    running rough... need ideas.

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    ok, so I'm currently running a K04 with REVO, see sig for the rest.

    The car idles fine, and runs fine at full boost. However, when I'm just barely on the throttle it is rough as hell.

    It isn't: MAF, symptoms exist whether or not it is plugged in.
    Plugs: running the Bosch ones that Ecode recommends
    Coils: brand new set in today.

    anybody have any ideas?

    Oh, right... I'm also in Montana visiting my dad for christmas and trying to leave for portland tomorrow, which doesn't look like it'll happen, but either way, I need to get home to LA.

    Thanks for any thoughtful responses.

    Re: running rough... need ideas.

    greg... you being sarcastic or serious?

    if that's the case, am I looking at a full valve job to fix the problem? Also, should it not be driven until the problem is taken care of?

    thanks,

    Re: running rough... need ideas.

    You can probably run some water through the intake and clear it up. This is how Sarabi described how to do it to me...

    1.) Remove a vacuum line to the intake.

    2.) Use something to spray the water into the intake (bug sprayer works good)

    3.) Rev the motor to 3500-4000 RPMs and add the H20, the car will try to die if it does quit spraying.

    4.) Do this for about 10 minutes.

    You could also do seafoam.
