Give us a update, have you installed the new plugs yet?

Someone correct me on my figures if im wrong but I thought on vacuum the pressure was supposed to be high 30's and off vacuum about 60psi. Also, is it not more desirable to have lower FP at WOT when possible, possibly by using a 1:1 FPR?

New Image

pim waiting for the motor to cool off so i can pull of the blower and install the plugs

SIRSIG

get the FP up to 38-40psi at idle, then make some adjustment from there if necessary...

New Image

i just took out the plugs and the rear valve cover. the rubber o ring gasket around the plug was torn leaking oil onto the plug. one of the other plugs tip was broken. i dont know how i never noticed this b4.

RANDOM MISFIRE???!!!!

SIRSIG

may god save your car...

New Image

ok, i adjusted my fuel pressure. with the car on and idling its at 40psi, with it off with ignition on it is at 50psi. which way do i adjust, with the car on or off?

horsepowercrzy18

adjust with car off i believe

Allout

There is no rubber O-Ring gasket on the plugs.

I think the gasket he was refering to was the one in the valve cover

I love that running smiley

So anyone else curious as to why they dont have double Iridium plugs? Or the new Accord dual probe plugs? (ground electrode looks like center electrode)

New Image

on the valve cover where the coil goes there is. thats what i meant

New Image

back to fuel pressure, set with car on and idling or with car off and ignition on?

Obviously you need to do it with your car on.

No accessories running.

New Image

ok, ive been fiddling with the fuel pressure, and it seems no matter what psi i set it to, anywhere from 25 to 40 psi at idle, the car still runs rich. why is that?

gc86

so cars not missfiring anymore with the new plugs? problem solved now we're dealing with FPR?

mrsteve

iTrader: (1)

How do you know the car is running rich? Unless you are throwing P0175 codes you aren't too rich.


Your AFR should be deep in the 11s most of the time while you're running wide open.

New Image

my afr is low 10s at wot, even 10 flat, and on partial throttle its in the 11s

IMO that means very little since there is a possibility that the gauge is either not hooked up correctly or malfunctioning. you need to bring the car into a professional with the blower OFF THE CAR and get it running right.

btw - mrsteve greatest avatars ever. i loved the NOT YOURS - YOURS one too. =]

New Image

its an aem wideband, theres nothing to hookup wrong. bu anywho, im going to take it to jotech motorsports and let them figure it out.

So when/if you ever get this car working right...do you plan on ragging on it and driving crazy like the last one?....i'm gonna go with yes.

so when/if you ever get your car working properly, are you going to continue to rag on it and post videos on Youtube?

Guys need to get off this driving kick. I don't consider any of that ragging on a car with 300+ supercharged horses.

What is your static fuel pressure?

MarbleGT

fixed.

I'll see your depression and raise you a new car.
Glad to see your trying to sort out your problem though.. With tearing everything apart let us know if you find Jimmy Hoffa's finger or Monica Lewinsky's semen sponge.

right now at idle 20 psi, but im still running rich as shit

mrsteve

iTrader: (1)

If your static fuel pressure was 20psi your car would stall.

What is your static fuel pressure?

BlackV62K2

Set your fuel pressure @ idle (warmed up car) to 38-40psi with VAC connected. There's no way you can be running @ 20psi @ idle.

New Image

should the gauge read any pressure with the car off? my gauge reads about 10psi with car off

mrsteve

iTrader: (1)

Doesn't matter what it says when the car is off.

What gauge do you have?

New Image

its an ac autotechnic mechanical.

i just set my fpr to 38psi and im not messing with it anymore

Allout

How's the AFR with the FPR set at 38?

New Image

its pretty much the same. very rich on wot, stoich on idle and cruise. but with the fpr that high my car stalls when i drop it into neutral

Allout

The stalling going into neutral could be a vacume leak.

mrsteve

iTrader: (1)

Please tell me the gauge isn't mounted inside the cabin.


38psi static? You should be adjusting your static fuel pressure. Not in vacuum.

mrsteve

I don't want to sound rude, but it has become quite obvious that the issues you are having with your car are beyond your knowledge. I'd seek professional help.

mrsteve

Okay then it is an airflow problem. If the car was too rich you would be storing P0175s. Clearly it isn't too rich in closed loop so I don't think fuel is the problem. If the car stalls while going in to neutral it could very well be a IAC valve problem.

Did you ever purchase the scan tool? The ScanGaugeII is a good product that will display everything you need.
