very very rough start........
took a while to get her started but she did.. at first rpms she almost stalled out but came back..
at first really high idle at 3000
turned it off.. checked for leaks....
started again rough start...
after the installation i put in water for temp coolant...
is there any way to tell if the water outlet is leaking water into the 4th cylinder??
i started her again and she started just fine...
plz note its been almost a month since she ran....
no check engine light though
did everyone go through this too?
any thoughts on this situation?

Did you reset the ECU?

Gernby

It probably just started rough due to the air in the fuel rail and injectors.

Yeah, what my installer and I did was turn the key on and off a few times to get fuel into the injectors and stuff. I would imagine that's what happened with you unless you already did this.

VAPOR LOCK!!!!


Hehe, have you checked your oil pressure?

mikecl713

oil pressure never dropped except for its slow drop to normal idle pressure

mikecl713

ecu was reset because battery was disconnected

alexf20c

Hehe, the oil pressure comment was an allusion to my "worst-case scenario" reply in your pre-installation thread.

mikecl713

dont scare me with that shit man.....
ill take those to seriously


car ran well around town..
but i cant get rid of the fact that the bolts not be on tight enough..
im gonna get a shop to torque them to spec perhaps they will be better equipped too better safe than sorry

Try swivels, shallow/deep sockets, extensions, ratcheting wrenches... Everything. Usually, I find an open end wrench to be the best/easiest fit, especially after glancing at it and promising myself I wouldn't have any turning space.
