porsche

So i've had a slight slight ping for about 6 months, really faint. in the past 2 weeks the pinging has gotten louder, but still only at about 10% throttle and in the 1000-1400 rpm range. Then a few days ago it threw the 71 CEI code, which is malfunction egr. I knew i had a small crack in the...

Ok this is very very wierd When i press the brake randomly the bad/broken bulb indicator light comes on but my brake lights are good. And half the time when i brake and that indicator light comes on the Reverse "R" light will come on and the car will down shift not so smoothly. I talked to a...

UPDATE has had 70 miles put on it with all sorts of varying throttle from gandma style to flooring it past a corolla full of fat drunk chicks. The idle hasnt changed, it hasnt gone up so hopefully that was the last time i needed to set the tps for quite some time.

Ok ive been posting like a million times over about my ping and tps issues..... So today i went to homedepot to get replacement screws for the tps, they didnt have the right sized metric. After work i went to ACE Hardware and a guy came up asked what i was looking for, i said a 4.7mm hex or...

i'll do the oil change asap Update : went to home depot on my lunch with the screw in hand. I looked at the chart and the dummy holes, the stock screw is a 4.7mm size. Unfortunetly they didnt have the correct size i got the closest in standard size and tryed it , didnt fit. So i'm out $1.08...

It sounds like metalic roughness of the motor at 1200-1500 rpm only under light throttle. Yeah i wouldnt think it would ping at that low an rpm and still pull hard and smooth to redline. Its almost a clacking sound. I had a buddy who knows more than I about engines and has turbod his car he...

Well i just got the tps screws off, somehow i just put my bodyweight into the screw and both of them turned, i put the better one on top and left the mangled one off. The car now idles at 700 perfectly, the pinging still present though. maf has already been cleaned, that was my first guess. car...

Ok over the past week i have replaced the tranny fluid, full case of type 4, power steering fluid and diff fluid. The car runs great except the tps is adjusted too low and the screws are mangled, and i have a low speed 1200 rpm light throttle pinging. so going cheap route first i picked up a...

http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2043143 I wrapped my steering wheel in a darker leather, i thought it was about the same color but hey, once i got it on i realised i didnt want to eert myself that much every again.

Im betting on the temp sensor since the rest of my guages are perfectly working. The temp guage rises as the car idles down and heats up but it just gos a bit past the 1/4 mark. My fan clutch is fine so i know its not over cooling. I was wonder where the temp sensor might be, is it in the...

thanks guys, i figure the one closer the manifold must be it since thats the typical stock location, but i was just wondering to be sure before i take those stripped screws out and replace and adjust it all.

Ive read through lexls.com tutorials many a time, on the guide to adjusting the tps i see only one sensor on the front of the throttle body, i'm pretty sure that the sensor closer the to the manifold is the tps but can you guys clarify what the other is? looks the same, has the same adjustable...

Ok so my p/s sometime moreso on left hand tight turns will moan like a whale. So i go pickup a hand pump and a couple quarts of atf dex 3. I pump out the res into a gatorade bottle, and jebus crimminy it was black, and small chunks of gunk/burnt fluid came up with the old stuff. I pump out and...

Well i went out on my lunch break, popped the hood. Checked the fluid, it is brown and looks damn old, the cold level was about 1/2 an inch below cold. So i went and picked up some atf base power steering fluid. I put some in accidently over filled it a little bit too much but its coming out...

hah dont lose all hope yet, could be i'm sucking fluid out into my intake manifold, could be a pressure drop, power steer chekc valve, old fluid, dirty fluid, clogged line, not enough fluid, the alternator was already replaced last year, but their is no fluid i see leaking anywhere, but i'ma...

I dont think it is leaking, but i'll check the fluid level today at lunch time. But when the wheel is turned about 30-40 degrees either way it will make a small moaning sound like a beached whale, its not loud but its noticable. For those of you who have had this problem and no leaking, please...

well im sure with a decent aftermarket cooler and new fluid the ls4 4spd auto should handle over 400lbs of torque and 400hp+

mine had a similar issue, my maf sensor that plugs into the top of the chamber was not fully seated after being cleaned. Vaccum leak causes all sorts of stupid issues
