morgey Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 my car did this after i removed the charcoal canister, but only when warm and only when i had just filled up with fuel. (completely different setup i know) but all i did was let the fuel tank breath to atmosphere and block of the vaccum line on the inlet manifold. strange considering my older setup engine ran fine with it connected Quote
Starbuck Posted March 26, 2012 Author Posted March 26, 2012 Yeah. Getting a lift in tomorrow and doing a comp test when I finish work. Quote
Starbuck Posted March 27, 2012 Author Posted March 27, 2012 A comp test revealed my comp tester is shit. 25257550Eek! A new comp test3r revealed:150150145100A lot better. I need a better idea as to what's causing the stalling and high oil temp etc Recovery to TD me thinks for diagnosis Quote
Asad Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 Symptoms sound like air leak tbh...also raises suspision on the CTS when its warm as it control fueling iirc Youve done most of what they would have done mate, wouldnt waste your money ^ Quote
Starbuck Posted March 27, 2012 Author Posted March 27, 2012 Perhaps but on a previous visit a small oil leak was noted on the belt side. So I might just get the head done anyway..... Quote

Starbuck Posted March 27, 2012 Author Posted March 27, 2012 When it started causing issues yes.You do mean when the problems started arising, yeah? When the engine was from cold as such it was just a funny idle every now and again. Quote
micky boy Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 Sorry marc i ment when you did the compression test was it up to temp? Quote
Starbuck Posted March 27, 2012 Author Posted March 27, 2012 Sorry marc i ment when you did the compression test was it up to temp?Comp test was done cold. I don't want to be warming it up in case I do more harm.Cts is what exactly and where? Quote
J25GTi Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 Coolant temperature sensor, on the thermo housing, usually causing running issues when either hot or cold Quote
