New Problems Arise Options

[scorp28]

Well I installed the new (used) 1G throttle body and after adjusting the throttle cable and BISS and everything the idle was alot smoother although still rough. After all that was done I took it out for a drive to see if it was any better on the road and it still drove the same. When you are off the gas or just cruising at a steady speed the car seems like it is cutting out and is real jerky.

At one point I take off slowly from a stop sign till I get across the intersection and then I put the gas to the floor to build up about 5 psi just to see if everything is sealed up ok and all of a sudden I hear this horrid sound. My first thought was that one of the wheels in the turbo was rubbing. I sounded like what it would sound like if you were to spin the compressor wheel of a turbo when it was slightly touching the housing only much louder. I drove around for another minute and kept tapping the go pedal and when it would get up nesr 0 on the boost gauge I would hear it and then it would slow down and go away. When I got back home I listened under the hood and the sound was coming from the intake man so I am assuming that the intake gasket is blown. Have any of you had that happen? Is that what it sounds like? Would that cause my boost gauge at idle to read 5-6 in Hg of vacuum?

Also I am hearing what sounds like a rod knocking at idle but it goes away, or at least you can't hear it anymore when you give it gas. I have had a car that had a rod knocking and it would get faster and louder with gas not go away. It does not sound like lifter tick, it is a deeper sound. Any ideas?

I also had oil all of a sudden start leaking out of what appeared to be the oil supply line. I shut the car off and tightened that maybe 1/8th. I am not sure if that was it because it was leaking pretty profusely (about 1 drop every second or two) but when When I started the car again it was no longer leaking even after about 5 min. of running.


Adam...........could you take you compression tester to work tomorrow night so that I could use it.

Thanks
