exhaust leak symtoms? - SRT Forums

turboblacksrt · 05-07-2008, 06:53 PM

car idles fine but as soon as i give it gas between 2300-3200 revs, i notice like it misses and kinda sounds like bad lifters, after 3200ish its fine, also at times either when shifting at that rpm range or just coming out of a stop i give it gas and its like if i didn't and all of the sudden it catches on.. any inputs?

first you shouldnt walk on it while under 2800-3000 rpm, its def not a exhaust leak you would hear a difference in the tone of the car, all the time if it was, and sorta sounds like maybe your clutch could be slippin, how many miles/kilometers you have on it?

Well maybe then its not an exhaust leak, it does idles fine its just around that rpm range that it's noisy and the other issue, also exhaust "farts" a lot more now, clutch is fine is fairly new

when pressing gas pedal at times, theres a delay for 1 sec or 2 , like if the car its running extremely rich or lean and then it catches back to normal, i might start to think its ignition related, i pour'd a bottle of stp complete fuel system cleaner to see if would help, thinking it was a clogged inj or whatnot but nah it didn't help a bit

Could be a bad ignition coil BUT since you don't list your mods and give anymore additional details it's hard to pin point it.

60trim, e-cutout, stock catback, ragetek fuel rail and fpr,750rc's, msd 8.5 wires, safc2, etc

nah, i know for sure thats not it

To be sure its NOT an exhaust least, use some sea foam and look for leaks, thats what I did.

just tried a new ignition coil and issue still there so ignition coil is scratched out,

turboblacksrt · 05-09-2008, 08:00 PM

car kinda stumbles, missfires during light-medium acceleration, what gives?

I have the same problem it almost feels like you lost 75% of your power for a second on take off. I narrowed it down to the tps wiring using the scanguage. The tps voltage would not move when I gave it gas during the time it was doing that or something along those lines. Havent had time to do the rewire kit, but this is most likely your problem.

turboblacksrt · 05-09-2008, 08:07 PM

surprised i dont get any cel codes, prob trying that you said^^^, and plugs and msd wires

CIVICEATER · 05-09-2008, 08:09 PM

Nope I didnt get a codes either. If you have a scanguage or anykind of datalogger look at tps voltage when this is happening it does not match where your foot is on the gas pedal if you know what I mean in a 0-5v sensor say you give it a little gas where youd get 1.2v it will all of a sudden shoot to like 3.3v and then back down to the 1.2v without you foot pushing the pedal down any further.
