yea they give a nod to that in this star wars episode. haha

it's what it's called. you would understand why if you have seen the first episode.

here rissa.

 

hrm... what kinda car is this?

 

1990 1g plymouth laser awd 4g63t same kinda car as a 1g eclipse or talon

 

Oh lol I thought you just didn't know what it was called hahah.

 

vacuum line maybe??

 

time for a leakdown test

i are the smartest man alive!

 

like omfg, no way?!?!?

 

i hav no idea but imma get it checked out this weekend...pre owner didnt know what was wrong with it but he said maybe a detonation problem or a tuning issue...but it could be really simple...maybe a boost leak but i dont think that would decrease your mph....actually i know it wouldnt but im hoping it has nothing to do with the pistons cuz it could be at a high compression and jus be eatin them up...maybe the air gas ratio...theres numbers of things it could be

 

boost spiking though? without gassing it?

 

the boost did shot up to 14 in 5th gear while jus cruising for no reason

 

Prove it!

 

i dont know the whole story of whats happening though.

usually a leakdown can tell you internally what is happening if anything at all.

cavi boy are you getting any fluttering sounds say from the BOV or WGA by chance?

what are you using for boost control?

 

the just cruisin part was what got me.

A leakdown test won't hurt haha

 

yea thats weird.. i dont remember hearing of a car boost spiking while just cruising... i wonder if it was electrical...

 

no boost control and it does the fluttering when it hesitates so when you push on the gas...not punching jus when you push on it regular

 

my thoughts behind the vacuum line.... I dunno how the turbo system works, but that would be like the LSJ's boost bypass valve snapping shut at 80mph. 10lbs of boost instantly.

 

pfftt, no one even noticed i posted...

 

we noticed andrew, it was a worthless post haha

have you been drnking??

 

your wastegate might be fuxed.

 

Lol awwww

 

and that would cause the car to decrease in speed

 

nooo????

 

haha,

 

possibly, while cruising i would imagine your still maintaining a small amount of boost and if your WGA isnt holding the pressure then it will open and your car might decrease from the loss of boost pressure, which might explain the flapping noise sometimes...

 

yea makes sense but idk yet for sure well see this weekend...would the car be alright to drive or no
