Lukaniuk Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Well it just seems like theres no end to the issues I have to deal with. Doing some tuning with megasquirt (which seems to be working well btw) I try and accelerate and bang! I stop immediately, it still idles, but barely. I limp home (parents house) hating myself because I think I've toasted something. I do a pressure test and its strong 120 psi across the board but the 5th and 6th spark plugs are black. I pulled the fuses out of the relay board so that I wasn't spraying fuel during the pressure test and when I was putting them back I notice that all I did was blow a fuse for the injectors. I had the PWM Current Limit too high I think. Anyways, I change the fuse and its running good again, but I'm losing a fair amount of coolant. I drove the car home that night (25-30 minute drive) and my coolant is down something like 2-3L. I'm thinking now that I have blown the headgasket and am burning antifreeze in the 5th and 6th cylinders. Am I on the right track, or is this even possible? btw. I hope to get a good writeup of my project with lots of pictures together soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wigenOut-S30 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Are you seeing any white smoke coming out of the tail pipe? Is it pushing coolent out of the coolent resevoir? Have you checked for leaks? you could have a hose leaking but only under pressure. I would get the car up to temp and then check it out while its running. See if you can see anything leaking.
