krave 0 Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Hey another problem and hoping for some more advice. Just completed a vr6 swap and all was fine untill last night. The front subframe had not been tightened enought on the passenger side by the person that was helping me, thus resulting in the front of the engine dropping forward last night. After this happened i felt my power steering go and hesitation on throttle. I pulled up straight away and got a taxi. I have gone back this morning started the car after putting the subframe back and it is missing. It had no power and seriouse hesitaion throughout the whole rev range, foot to the floor and still no power, Just a nasty starved sound. Im thinking maybe air or fuel but no too sure where too start. I have unplugged the maf and things only get worse, any idea's as to what it could be?Supposed to be putting ton the coily's now but need to do this first!! Thanks again P.s sounds like the engine is choking/taking in to much air/fuel starvation. I took the bleeder nozzle off the fuel rail and turned the car over, fuel shot out, so im assuming fuel is fine. Looked in throttle body, all seems ok in there. Engine doesnt sound good, but im assuming this is down to it missing etc. Also sounds like its trying to get better at tick over sometimes, then goes bad again!Please help. thanks, Link to post Share on other sites
krave 0 Posted May 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Just changed the fuel pump relay and things are so much better, doesnt sound like its starving any more. Still a little missfire but i have been fiddling with leads so maybe they are not in properly somewhere. Does this sound like the sort of problem a fuel pump relay causes? Hoping all is nearly sorted. Link to post Share on other sites
