Been keeping tabs on how my car is running, I changed all the plugs, rocker cover gasket and the spark plug seal as I had oil on the spark plug hole (oil all over the spark plug) So thought maybe this would be the reason as to why the car runs slightly lumpy. But it still runs the same, it's missing quite badly. Can you guys suggest anything else? Was thinking distributor cap and rotor arm but it was replaced by the previous owner..

Thanks

Thank you guys for all the help and yeh if your friend doesn't have the manifold then I would highly appreciate it of you would pm me I will change the actuator aswell whilst I have the manifold off. Do you recommend HKS actuator?

Thank you guys for all the help looks like a new mani on order then, any suggestions as to which ones? I like the race tech ones but abit out of my price range tbh.

Could this be the reason as why it's running abit lumpy? Misfires abit as well?

Ok then looks like my list is gettin bigger for new things to get the car running to top spec

Low boost, 0.4 bar, high boost, 0.6 bar.

Have you changed anything? What are the mods on it?

Fmic, fuel pressure regulator. Hks ssqv bov, the car has a manual boost controller but I don't know if it Is linked up properly. AC removal, air filter relocation. That's all the engine mods.

Just had a look, I didn't even know. The car has a boost controller, it also has a crack in the manifold which is possibly much reason for unboost, would that be possible?

I'll have a check over the pipes. Is there anyway of knowing that the actuator is knakered?

What's the standard boost pressure? 0.8 bar? I'll check the pipes.

My car has Been ok and now it's starting to drop boost. The car is running standard ct9 turbo at 0.8 bar but just recently it only making 0.6 bar max. It's got a stock actuator on it. Any ideas?

Fair enough mate. It says it will work. There only one way to find out lol

Thank you for the links, I'm assuming this pump would be ok to run on my glanza.

So would you suggest a new pump. After I have done the filter obviously

What should the regulator be showing? I am new to this stuff. Thanks for all the info by the way. It's much appreciated.

Thanks mate I'll check it tomorrow whilst at work. I'll also get a fuel filter for it.

Could the problem have anything to do with the fuel pressure regulator?

Same questin as jakeep82. Would that then mean new fuel pump? Or could it be resolved with something else?

Yep see that's half my problem. If I knew what they had touched or messed with then I stand more of a chance sorting it. Could my leads be earthing out or something like that. The previous owner fitted magnicor leads? Or damp plugs?

How would i know if the fuel pressure regulator is packing up? What symptoms would I get? Thanks

I find if I switch it off then try again it fires up with a lot less cranking but still more than expected. I brought the car with modifications already installed so I do not know what has been messed around with which is kind of annoying now I have the car. I have a feeling it is a fuelling issue but them I could be wrong.

I have a 97 glanza and when trying to start from cold but mainly warm the engine takes loads of turns to crank. Then eventually it fires up. The car has a fuel pressure regulator installed but don't know if it is this thats maybe causing the problem. What do you guys think? Thank you.

Welcome matey and it's pretty much the same as looking at any other turbo car dude there's nothing in particular to look for and I'm sure there is a couple of nice ones for sale on here

Thank you for the welcome lads

welcome mate

cheers mate

I have been a member for around two years now. My first starlet was a n/a sr I had to part with it and now on the look out for a glanza v. Is there anything vitally that I should look out for, any common faults. I did search the forums for a thread that could possibly help but couldn't find anything so feel free to point me in the right direction Lol.
