hi,

what brand are they?

Cheers

king lead was also replaced, I did notice the car running a lot better with the TPS sensor unplugged, however it then wouldn't idle below 1200 rpm. I did check the TPS a while ago and it was withing BGB specs...

pulling the plugs one by one made difference, so it's running on 4 cyl, albeit rough.

HT leads on the right order, all new ignition components;

I also seam to have a very small leak at the dp and turbo gasket, could this cause such issues? I will be changing the gasket this week...

ok, I'll check the fuel pressure regulator. Something else to test or known to go wrong?

checked everything

cam timing is dead on, as well as ignition timing

also pulled the ECU and checked for leaking capacitors, but looks as clean as a whistle

I'm out of ideas... Cylinder leakage test was also less than 20%, so that's ok.

Any other ideas?

I'll check it again this week. taking the rocker cover off to be 100% sure

cam timing or ignition timing?

ok, so further testing was done, but still couldn't get it right. Compression is as follows after 5-6 cranks: 155, 160,160, 160 PSI I cleaned out the IACV, which made my idle a lot better, but engine is shaking still slightly. Popping seems to have stopped Pressure tested for boost leaks/ vacuum lea...

Hi Guys, just rebuilt my gen3 3sgte, but idles bad, it misfires on idle, although I get no codes from the ECU, checked for all connectors to be attached, etc. but can't seem to find it. I also did a compression test, giving 9 bar or 135 psi on all four cylinders, but with the throttle body wide open...

Pm sent mate

asking price?

I'll take this,

sent you a pm

bad experiences with the aftermarket ones?

My mate had a genuine and isn't happy with the fact that they all use the same gasket material and thre price being the only difference

first bits for the engine also arrived!

whilst having starter problems I'm left with 2 options why the engine doesn't crank:

-AM2 fuse broken ( will have to check)
-wiring failure

starter has been tested, just as the relay etc.

Soon the engine will come out for a full rebuild

this was the car prior to being put aside...

Thanks! I already found 1 of the former owners of this car of the IMOC :o At the moment the engine doesn't turn over, starter worked once when out of the car. But now it doesn't do that anymore, I don't know what could be wrong? I'm assuming starter relay, but would seem strange as it worked once al...
