Turkeylord Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 ^Do that, and cycle the key a bunch of times to flush the old stuff out of the lines. A 10sec job with the engine out of the car. Took me like an hour. Working on the engine sucks when it's in the car! #spoiled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RooTBeeR Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 I think I'm going to wait until Mike send me my AP v3, then I'll pop off the fuel lines, turn the key on and let it pump the old crap out the new stuff in the tank and then put it all back on and see how it goes. But I'm pretty sure that noise has nothing to do with the fuel unfortunately "Build" Thread <--Link (OLD) '05 EJ255 now a '13 EJ257 Bottom End w/D25 heads (NEW) Forever Slow [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FJuan Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Dude, you're dealing with 2 year old fuel. Fuel starts breaking down within 4 months. Take that fuel and put it in a lawn mower and see what happens. Did you get any CELs after start up? My wife's balls are delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RooTBeeR Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 I know old had is bad, but I still don't think it's causing the noise. Sounds mechanical.

kzr750r1 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 One of the cams off a tooth possibly? That is a strange noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FJuan Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 If the cams are off a tooth then you'll get rough idle and/or some back fires. He has some major knocks going on. Hopefully it's just a fuel issue. Fingers crossed. My wife's balls are delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhino6303 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Do you have the original pcv set up still? There is an electrical connector where the pcv connects to the inlet; it is a gray plug. If you removed the gray plug you must take the metal clip from the plug and insert it in the connector. Without the clip in the connector the car will have that code.

I did pull it off and put it back on. I'll check out the plug tomorrow though, thanks!

RooTBeeR Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 UPDATE! Ran some old fashioned sound diagnostics(I listened, and used my previous experiences). narrowed it to the PS pump, or ALT. Pretty sure its the alternator though. going to throw the belt back on and then use a socket extension to see if im right...im hoping bearings are ok and that i jsut had the belt too tight. 1st clip, control, no change 2nd clip, A/C on, no change 3rd clip, no PS/ALT belt, sound is gone.

MTBwrench Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Yay for easy diagnosis! Maybe your belt was just too tight? Not gonna lie though, sounds like bad bearings to me... or one of the brushes cracked and is chunking around against the commutator on the alt.

RooTBeeR Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 Can you run the engine with out the belt on the Alt ? Of course. I did in that vid actually. The belt is sitting on the intake. Yes but it will use up the battery pretty quickly, since all electrical power is only coming from the battery. This. Only ran it for a little bit, & I did have the battery charger on it while I was running it.
