runs like crap

[86bluet]

thought the new stall, chip and injectors would fix it but runs worse, is there anyone on the west side of Houston that tunes on these things or could help? at my witts end with this car, only thing I don't have is a powerlogger but I guess I will order that Monday

Have you posted the problem and items you have already replaced?
Runs like crap is a pretty vague description.
There is alot of knowledge on this board. Most guys can get things ironed out pretty quickly.
Also my app does not show sigs but make sure you also post details about your car.

How about compression, leak down, and cam timing? Has the stock timing set been replaced yet?


Any rattles, or odd noises going on?


Throwing bolt-on parts on top of an engine that's ill running and/or not mechanically sound is a recipe for disaster.

How did it run b/f the slot style MAF? Some people have not had good results with that style MAF.

ran fine before restoring it, did not check comp or leak down, new chain set, new springs, new oil pump, new used converter now it rattles in idle/park, the more I try to make things right the worse it gets, made to much boost, turned wgate down ran better, took while to make boost then came on instantly, put scanmaster in and injectors and chip TT recommended for the mods I have now won't get out of its own way.

put the slot in and drove it, ran alright would take forever to build boost and when it did it would go to 22 psi in an instant could not drive it, turned boost down, still slow to boost drove better but felt like it was pulling lots of timing out, was thinking old kenne bell chip and green strip inj were not liking it any more and up to the task, emailed TT recommended 60lbs and chip, got them in finally and bigger stall
and it runs and idles terrible wants to die all the time wont build any boost even in a 1/4 mile, not blaming anyone but myself I guess I need to put the powerlogger in so I can see what is going on

Sounds like you need to get back to basic basic basics, get it running right then start adding parts one at a time.

You can start with pressurizing the intake system to look for vacuum leaks. Check for exhaust leaks and cracked headers.

too late stock parts are mia fixed the header already

When was the new chain? Before or after it running like crap? What about plug wires, they in the correct spot? Injector wiring in the correct spots?
