haha, so i pulled the zed out of the garage and mum came home and parked behind me...i totally forgot sitting inside the car giving it a clean... started her up to let her run in a bit.... gave her a little rev and since im still running WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY rich.... i thought.. SHIT!.... got out of the car and looked behind me, seen this... LOL LOL So I guess i'll be seeing Tom in the next few weeks with a couple grand.
Haha that's funny, I've seen that done before. Just a bit of soot, normal if a car hasn't been started for a longish time or you have a mad rich tune...
ahahha....im not laughing at whats happened to your zed but whats happened to your mums car my mum would have gone ape sh*t do you know the cause...or is that why your taking it to tom?
One side only? Is it throwing black soot from only the drivers side? If so, the right O2 sensor might be faulty, causing that side to run rich... Might pay to do a diagnostic on it just to make sure... Cheers Rob.
Nar zed runs FINE... only thing thats buggered is like... CTS (coolant temp sensor) and a coil pack clip (so it slides off every now and again) .. running rich.. so black smoke and shit out of both exhaust... plus.. no cats. Doing a plenum pull and then get the ECU socketed and tuned properly etc. Mum cam out when she heard me laughing... she looked and her car and she did flip... but i told her it would just wipe off.. which id did. I think I should have said that it wouldnt come off... would of been classic. and.. more like... James 2, Corrolla 0 mums flipped that time LOL.. about a year ago
just wondering... i know it can do alot of damage driving it so RICH... but exactly what damage does it to... what shit gets blocked?... rings get done in? etc etc... and how bad it is it to run like this.. can i even start it up and run it in or what? Im a bit worried now that my amusement has wore off... lol.. i always laugh and bad things before i think hard about what has happened.
we all got them,youll find they foul up very quickly running that rich,what r they doing next to you,put them in !!!!!!!!!!!! have fun with the back ones :biggrin:
lol... cost in order to get the balance pipe off id have to take out a locktighted bolt thats screwed into the plenum.. and thats why i need to do a plenum pull and replace my plenum.. yayayayay gay job...
cut it off,balance pipes are over rated anyway lol lol :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:
then id have air pissing out everywere lol... but mehh... ITS COOL ULEH PSHHH who needs BOVs when ya car sounds like its supacharged!! - Hectik
why not ,most of the t/t's i see think its the bov's,its actually boost leaks lol :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:
I hate my car right now.. LOL... but i'll love it tomorrow.... its just im worried about having things go wrong.... should it not be driven?... im asking for advice because its been driven about 800km's since i bought it.. when i bought it , it was running rich... just not this bad lol.. and its getting worse... should i just leave it till im ready to fork out cash?
Fix the CTS. It will make your Z think it's not warmed up and run cold start enrichment. Check with multimeter if you are not sure if it's dead. 2.1 to 2.9 kOhm @ 68Fahrenheit 0.68 to 1.0 kOhm @ 122F 0.30 to 0.33 KOhm @ 176F Replace it if not in spec.
