where and how did u find the air leak? i have the simillar porblem with my 1.8valver. accelerating fine, onto second and power lost. pressed the clutch down and allow the engine go down to idle speed and fine again for some time. it may happen again straight away, or it may happen some miles later.
still need help with that, i've checked every plug there is on sensors, but still nothing. but i understood that its flooding the engine while starting, theres a big smell of gasoline. that's why it wouldnt start that well. when it starts it judders for a while and there's white smoke coming out...
ok, 2 new problems, firstly while drivin, all the power is lost for a few moments, than i play with the gas pedal and few moments later, it starts so pull again. sometimes it's like this two times in a row, so after the first time i get up to speed, and than it happends again, sometimes i can...
i did some research on my own and I'm sorry for doubting you before.
but u seem to know much about those engines, so here's another question, the compression ratio of that engine is 10,0:1(pretty high), so should i use 98 octane fuel for it or the regular 95. autodata says minimum is RON95 but...
one car for sure was that same Ford Probe, i did several things to it and had to drive it until its hot to see if the rocker cover seals hold up and to see if those washers did what their job of raising the pressure. after startup the needle never moved.
ohh thats good news, i thougt there's something wrong with my car, life begun at 4500rpm. but asi it turns out its usual for those engines. Thanks for telling me that :)
please don't judge me before u know me.
but ok , now i know that renault isn't like any other car, I've driven some cars with a gauge and those gauges were in the same exact place, no matter the rpm.
but case closed on that subject, i don't want to argue thro the internet.
something doesnt add up, oil pressure should always be the same, no matter idling or hi revs, there's a oil pressure regulator with a spring and a ball right next to the pump. if the pressure raises with engine rpm's it's surely a pump failure, because it cannot make pressure on idling. that i...
but there should be some room for error, because otherwise it's completely useless when it is warning me when its too late. but as i understand there is a secondary switch to warn me about the low oil pressure? besides the sensor for the gauge?
