Re: Rough running - B18FT

The rpm drops as the vacuum goes up, pressing the throttle does nothing.

Re: Rough running - B18FT

After winter sleep, the car lost it completely. Not sure what is what anymore. :wall: Runs for a few seconds, then vacuum creeps up towards zero and it stalls.

A little throttle added to get enough time for a movie.

Re: Rough running - B18FT

Something worked, the cables/connector going to the MAF was not in very good shape when I removed the grommet, but the knock sensor cable was also damaged, so one of them maybe? There is also something wrong with the crankcase ventilation hoses, check valve is not sealing on the oil catcher thing an...

Re: Rough running - B18FT

Check MAF and ECT. Are the plugs getting black? Black smoke when accelerating?. This seems MAF related although it can also be ECU failure ( rare ). You should get 1L/30sec at the return hose. Check throttle potentiometer also, and knock sensor Sorry, but what is the ECT? Plugs ashy, exhaust fine.

Re: Rough running - B18FT

Just for clarification, I've volume tested the fuel pump by measuring. Seemed fine, but not tested the pressure.

Rough running - B18FT

Hello! i'm in desperate need of help with my 480 Turbo from 88. Problem: Fuel or spark cut when going "positive" on boost gauge, loud pops/bangs from engine bay when trying to push anyway(does not sound like detonation/knock), no power and a strange idle jumping pattern that needs a good rev to snap...

Re: Loose connectors and sensors?

Just an update if anyone finds this thread.

The sensor pictured sits on the _underside_ of the fuel injector rail.

Re: Loose connectors and sensors?

The knock sensor is there, under the idle valve thingy. So it's not that one. But Aux water pump seems to be the right track. But that does not fix the boost cut...

Loose connectors and sensors?

Hello! Complete noob here, just brought home a one owner 480 turbo. Trying to sort a few things out but my Google Fu is not good enough I guess. I found a sensor yesterday just laying about in the engine bay. Where does it go/what does it do? Pic: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Xjq3e09c3uWklOeptnX...
