well i got my zed back yesterday and nows its a TT manual but... im having a few problems with it, its going back to the mechanics to get cheked over but i thought i might post somethin up here first this morning on leach hwy i was doing a u turn and i stalled it, then it wouldnt start, it was ticking but wouldnt tick over. then i would try again and would make a screeching noise like when the ignition is on then u turn it again coz ur a noob secondly everytime i tap the accelrator pedal the revs drop down and when it idles the revs go up and down any help?
check all the small hoses Especially the ones that go to just under the air intake to the plenum, any of these hoses can cause erratic idling. Good luck
I would bet the screeching is the Starter motor is either loose ( bottom bolt stripped) or the spacer he put under the starter motor is not the right size for the TT flywheel.
Sounds like a starter problem to me The ticking noise sounds like the solenoid actuating. The squealing noise could be the starter gear failing to engage properly in the ring gear
well after monitoring my car i think ive found the problem it only seems to not start after ive been pumping the bass, so, my theory is the sqeaking belt is the alternator belt being lose and not charging the battery and so that when i have my music up it jsut drains the battery. it wouldnt start a twice in the past couple of days and that was jsut after i had the music on loud. then 20 minutes later it would start or i would have to give it a rolling start.
Am I the only person here, who finds this somewhat incredulous situation perplexing? Have we really reached a point at which the insane desire to blow the wax out of ones ears(by installing monsterous sound systems) is now causing our cars to no longer efficiently function as cars? Get a grip folks, the inmates are running the Asylum.:stupid:
had a similar problem, was only a little sub in a s#!t box commodore....VS, but if i had the music at a decent level with the bass on, the car would eventually drive to a stop, as without power the ecu couldnt run, therefore no fuel...... What it was was a loose connection to teh alternator, so it wouldnt be pumping full charge..... but enough to run the car longer without music... or accessories... similar thing at night...
that sounds exactly like mine, mine would find it hard to keep the idle so i would have to keep reving it cheers for the info on your car and chili you are crazy! i only ever crank it when im cruising but turn it down at the lights ahha. and will prob sell it soon so i can mod my car
