---IMPULSE BUY---
Couldn't say no to a Laser Red 2000 GT Vert with a Kenne Bell and Saleen body stuff... Now I'm stuck with it.
It runs about 10psi, which I'm happy with. When I got it the 'service engine soon' light was on and it ran like sh**.
It misfired and hestitated quite a bit, especially out of boost. And the A/F ratio gauge would jump around quite a bit.
Figured I'd give it a shot because it was lowered, drove okay as far as suspension and steering went and didn't seem too rough...
Well I drove it to work so I could work on it afterwards. Pulled the intake and throttle body to clean and gain access to the plugs (figured may be reason for missing).
Front side of the throttle body was decent but the back side was covered in oil residue... Also I took a peek inside the Kenne Bell and there was oil puddled towards the back
and in what I could see of the screw areas (forgot to mention it burns oil pretty good).
Today:
-Changed the plugs-NGK TR6 @.035" (found front passenger plug was covered in oil and helicoil'd, probably my misfire)
-Cleaned the throttle body as good as possible, reused gasket...
-Sprayed out the intake tube and installed new air filter (4" variety, k&n intake possibly supplied with KB kit...?)
-Cleared codes and let idle for about 20-30mins at a time (rapid oil changes to try and clean it out, oil looked terrible when I got it)
The only codes I got while doing this was P0354 and P1506.
0354 is for IAC overspeed, might just need adjusting, idled around 1000
1506 is for cyl 4 ignition circuit, may be replacing all coils anyways...
It seems to idle fine... still burns oil but the A/F gauge reads lean, even when I drove around a parking lot, giving it 50-75% throttle.
Just asking for some quick suggestions if you guys got any (don't waste your time), as I may just replace the whole intake (throttle body, maf, tps and intake tube-price depending)
and install a oil catch can because the idiot obviously didn't realize that is basically required. I'm assuming the catch can may slow my oil burning but I'm a little stumped on the
running lean issue. Any suggestions/recommendations for either issue are very much appreciated. Thank you for your time. Pictures to come.
