raddys1 Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 Hello, I'm abit of a noob to the world of 4efte, anyways down to business, I brought a ep91 glanza and had to 1st replace the turbo, I did this and it worked but it didn't boost up fully, a week or so later the bottom end went so I replaced the engine. I replaced it with an ep82 engine (same just with different thermostat housing plugs I believe) but now the car is still not boosting up (even less boost then last time) and when the car is on idle it is hunting like mad (revs bouncing up and down) The car is standard apart from an uprated manifold and de catI did notice a tiny hairline crack on the manifold at the top, no bigger the the length of a 5 pence (probably smaller)http://s1207.photobu.../G1991W/albums/ Quote
Sefton-EP91 Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 Check all vacuum lines and boost pipes are connected properly i.e.. not kinked etc and condition of pipes. I'm sure this has come up before and someone mentioned TPS sensor. Either way I hope this helps. Quote
raddys1 Posted June 14, 2014 Author Posted June 14, 2014 Ok I shall check my lines, could that also be to do with it not boosting properly ?And what is a TPS sensorThanks Quote
Whitenoize Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) Did you bleed your turbo properly before starting the car up? Check all the lines hoses on the inlet aswell very easy to mix them up Edited June 14, 2014 by Whitenoize Quote
raddys1 Posted June 14, 2014 Author Posted June 14, 2014 Bleed my turbo.. Ummm nope didn't know I had to do that and yep I'm going to check it all in abit Quote
Sefton-EP91 Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 TPS - throttle position sensorDo a search using the search bar. I'm sure I've read before about someone having issues with TPS sensor causing hunting and idle problems. Could also be the ICV - Idle control valve. Also did you do what whitenoize said? Could have got the vacuum lines mixed up on bottom of throttle body..? Quote
raddys1 Posted June 14, 2014 Author Posted June 14, 2014 Oh ryt, your the 1 I got the engine off .. Someone Said it might be different cams making it run lumpy, have you any idea if the engine was modded?Cheers Quote
raddys1 Posted June 14, 2014 Author Posted June 14, 2014 Um na I'm onit when I get back in a couple hours mate Quote
Whitenoize Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 No mate it's got standard cams in it I changed the rocker so it not got diffrent cams you should hav bled your turbo tbh with it being off the car so long.. and the hunting just sounds to me like a vac lines the one in the tb are so easy to mix up loads of people do it Quote
