    what do you mean by run 18 deg on turbos? And bump boost as in raise boost?
    Oh dear god.
    By harness i presume bling means the connectors and wires - ie: the whole EFI harness

    coil pack connectors are the clips. Did you actually unplug the o2's? its so simple and changed my car a lot.

    The harness might not need replacing, just every connector attached LOL!

    Yeah, 18deg on turbos? Never heard that one before. :confused:

    bling told me too... coz im always running 98 fule, i can run my turbos at 18 degrees instead of 15, give me and extra 30 hp?

    um, nah the o2's where fine so i havent removed them.

    Yer im buying new connectors and wiring them in, the connectors are ****ed.

    Haha your a tool dude. I said advance your timing to 18 degrees because your running BP ultimate all the time and by whole harness being shagged i mean the whole harness is shagged. Every connector in that engine bay is fubar. Dont worry about advancing your timing untill you get everything else sorted out.

    Yes the O2 sensors were fine.

    agree with this 100%. Sounds like you're running on 5 :eek:
    While it's running, try disconnecting one coilpack at a time, see if there's any difference..

    Also your engine temp was sitting around 90degrees that arv and it wasn't a hot afternoon. Your fan hub is stuffed and you've got more coolant leaks than my eyes would let me look at. I'd take your radiator to a rad shop and be getting it flushed and rodded ASAP and i'd be putting a new fan hub right up the top of that list you got going there too.

    If your not going to use that TWD you've got rolling around at your feet in the foot well i'd get rid of the joiner you've got in your top radiator hose where the sensor is screwed into and get the hose replaced as its just another place for coolant to leak from.

    i wouldnt be worrying about horsepower at the moment sounds like you got alot of work to do maintenance wise, either start saving your penny's and pay someone to do it,, or instead of posting up crap spend your time on here reading and learning, read through everything in the tech section. nearly everything you need to no is on this forum, your 02's might be fine but you were told to unplug them a few times and still didn't??? it's only 2 connectors could be a simple fix..
    as 81ING said your cars in pretty poor condition water leaks and a fragile old harness, id be getting these things fixed before i drove anywhere if i where you! especially water leaks..

    I am (-_-')

    And I haven't touched my o2's because they where fine.
    Fixed the problem anyway, one of the hoses didn't like the way it was sitting so i repositioned it.

    I'm not gonna remove the o2's if they are workings fine :S If i run it today and its still rich, then i will.

    Man you've got so many things to fix it ain't funny. DON'T consider performance upgrades at this stage like timing adjustments and upping the boost (do you even know what they do?) Get new connectors if they're unserviceable.

    If this

    guy wants to up the boost, let him! 25psi and advance the timing to 30deg @ idle, go for i say!:banned:

    dude you don't have to remove them just unplug the 2 connectors for them! i wouldn't be running it at all if you got coolant leaks i suggest no more socializing for you and a lot of time spent fixing your car, or don't listen to the advise people are giving you and drive as is, just don't post up a thread about your engine blowing up.. you have been told whats wrong so go and fix it..

    Do you guys even know WTF I'm doing :S

    Unless your sitting in my bushes watching me, please don't tell me what I'm doing wrong

    Every pay check I get to see about $200 of it because the other 800 goes towards paying off the car and saving for the parts.

    I Drove it to work today to see if i fixed the problem but I havent.

    Now i will be disconnecting the o2 sensors to see if that is the problem, If not i will move to the next step.

    I'm not gona do any modding to my car until it is mechanically sound and up to beyond a suitable standard.

    Please stop pretending im strapping dynamite to it in an attempt to fix it.
    I dont know much about cars and im taking this one step at a time and thats all im asking for (-_-')

    haha wtf we're trying to help you, you say you have a problem so we look for a solution. You replaced spark plugs then you're running rough. Evidently some connectors are making a solid connection. Simple. The running rich and stumble at light throttle i assumed to be o2 sensors which is a simple diagnostic. But this has nothing to do really with the connectors, separate issues.

    Yer i know, thats why im testing them.

    I just dont get it when people tell me all the things i need to do.

    I know what needs to be done, ATM im just trying to fix one problem at a time, and the main problem i see here is.
    Its runnign shit.

    I'ma search the o2's now, go out and hopefully get them disconected and see what happens.

    Edit:
    ookk,, o2 returns no results :S

    are they called anything else?

    Rhy, please use the Tech Section, read, digest and use the info there!

    Type 'O2 oxygen sensors' into SEARCH box.

    Thread is approaching it's use-by-date. :(

    No, o2 sensors are o2 sensors. Other ways of saying it:
    - Oxygen sensor
    - o2 sensor

    There. Ok so you admit your car is running shit yes? So we've suggested TWO THINGS to fix the big problems at the moment. What do you expect when you have a problem? No suggestions? A magic button you can press and poof the problem is gone or what?

    I was doing one thing at a time..... I don't get it, why would I Change my plugs and unplug o2's if it was only my plugs?

    Now I'm trying to find out where the o2's are and how to unplug them.
    o2 returned nothing so I'm browsing oxygen sensors and reading post.

    WTF do you want me to do?

    Dad thinks its the injectors for some reason..?
    Any ideas their?
