Cant figure it out- idling like crap
 
About a month ago my motor got blown due to FI.
I ordered a new motor and returned my car to stock about 4 days ago. Here is the kicker.
I was driving today and my car stalled in traffic. I started it back up and it is idling rough and a loud knocking sound is coming from the passenger wheel. I checked the coils, sparkplugs and checked for vacuum leaks; All of which checked out fine unless I'm missing somthing.:banghead:

Later i cleaned the MAF sensor and the car ran good for about 10 minutes, then back to running like crap.

ok I ran a test and got these error codes
PO113
PO171B
PO300B
PO507
PO302
I changed the coils and wires and the car is still shaking while idling. It seems to rev fine, but im still getting a misfire.

Is the motor mount loose on the pass side? I have heard that the knock sensor likes the sound of an engine on busted mounts and will create all sorts of havoc. Like what you are seeing.

May I ask, why go back to stock? I figure it would have been a golden opportunity to boost higher.

The car just idles rough and the engine is seems to me rocking side to side slightly. I'm gonna check the motor mount today.

I went back to stock because the first motor blew lol.

SHould have order a Street Port Engine from RotaryPower and put your FI back on, what did you do with your FI? Are you gonna sell it?

remixlp 05-30-2009 01:42 PM

I already sold it. I plan on using a different kit soon.

What did you do with the blown motor??

remixlp 06-01-2009 12:11 PM

in my friends garage.

Phish806 06-01-2009 12:37 PM

what actual damage was done to it? Apex seal or something more?

remixlp 06-01-2009 07:42 PM

we have yet to open it. I just got pissed and bought a new engine which just happens to be pissing me off right now lol.

Phish806 06-01-2009 09:09 PM

Just out of curiosity ... you do a compression test on it?

Race Roots 06-02-2009 01:52 PM

Pull the Injectors and check them as well, the car running lean could be from that which would lead to misfires....

I was experiencing this same issue recently with a supercharged RX-8.

That is if you Fuel Pump is good.
