How does the pedal feel, if it's soft and seem to not have pressure, you may have air in the lines; otherwise, check the neutral safety switch. There's a little button on the bracket which is pressed when the pedal is depressed. If the travel distance of the pedal fails to make contact with the button, you may have to adjust it by pulling that up. It's going to feel firm and seems it won't give because the button's shaft is serrated. You just have to pull it up harder.

Europeans are smart enough not to need neutral safety switches :p

Ahh, I should have thought of that since Japan didn't in their cars, as well.

You may have to possibly let some air out.

Sturmgezhutz

and that happens from where :D

Sturmgezhutz

from the little "nipple" from the clutch slave cylinder or what was it called?

I think so, just as we do with our brake system: Clutch Fluid Replacement

This is totally a shot in the dark, maybe you already checked, but not long ago I had a similar issue. I took my intake out for some work and after putting it back together the car would hardly idle without me giving some gas to keep it alive. When I gave it gas AFR was all over the place. Turned out I forgot to hook the MAF sensor back up :-)

Sturmgezhutz

maybe, that will come clear today when im going to take of the intake and check the injector connections

That engine sounds like complete ****... It might be the sound quality, but the video is very clear so I imagine the sound is spot on as well..

If I read your previous post correctly the "new" engine has 35k on it?

Who and where did you buy it from?

Did you have any issues with the install, anything that didn't fit right?

Let us know how the injectors/coil pack hunt goes.

Good luck.

Sturmgezhutz

the sound quality is ****, it's a low budget waterproof camera so the voice record is not the priority in that equipment :D

i bought it from UK via a import dealer that i have used before to buy cars and parts.

no major issues were during the installation, everything went as it should be.

got the intake out just now and checked the injector connections

as i took the intake out i saw that the fuel line was not connected securely, the "cavitys" in the engine block were full of gasoline...

maybe my problem was there, maybe not.. i wasn't any kind of rough when taking the intake off so it had to be loose before that.

heres a very good looking picture that i made of my wiring diagram and wire colos for you guys

so this is how my connectors are connected.. can anybody verify this to be correct?

Sturmgezhutz

according to this


it's not right?

Sturmgezhutz

ripped the motor apart again and wired the connectors for injectors right and damn it purrs like i kitten

so everything is working now correctly and im happy

so the porblem was wrongly connected injectors, and theres only me to blame for that.
but you make mistakes to learn.

big thanks for all you who helped!!!

LOL Awesome great to hear and thanks for the update.

I just happen to know a certain vendor that struggled for a very long time with his RX8 because he wired the injectors wrong.

It's an easy mistake to make

Sturmgezhutz

i just went for the easy way after i assumed "naah, i will remember the order"

Excellent! that sounds much better!!

Those little fuel line clips can be a giant pain in the ***, some people recommend getting a worm gear clamp and putting it over the colored plastic part of the hose. That engine will 100% catch fire due to a leak there.

Glad you got everything working man, do you know about the new engine break-in procedure?

Sturmgezhutz

i think i have read about somekind of a break-in procedure... but don't remember anything of it though..

clutch is still dead ish..

i got it once in gear and jumped the car forwards couple inch, after that theres like invisible wall blocking the gears...

could it be that there is air in the lines or what :O?

shadycrew31

iTrader: (6)

There could be I'd try bleeding the line and seeing what happens.

Also I'm assuming you put in a new clutch, if so the pedal may need to be adjusted there's a bunch of info on that just look around.

Sturmgezhutz

yea i installed exedys stage 1 street clutch..

oh ok, i'll take look at that clutch pedal adjustment, might be just that

thanks

Sturmgezhutz

i just looked that the pedal adjustmen instructions and went to my car and took a look at it and to be honest..

i don't have clue what to do.. which way do i need to adjust it

towards the engine or to me? :O

Grace_Excel

Bleed your line of air as suggested by shady then you can see if the clutch pedal's travel have to be adjusted.

Sturmgezhutz

pedal adjustment did the trick, works fine now.

did a 20mile test run and everything works great
