Hey Guys,
I bought My 1990 Ta In sept 2005 and from then to about 4 months ago Ive learned alot about the car. Learned how retarded my mechanic was by not knowing that 1990 was speed density and that the whole thing about the mass air wire being cut and tucked away was Just a Line of Bull$hit..Then From the service engine soon Code 43 and being told that someone removed the EST " the module mounted with the 3 relays by the brake booster" and clipped the pigtail, all to do some research and ask reputable 3rd gen guys to find that my 1990's computer controled that part, and either that part in the computer went bad or the aftermarket chip was no good..Chip was Copyrighted 1993..haha, so I pulled the piggy back chip out, and Just installed the stock chip back in and their was NO SERVICE engine soon light, car started right up, no problems... I adjusted the timing, and the car runs alot better then it did... I have spent a lot of time on this car, and Ive worked extremly hard to undo all the Unnessesary, Stupid, Cheap Half a$$ed " Modifications that the previous Owners did before me..I even went as far as to get the Pigtail for the cars stereo Harness because that was clipped....:mad:
I have some questions Maybe You guys can help me out with and Ill explain the problem as best as I can..
She starts right up, She runs, theirs no problem there. The problem I noticed is when, I start her cold It dont Stink of exhaust as bad as it does when it gets Warm...and When I tell you guys stink, I mean STINK of exhaust.. I went back to work and I smelled of that stuff all day long.. I let my buddy take it up the block and when he got half way away from me, I guess he stepped on the gas a bit But It blew out Greyish black smoke for a like 3 seconds, It disappeared Immediatly the smoke, it wasnt like Oil smoke when your rings go and smokes out your whole neighborhood, and it never gives off a sweet smell or bright white smoke ever.. this motor was rebuilt, everything new.. when I let it sit and Idle if I kneel Down I can see the smoke comming out of the exhaust, and with the smell I wanna say its running rich, But its throwing No codes at all.... It also shakes and the car goes from side to side. and I noticed Hesitation in the low rpm range but its rough under acceleration to like 35oo rpm then is smooth?..also their is condensation.. It made a wet spot in my drive way, I just cant think of what it could be besides something sensor related, Or maybe I hooked up the vaccume lines wrong? I hear no hissing comming from the engine except for the throttle body, and I have the aftermarket BBK 58 MM throttlebody with a new Idle air...tps is original, 7 injectors are not new 1 was replaced.. O2 sensor is new, But I noticed where the wire goes in their is a crack in the porcelin?..EGR is Brand new? what could this be??
