Motors hurt...

[ASUSMC]

Pulled the valve covers off tonight as well as yanked the plugs. Number one plug (driver side front) had obviously been hit by something cause there was no gap at all and the electrode was sitting on the part that actually sparks. Ran a compression test on that cylinder and it was 110ish so thats good to go. The timing chain was a little loose on the bottom so I'm thinking that the chain might have just jumped a link and messed up the timing. Won't know for sure until I get more done to the motor.

Shane or Dan is that possible or have you heard of it before cause if thats it I may still have some time to save for the new motor

So today I ran a compression test on all cylinders and all fo that actually checked out. All were within 10psi of each other so I know the motor is fine. Now the blower is making wierd noises so I don't know whats going on there.

We have actually at this point determined that it is a fuel delivery issue. The loud pop I heard and why the motor has been running like crap 50% of the time is something in the fuel system just isn't keeping up when I rev the car. After I rev it hard the motor comes down and runs like ****. If you start it back up immediately and try to run it it just dies and won't stay running. BUT if I shut it down, then cycle the key on and off a few times (to let the fuel pump load and build pressure again) the car idles like a dream and runs fine as long as I don't rev it hard.

does the gt have a fuel rail pressure sensor like the 32v's do?

[ASUSMC]

Yep and the car showed no codes

hmmm....seems to me thats what the car would do if that sucker popped. but i would call the guys at psr first and ask thier .02....

What are you running for a fuel system? Which pump and injectors are you running?

Update. Knew this a couple days ago but it never dawned on me to post it. Broke part of the piston on driver side front off. Apparently it shot out the exhaust. I still have compression in that cylinder and the car runs fine. So I'm driving it until it finally pops completely.

I need a fuel system and may just leave the one I have in there until I too can find that extra cash to get the complete return fuel system w dual pumps.
