Car is bogging down/ has little power (Videos)

koessl · February 24th, 2010, 01:02 AM

I did the full PI Swap on my car. But she seems to have NO power. and bogs down if i get on it. I have a few videos..

The alternator plug doesnt want to stay connected... and the idle goes up like 300-400 rpms when there is a bad connection to it.

The squeek is my PS Pump I think.

And Its pretty much running open headers right now. Anyways... if anyone has ideas please help me out...

Thanks in advance

Oh yea, and I switched the plugs to Bosche platinum 4's Good move or Bad move? It seemed wierd because they say not to gap them? Could this be causing the misfire if thats what this is?

sharkbait · February 24th, 2010, 01:08 AM

Id go with NGK plugs.

Also are you running without your o2's? Cause that could be the issue right there

koessl · February 24th, 2010, 01:16 AM

one of the O2 sensors is broke and i think the wires are melted on the other.

so that'll make it run like that?

sharkbait · February 24th, 2010, 01:22 AM

Yea the car right now has no way of controlling its A/F ratio because it has no clue of what it is! So fix them and you should be good to go!

koessl · February 24th, 2010, 01:26 AM

if that fixes it... i will owe you big time. like 4 gallons of beer kind of big time.

koessl · February 24th, 2010, 01:27 AM

would that cause wicked hesitation too?

sharkbait · February 24th, 2010, 01:30 AM

Ohh yes lol. Your car right now has no clue whats going on. Im suprised its even drivable

koessl · February 24th, 2010, 01:32 AM

It's not so drivable. It took me 4 tries to drive it 2 miles. (Bad move I know, but I was so frusterated I didn't care.

I'm excited again. THANKS!

sharkbait · February 24th, 2010, 01:37 AM

All good glad i could help bro. And iv been there before haha

Get her new o2s and she'll be kicking ass and takin names

koessl · February 24th, 2010, 01:49 AM

fantastic. Ill tackle this saturday then!

koessl · February 25th, 2010, 04:10 PM

What would not having that 2nd coolant temp sensor do? (the one you have to drill and tap for next to the thermostat)

sharkbait · February 25th, 2010, 04:18 PM

still bogging down on you bro?

all i can think of it doing is not giving the engine the correct temp. Probobly messing up you open and closed loop. But i dont think it will make your motor bog down

koessl · February 25th, 2010, 05:58 PM

I havent had the chance to get at it yet (payday is tomorrow), Ill probably buy the sensors tomorrow and put em in at lunch.

Speedstang302 · February 25th, 2010, 11:38 PM

i didnt drill and tap for the second sensor on mine..and my coolent fan stays on 24/7 and my temp gauge (stock one) doesnt read. its not going to overheat. just get annoying.

Ethan79 · February 26th, 2010, 12:18 AM

o2 sensors or fuel filter?

sharkbait · February 26th, 2010, 12:26 AM

He dosnt have any o2s. So its got to be the o2s

02GT89 · February 27th, 2010, 02:16 AM

its definatly going to be your 02's your car's computer is in a state of mind as you would be assuming you just got in a bad car wreck and have no idea wat's going on your car is confused and disoriented has no a/f ratio and the open headers if your not careful will internally fuck up your shit bad time!

koessl · February 27th, 2010, 03:12 PM

it was was missing one 02 sensor.

BUT my engine did think that my coolant and my oil would be good friends. sooo... im returning the O2 sensors and new plugs i just got... then taking my $120, and getting irreversibly drunk.

today = shitty.

sharkbait · February 27th, 2010, 03:26 PM
