interloper393 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 i would replace or at least clean your plugs, then remove and clean inspect the distributer cap, then check the leads.. but i reckon its one of the above :surrender: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tha Dragon Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 Hi Guy's i did some research on the problem that i have but did not get nothing yet and i have been through eveything but nothing is was wondering if it's the FPR that's giving me trouble cause i used a tutorial i found on the forum but i didn't know if i could apply it or not but when i installed the FPR i put the pressure on 45 psi could 1 of you guy's tell me if i'm doing it right or not?And 1 more thing i insalled my manual boost controller but when i raise the boost it will only go to -10 won't go higher do 1 of you guy's know what the problem is there?Thanks in advanceTha Dragon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maz90 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Think it may be the plugs or the dizzy as interlooper said.My mate had a simaliar problem and it turned out too be the dizzy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Enzo Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 it sounds like your worrying too much mate but then again if you did notice it after fitting the pressure reg i dont see how that would affect the abs pump Quote Link to post Share on other sites

5T4R7ET N/A Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 i think that FPR may be giving you the problem mate, since it started to happen after this mod? i am right?put standard one back on and see if it makes any differenceworth a shot! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tha Dragon Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 Ok i'll give it a try,but tomorrow there's a machanic passing by and i'll let him check what the problem is and i'll let you know, but when i installed the FPR it didn't give me no trouble. Every Mechanic i asked is telling me the same thing they say it looks like that my car isn't getting enough spark or something.But i take a look se and i'll let you guy's know.THE MORE ADVICE AND HELP THE MERRY.Best regardsTha Dragoni think that FPR may be giving you the problem mate, since it started to happen after this mod? i am right?put standard one back on and see if it makes any differenceworth a shot!
