SignUp Now!Yes it does.When you first turn the ignition key, does your fuel pump start & run for about 2 seconds?
If you still have the door chime working, you may not be able to hear the pump run. If the pump is not starting, you probably need to replace the fuel pump relay located on the passenger side fender-well.
There is a back-up fuel pump circuit that will start the pump after the oil pressure exceeds 4 psi.
I believe so.Do you still have the factory MAF?
Would any of these mods effect how long it takes for the car to crank over?
ta49 turbo
36# injectors
160 thermostat
100# comp valve springs
turbo tweak chip
fuel pump w /hot wire kit
My car took longer to start than usual a day or two before the MAF failed.I believe so.
My car seems to take about 10 cranks before she turns over. With my other cars its like one or two cranks to start. Is this normal? My car has a chip, T49 turbo and larger injectors.
From the beginningHow long has this condition been going on? Ever since you owned the car or after doing any work on it? we need info the more the better.
Gave your idea a try but all seems to be spot on. Thanks for the suggestion.My suggestion will not cost you a dime!
Take a marker and draw a line on the cam sensor to the timing cover as a baseline index.
Loosen the cam sensor and move it slightly. You may have to do this a few times in each direction to determine where the engine is "happy".
I know these are "electric" cars, but first and foremost they are mechanical.
Parts wear and things change like the timing chain, which can and will affect performance.
This may or may not help, but it is simple and rather cheap, which is the route I try to take when trouble shooting.
