I have just got home from work and taken off the piping from the turbo to the inlet. Several minutes after turning the car off, the injector was dripping very slowly. Could this be the cause of my idle problem and why my car runs so rich?

Red smoke looks pretty shit too!!! :P
My car is running soo rich, I'm gonna tape on a catch pot on the exhaust to collect the fuel and sell it back to Caltex at 113.9cents/litre!!!!!


I've lost the fucking plot!!!! :?

Oh, what should the idle rpm be? Until now, it has always been around 800-900rpm.

So how do I check/adjust the TPS and the ISC? :?

It was oil first, then coolent, then oil again, and then fuel, then oil and fuel, then lack of fuel, then oil again, now fuel!!!! :(

Now me to cope with the nerves !!!!!Haha

I am going to stuff the exaust with red chalk powder tomorrow just for a new look I haven't tried yet.

The boost gauge is remaining constant. This might be a stupid question but what does TPS and ISC stand for? Doesn't appear to be any vac leaks, how would I check the air flow meter?
Cheers guys

Hi all, I have given up trying to stop my car from blowing smoke :pimp I have done everything I can think of over the last couple of years and nothing has worked so I have come to the conclusion that Mitsubishi designed them that way, and who am I to play god and mess with nature!!! :twisted: My car...

Hi guys and gals. On the way to work yesterday every time i stopped at lights, the idle was all over the place! It didn't stall but was rising and falling between about 400rpm and 1200rpm. It is still doing it today so it looks like I'll have to do something about it and it's not one of those "...

Yeah, I'll give it a go this weekend. I got the seal yesterday (2 actually, incase I fuck one up!!) Thanks for the advise. :D

Great, I've only just got it back together and was not looking forward to pulling it apart again. :D

Drilling into it sounds a bit risky. Do ya reckon it'll cost much to get a machanic to do it?

I am leaking oil from around the crankshaft pulleys. I am guessing it will be the oil ring. Can it be replaced without taking the the whole bottom end apart? ie: remove all pulleys, somehow extract damaged oil ring & insert new oil ring?!? :?

Hi guys. I have just got my JB back together after replacing the head gasket, valve stem seals, regrownd valves etc. and a good clean up. (the piston rings seemed fine) It seems to be running a bit lean at idle (especialy when cold) and a bit rich on full boost. Any ideas? :? oh, I have tried to che...

I am in Sydney on the North side.

it is running just over standard boost. I had the turbo completely rebuilt about a year ago and was running great after that, until recently. if it is a fuel or oil problem, is there some tests I can do before I start pulling her apart? What sould I be looking for with a compression test?

Hi guys, I need advise. My JB Starion is blowing a lot of smoke, as per usual. :roll: Once it is warmed up it doesn't seem to blow smoke at idle but when driving and especially under boost, it blows a lot. :pimp It is a greyish smutty smoke. The turbo seems to be fine so I'm guessing it must be ring...
