It is likely the CPS wires/connector. What you've got is an intermittent connection causing the problem Nick pointed out. The fix is to replace sections of the wiring and related connectors. This is a pretty common thing...

The FP VSV is located under the intake runners toward the front of the engine. The vac line that connects to it may have come off. The end of the nipple on the VSV isn't knurled. It's just smooth so old/dry vac lines slip off easily.

In for vid! :)

Just for reference, here's my general tune: Idle: 15:7 to 16:7 City Driving: All over the place... Cruise: 15:7 to 16:2 (this typically gets me 28.6 mpg) WOT: 12:0 to 12:3 till 4000 RPM, then 11:5 to Redline Setup: Maft Pro in Speed Density

67mm is a lot of wheel! We'll see what the 62mm will get me; but, maybe something like that is in my future. ;)

True. He didn't post his AFR's; but, from what I could see, it looked pretty lean. Of course E85 is a little more forgiving with that. :)

I appreciate the tip heavy; but, man....I can't for the life of me visualize it. Got a pic floating around somewhere?

As in this one? http://www.modified.com/index.html

Thanks for stopping in Ace. I don't have a lot of miles on them yet; but, so far...I'm digging the coilovers. And you were right...I didn't need the pillow ball mounts. I'm glad you talked me out of them. For my application, I don't want the ride to be any stiffer. Got a link to the Mag...

Until you have a way to tune, I would turn the boost down to ~12 psi.

I'd pull it apart and have the block decked with the timing cover attached, put it back together with an MHG, install it, and run the mess out of it.

^You forgot to circle the dip stick tube hole. Or IJ did. ;)

Mike said it best... Your dollar to power ratio is highest with the 2J as compared to the other platforms. ...and we all know that even the much hated 7M>1J. ;)

I feel that you get more bang for your buck with an Mk3 over an Mk4. Ever since the Fast and Furious movies hit the screen, the Mk4's dollar value skyrocketed. From an engine management standpoint, they are the same. Meaning, neither have flash-able ECU's, and both require the use of...

That's because MK3's are better. ;)

What exhaust mani is that...CX Racing 2nd Gen? I like where it puts the turbo.

That's really good! What type of fuel and what were your afr's? Looks a little on the lean side; but, I could be looking at the wrong trace. And did I read the torque right...369?

Well, I'm pretty sure that as awesome as they are, they're weren't built with snow in mind. :) She pretty much stays nestled in the garage until the roads are free of gel, salt, and rocks.

Shrimp all the way baby! :) Chalmette is where I grew up. Small world man!

Correct! You know the area? You in NOLA? That's where I'm from! Man, I want a Po-Boy... :)
