I'm starting a new thread with everything I know so far.
The car was running great for the first time in years and did so for a month or so.
I was driving with a friend and his girl doing around 20mph and I romped on it. I've done this a few times in the last month.
The car dropped from 1st to 2nd and pulled harder than anything I've ever seen.
19 to 20 psi no knock on 93.
After that I noticed a slight skip here and there. It idles rougher too. The skip seems worse at a mid throttle rpm around 3500 or so. Blms are at 142 and int is at 128 but does rise at idle some times.
I've done a compression test and all pistons are around 135.
All plugs look great with a light brown color.
I replaced the coil pack and ignition module with my old known good one. No change.
I replaced the ecm no change.
I replaced the chip with my old good one. No change. I DID NOT UNPLUG THE ECM WHEN CHANG ING THE CHIP. COULD I HAVE DAMAGED THE CHIP?
All plug wires checked. Look fine.
All intercooler hoses are fine.
Vac lines are fine.
MY PHONE SUCKS SO I KEEP EDITING THIS MAIN THREAD.
Also right around this same time I did an oil change and had oil pressure but after that short blast I had no boil pressure.
Pulled over engine sounds fine.
Took a breather off and as I revved engine I could see oil spitting around.
Also took turbo feed line off and stuck it in an empty water bottle we have oil.
Checked the oil sender with a volt meter and it had voltage at the oil filter and at the gauge. Can't remember how much.
Could my gauge have just died during this issue?
I can't help but feel they are all connected.
