I wish i could fix the vacuum leaks. The intake may be warped i am on my 3rd set of fel-pro intake gaskets and it still leaks. I tightened the bolts again after running it in which helped but didn't fully stop the vacuum leaks. I ended up using the intake and imrc plates from my old engine with...

My check engine light came on today. The codes i got are as follows 326, 327, 336 and 337. All egr pressure sensor voltage related either too high or too low. What gives i just replaced the dpfe about a month ago. Car runs fine aside from a rough idle because of a few dogged vacuum leaks. Around...

I did not i suppose it's too late now. Would i loosen all the bolts and repeat the factory procedure of so many ft lbs then 90 degrees?

Ok guys im on my 3rd set of intake gaskets right now and they just started leaking again at the front by the crossover. These are brand new fel pro gaskets and the factory install procedure was followed correctly. What do you guys think warped intake maybe? They didn't leak right after the...

Does the exhaust have to be pulled to replace the front diff mounts or can i get away with lowering it some?

Running water is ok to get you home but from a corrosion stand point it needs to be changed out.

With my old engine i would start to get bubbles from the crossover long before the engine was hot enough to boil water. The cooling fan doesn't switch on till 215 degrees so running water is a bad idea. I would replace the water with coolant and retest. At that temperature there were probably...

Will there be any benefit to using a walbro pump on a mostly stock car?

lol i meant diagnosis with a pressure tester. I wasn't attempting to solve a problem just putting gas in the car which ended up telling me something. Which fuel pump should i order? Will a walbro make a difference with a mostly stock car?

Made in china printed in bold letters on the box.

I don't think diagnosis is really necessary this time. I found that it runs way better with more fuel in the tank so there is some problem with the pump or it's pickup.

Is it a chain parts store or a local store? I'll ask but i have my doubts.

That was my hunch when i first noticed the hard starting. I wish i had the right fitting to hook my pressure gauge up. It seems to have good high end power but this is the first mark viii i have driven fast.

A few days ago my car started running badly again. It's tough to start in the morning and the idle shoots up to 2k when it does start. When it's warm it idles between 600 and 900. I'm getting 14-15mpg and it misses at idle. It has new plugs and wires, a new dpfe, new intake gaskets, and all new...

I already took them off cleaned them and sanded off the glaze once. They are just poor quality pads if they glaze this easily. The rotors look fine.

I would like to add i purchased one of these all aluminum units and am happy with it. I didn't have to modify the mounts on mine however the fan doesn't fit perfectly. It will go on and work fine with some persuasion. All in all a decent buy for anyone who needs a new radiator.

Yeah i know what to expect with cheap parts however when rock auto has closeout sales you can get decent parts cheap. I got moog sway bar links for 13 each on closeout. It's probably a bad sign that i cant find anything about this company. I agree that thermoquiets are excellent pads i have them...

Anybody know anything about these? My crappy wearever pads are really noisy coming to a stop so im looking to get something quieter for the least amount of money possible. Rock auto has these on close out for like 7 bucks an axle right now.

A new dpfe fixed it. I read another thread where a member stated that there was a tsb out saying to replace the dpfe if any egr flow related codes manifest themselves.

Do you mean a dealer specific scan tool? I have one that beeps off the codes but i wouldn't even know where to plug in a more sophisticated scanner on an obd1 car. I already tried unplugging the egr vacuum solenoid while the engine idled and it made no difference. Maybe disconnecting the dpfe...
