Shan Singh Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Hello I have a ep91 glanza. i have a td04 turbo and a couple other mod, i also recently installed a FPR running 42psi after this the car worked well then a couple days after it started to give me a hard start sometimes took up to 5 turns to start it and sometimes the first turn does it, also a couple times it overheated abit this is after redlining it but as soon i see it overheating i let it cool but with normal driving it doesn't overheat. Also couple days after it started to misfire not all the time but consistently. i did a compression test home here thinking it was a blown gasket i got around 135,150,150,150psi (not exact i did this night time couldnt see clearly) There is no water mixing with oil and i am no pro but i think this is ok.? For the misfiring i tried swapping leads,spark plugs and igniter but no luck. There is no water mixing with oil. i will try putting back the stock fuel pressure regulator, maybe swap the fuel pump to see if it helps. Any advice given will be appreciated Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shan Singh Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share Posted August 23, 2017 (edited) Did some research can it be crankshaft Position Sensor if they have? Edited August 23, 2017 by Shan Singh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hopalong_neil Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 (edited) Hi mateI'm no expert by far but having seen your compression results I would hazard a guess that your ringlands have gone on cylinder 1 which would mean time for a rebuild...What colour were your plugs when you took them out?

Shan Singh Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share Posted August 23, 2017 Plugs were a bit black not too black thou . Also theres not much smoke coming from exhaust Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shan Singh Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share Posted August 23, 2017 can someone point me in the right direction im a student and i can't really afford a rebuild that much Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryncewind Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Do a compression test again on the low cylinder. Then put a tea spoon of oil into the cylinder and test again. If the reading increases, that is an indication of worn piston rings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
