when this happend and I got underneath the car my starter is pretty much just snapped in half..I will get pics up tonight of it..I have them on my camera... here is what it should look like...wait until later... http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k1...w/a59f_1_b.jpg |
When did your starting troubles begin?
|
its been like that for a while....almost since I have put on the procharger.

okay will do I will check the reciept when I get home.
|
I have to give it some gas now, I think cause of the bigger injectors. Dont think that would have caused your problems...... Curious as to what the dealership may have done....
|
I have starting problems only after I fill-er-up on gas. Takes 2-3 rounds of some continued cranking for 4-5 seconds. And I have 440s and walbro...no fuel return line.
|
yeah I am the same way..I have called 4 times today and cannot get anyone to answer.

also, i doubt this blown engine can be traced to the procharger itself. let's not be so quick to judge... more than likely, it was the tune, which mysteriously cuts off at mid-5k RPM :confused2:. also, u'r A/F ratio seems WAY too rich... mine stays between 11.5-12.0 until close to redline, when it leans out a bit. |

It would not matter if the dealer put in just 5 qts as that is what the engine takes.He has a spacer which gives the added protection of 1 more qt.
