First of all, I've posted this over at protegeclub.com and it seems like there isn't anybody over there anymore and I'm not barely getting any responses. So here it is... maybe somebody can help me out here.
Alright I'm pretty upset with my car. Me, my dad, and my friends have been looking at it, messing with it, trying to do everything to make it work correctly... but it isn't. Here are my main issues right now: after about 10 minutes of driving the air/fuel ratio will go over to lean and stay there for the remander of the driving session, the car tends to hesistate between the 2k-3k rpm range... usually when just driving normal speed, and now for some reason my boost controller isn't controlling my boost at all!
The only thing left to try to resolve the air/fuel readings is buying a new O2 sensor. Because when it says its running lean... it still seems rich because you can smell the fuel, plus I get crappy gas milage. We have messed with the Haltech and played around with the ignition timing at those rpm levels as well as fuel and everything.... and we can't totally resolve that. Even though we have been playing around with the vacuum lines... the line from the wastegate to the boost controller is fine and should be working right like before... but it's not. In turn... the turbo wants to spool up real quick and pull like hell. Plus now I hear my wastegate a lot louder than before, and less of my BOV..... weird stuff.
I would really appreciate some help and wisdom from you guys.
