klze bog/stumble

Post by timpronk »

Hi,<p>I installed my klze about 2 yrs ago. It has run great up until a few weeks ago.<p>Symptoms:
1. Stumbles ever so slightly at around 1.5 g's
2. Intermittantly bogs on full throttle. (kinda feels like a sparkplug wire isnt connected, but they all are)<p>I have the 92 shop manual. I checked in the troubleshooting area, it says it may be fuel pump/ regulator, plugged exhaust...<p>It also suggests it could be ignition related. But I have had my external coil/ignition in for a yr and have had no probs with that. <p>I cant check the fuel pressure becouse I dont have a gauge that will read high enough.<p>So could it be
1. fuel pump (orig pump with 270,000km)
2. Distributor cap (I have used it for 2yrs)
3. Catalytic Converter (On the car for 7yrs)<p>Any recomendations on what fuel pump to purchase?<p>and does anyone have a klze distributor cap forsale (just the cap/rotor)<p>If you have experienced any of this stuff just let me know what your thoughts are.<p>Thanks

i would just replace those 3 things u listed bc they are all gonna go soon anyway.
get a walbro fuel pump, i went with a 190 for a pgt
high flow universal cat such as catco
and for the disty cap if ur running external coil theres a few guys here or on probetalk that should be able to get one

I wondered if anyone else was having this problem. You might check your fuel filter too. I wish I had a gauge as well.... :)

thats the first thing I replaced, and it didnt make any diff as far as I can tell, the old one had 270,000km on it and it still looks new on the outside! So that wasnt the problem.<p>I take it Lazzie, you are having the same sort of trouble?<p>If your looking to give away free ze ecu's Ill take one.

Are you using KLZE injectors?<p>i'm a moron and didn't swap mine when i did my swap, I just slapped on the 1.8 manifold with the 180cc injectors and i felt a bog/stumble at around 1-1.5k rpm's then it pulls fine.<p>Last night I swapped the KLZE injector rails on my engine and HOLY ****, it revs much better now, no bogging and the car feels much quicker, spins tires through 3rd gear.

i am using a ported north american 2.5 manifold and injectors. 1.8ecu and 2.5vaf.<p>Im pretty sure its not the injector size becouse it has run great with no stumble for almost 2 yrs now. But what are the injector sizes for the 1.8, na 2.5 and for the ze?<p>I took the car to my friends house(a mechanic) and the car would only run when I barely pushed the gas most of the time trying to speed up it just bogged and slowed down???
I had to get off the highway for fear of being flattened. Let him drive it and of course it didnt do it. Drove home later and parked it for a second, tried to restart car 10 minutes later and battery was dead. Jump started and put in garage.<p>My cd player was making funny noises a while ago, looked at wiring and one wire had come undone and was grounding out. Now it seems to run great for the time being (45 minutes worth)????????<p>So is it possible that a wire from the stereo and has caused all this trouble, or is that just wishful thinking.<p>im oh so full of questions. Whatever the prob is I hope I find/fix it for good. But thanks for all the replys so far.<p>Im still going to get a fuel pressure gauge and check that at some point in the future though. I am not getting any error codes either.<p>[ August 10, 2003: Message edited by: timpronk ]</p>
