FUUUUUUUUCK I know my return has a very small leak... I've replaced the line before, but still doesn't seem to help out. My coolant line also has a leak now too Gonna have to fix that soon..

How the hell would it have backed up that quickly?

I don't know lol. Got oil change at werks week before, then I started hearing funny noise, check oil level. It was way low. Added 2 quarts and went to CED hotel. Did oil change when i got there(20 miles) and only 3 quarts drained out. And oil filter covered in shavings.

So it sounds like I will be joining this group of frustrated 2.2L members soon .

Carrier bearing broke in my transmission last summer... cars lowered on SSC springs and 18"s and my dad had to drive the car and put it in a chuck hole which punched the half shaft into the transmission casing, cracking the bearing.

Car has driven perfectly fine for almost a year, it's just sounds like i have a bad wheel bearing to the 9th power .

Dude Brags... your car is what motivated me to finally tear down the transmission and boost the car. that's scary to see yours down already. Sounds like an oil leak or someone fell asleep on the job and filled with old oil. Typically the back of the bearings wear if you have bad/old/no oil. Glad you caught it though.

I will have to update later and create my own build thread to join the group

fml it's doing it again! Does the computer have to relearn or some stupid $hit? It only dies when I'm at low rpm's slowing down for a red light or something like that...

Mine was def oil starvation, seems the return line from the turbo was backing up, no oil back to engine. Not positive yet but thats where were at. getting rid of AEM digital boost gauge ( never read accurate), reading boost on interceptor, and getting oil pressure gauge to better monitor situation. But Ill be back in action soon, no worries

well the alternator tested out good so I have no idea what my problem is... Maybe I already need a new fuel filter? I'm going back to o'reillys to see if I can borrow a fuel pressure gauge and see what i'm at when idling. I'm about ready to buy a freakin honda lol.

Coner I think you might have sQme prob I used to, if dying when come to a stop. Will it stay running if you give a little gas when it comes down to around 1000rpms? You might need recirculated bov like me and tundra. P.S. my crank is fucked up too, yeah

Yeah if i put it in neutral and use my left foot on the brake and feather the gas with my right i can usually keep it running. How hard is it to switch to recirc or do i just need a new bov?

The way mine was done, I needed redone hot side to get it closer to intake you might not need that. New bov, hose to intake, and a bung on intake to take in the recirculated air. I'll try and find some before and after shots for u

Here are a few before and after shots
Before: notice the bov way off to drives side

After: bov moved to middle, hose added goes in to intake now



Quick Reply: wanna build my 2.2 up for more boost!
