any one know of any wrightups on knock sensor replacement on the VG? seems like my timing is retarding more as the car gets warmer.

 

Don't think the VG has one. Usually on higher compression engines.

 

man what can it be?

 

Well, I need more info, then i can give you my ideas. Feels like it's retarding the timing? That will not happen in our cars to my knowlege. What's happening and at what RPM? Losing top end I assume.

 

well when ill frist get in it runs fine as i drive it longer the more to rpms drop .So at frist it will not pull above 4k then as it gets warmer 3k then after a hour or so it wont rev above 2k,but it will rev just fine in park.

 

But your lucky cause its below the exhaust manifold on the rear of the engine. You can jack the car up and get to it. Mine on the other hand is buried undrnrath the intake manifold meaning a 7-10 hour job. Those damm japs!

 

thanks for any help guys

 

I hope its not,the darn things are $300.00

 

Shouldn't be the fuel pump. If the fuel pump is dying then you should have idle trouble from the get-go, and the car becomes increasingly more difficult to start (at least that's what I saw). And, for some reason, although an OEM fuel pump is $300, a Walbro high output one is only $100. Go figure! I managed to find an OEM for $120, but the brand sketched me out, so if it fails again, I think I'll know why.

 

if it could be a injector? what happens when the injector gos out?

 

i think if it's an injector it would be like a misfire. have you checked you ecu for codes?

 

I gess I need to search for that huh?

 

Maybe it's the catalytic converter. If that's shot then it'll run worse when it gets hot.

 

hum what else to check?

 

I feel offended, yet...not.

 

I was waiting for someone to bring that up...let's keep it PC people

 

Ay Male, what does "PC" stand for?
