While not absolutely sure, but my random 30x codes were partially because of cam position sensor. I thought was coils, but swapped with my perfect running other speed. Coils were not the problem. So tried cam sensor, that stopped random cylinders misfire. Your richness has to be contributing...

I feel your hellish (just from reading this) experience. Working on vehicles are pleasure and pain. Hopefully in a short while, it will be a great story to retell. Might take awhile though, or a really long time.

Darn I missed reading this. Now crash bar I've taken on off 25-30 times. Wreck adjustments...

When the pressure in cooling system is higher than the tank cap pressure blowoff the fluid will run out not spraying fluid around, just down passage through tank center towards outside. The cap has a spring loaded pressure valve, when you turn over the cap you can see it in center of threads...

You should start a separate thread on your question. You could get a lot of posts not pertaining to this one's title. In simple terms the ecu is a closed-loop controller; it creates a decision on one end of the controlled device (air+ fuel mixture) at the other side of control device it measures...

Crankshaft bearing cradle bolts were on Tasca backorder since Jan, gave up in May. Hopefully that changed. Main bearings if upgrade... sadly unobtainable King racing pMax since Thanksgiving. Rod bearings are available though. I hope parts are going into stock, was a painful daily experience to...

Yes a progress report is due. Honestly I want it running before I say...it's done. Right, so it's a unknown ownership thrasher. So just to say. TurboSport vta damnit...was chasing (will maybe not done) lots of running issues. But I now know that (previous owner setting) if dialed down on...

Thank you for the update on correcting your issues. Watch that circlip that holds arm to wastegate arm. Mine had a slight misalignment and the circlip decided to flee. Had to source a tight fitting one to fix, installing clip in engine bay is no fun.

So far just high temp silicone (no gasket) the flanges area vs the OEM steel compression I didn't have on hand...So far ok! Now found my drip.........left side trans output shaft seal, at least I didn't replace that on build. Here's my custom bends..

I agree....Get it done. I had bought a-- bring a trailer-- 07 speed 3. When I got it running, codes for valve timing retard. Drive for a mile auto Shutdown engine, but would start and fail. That's when I found this treasure trove site. My VVT was toast. Chain was loose, hitting cover, and...

Assuming you have a speed 3 since your picture is of 3 slave cylinder end fluid line seals. I would use search terms to bring up related posts, so you can figure out what you need. You have a hard appointment date with mechanic, so your options are whatever you can get for parts. Unless you are...

I understand your pain. When I decided to redo mine while on a dolly and transfer case installed, I gave up and repulled transfer. The bolt on passenger side was impossible to tighten. I was using a oem style with custom bends. In my case I had only a few degrees of wrench turning and then next...

So no vtcs shaft? Gotta believe with shaft removed but not filling through holes you are leaking air between adjacent port runners. Easy check reinstall shaft.

I would use a bore scope to check cylinder walls. If your can turn scope just right can see a portion valve seat too. Use your leak down tester, a better indicator of bore/rings health. Pull pan and take a look, maybe bearing failure. You will get more opinions if you log and share. Blow by is...

It does if this nest from my speed 6 rebuild is found. I've had 4 cars with ball of nesting debris. So tasty is the auto parts? No I don't eat in cars, especially never catsup bbq packets...On my 3 with the fan scroll inside cage the outside air entry to fan it's really easy to clog, then fall...

Plug gaps 0.26-0.28. new recommended ngk plugs so you can rule plugs out. Stock coils. Verify which cylinder is misfire. Swap coils, see if misfire moves. That's the easiest. When you removed injector, did you replace all the injector seals? No? Then to eliminate that unknown gotta do them...

Great knowledge for our long term maintenance! Thanks to all for the information. Small unobtainable, parts are becoming the norm for any long term owner maintenance, especially stuff specific to our models.

Easier way is with valve cover off, hpfp out. Take cam timing plate and rotate crank to align cams. See if tooth 20? Alignment to crank position sensor. Double-check again by cam plate removal rotate crank to now installed crank counterweight cheek bolt stop. See if again cams are aligned &...

Metal member area... Engine Workshop Manual L3 WITH TC Is the engine generic one I keep handy. Just double checked on Android phone...its fast and while has MOST of the necessary steps. Its great for specific shortcut stuff. I'm guessing you want this.

Just a warning, the cam timing locator plate is just for alignment. Instructions warn about torquing (twisting cams) as you tighten cam sprocket bolts. Cams are surface hardened on the lobes and can break from twisting.
