Old Toyota question: I've got an 83 supra 5MGE that was totalled a couple years back and I've just started making it roadworthy again. The last time I smogged it (CA, about 3 years ago) it failed because the cats were bad those got replaced and all was well. This time it passed cats, but failed EGR. I'm assuming the EGR valve and poo poo are stuck from sitting for two years so I'm going to try to clean that before shelling out any money. Anyone have any suggestions as to what to clean/replace that would further my chances of passing? While I'm at it, same car has a weird electrical gremlin that causes the power windows to not work for 10 minutes or so on a cold start. I've replaced relays, fuses and the big circuit breaker in the window wiring line. Ever seen something like that? Frozen Pizza Party fucked around with this message at 08:01 on Jan 2, 2015 |

Uthor posted:Stupid question: the folks have a 2011 Subaru Forester. It had a CEL on, dealership cleared it up. I was googling to get more info and am curious if there is a common nomenclature to narrow down my search to the relevant years. Pretty much all OBDII will have the same codes. If you know the code, just google it and you'll have no trouble finding out what it is and how to triubleshoot

Uthor posted:Well, I could Google the code (p0303 cylinder #3 misfire), but was curious if this was a common problem with that generation. I was seeing a lot of posts for older cars (2004-ish) and wanted to narrow it down some. Turned out there was an ECU update that I wasn't seeing when searching. Nice, I was going to suggest nasioc as well, but wasn't sure if you just wanted to know what the code was. My Subaru knowledge ends in MY08

), but this is also my first turbo car (and my first turbo upgrade 
). I got a custom chip tune from a friend of mine, and I have thought maybe it could be something along those lines, but I haven't really checked my turbo inlet, (something I am doing tomorrow when its not raining 
) but overall I am not sure if there are other things that I should be testing/checking.

Foehammer007 posted:Software, and no I have not compared with others, I do not know many GTIs with upgraded turbos in my area (Atlanta, GA). I know of one guy with a E30 that had sort of a similar A/R as I do, but then he blew his engine. I'd check around, it's pretty normal to have some sort of falloff. Example, my stageII STi would peak at 18psi and hold 15.9.

kastein posted:Mr. Wiggles, it really sounds like a wiring issue to me as well if it isn't that CPS reluctor ring issue. If you are anywhere near central or northeastern mass I can drop by and take a poke at it, otherwise, not really sure what you should do. Is the oil too heavy to suck out of the top this way? This could be life changing.

Mercury Ballistic posted:My 04 wrx with 5 speed manual has a smell that comes from the vents. The clutch is 3000 miles new, as is the flywheel. The smell shows up when the car is warm and the car is stopped. The smell to me smells like burning clutch but it shows up even if I baby it. The smell is stronger the faster I drive. Could be various engine smells coming through the firewall plug, which may have come dislodged. My engine stink got noticeably stinkier when I forgot to put the plug back in after running an amp wire.
