I want to say, that being a sport car the owner before me , for sure he did aggressive driving , and when he saw the engine appears to be unstable what he said , i will fool somebody to buy it ... and yes that fool is me :-s .
Engine works , car runs, BUT NOT as i want
I recently , las week i put 30 litters 91 octane (Shell V-Power) , it was reading almost full the gas tank, ok everything ok , now i drove the car for 100 km and guess what, the reading is at the first line ! i filled it up when it was quite bellow 1 one line , lets say in the middle. 100% i have a very bad gas mileage i expect 10 litters for 100km not 3 times that ! damn! !! Now, beside the engine has a little tick at iddle , it doesen't look good maintained , the guy was an XXXXXXX, and i loose lot of oil... Now i start to see why the guy sold the car !!!! I drove the car this week a few times at 130 (for short distance) then 100 , 120 on the highway but everything over 100km.h it was short distance , i was afraid of the cops, then i rev one time the engine at 7000 rpm for 2 sec , then i drove the car a few times more aggressive like going 1st gear (6400 rpm) and second like 5500 rpm , so all of that and i saw my oil dissapeared, i changed it 1 month ago..
Ok , i read the engined was "designed" for righ RPM, if it is so why it's taking so much gas and oil to little quest..
I did some research on this great forum , found out that i can have probs with the sensors (coolant and o2), the termostat , oil filter, seal valve gaskets, and .. you tell me
- yesterday was my first day i was really worried , after two months of driving , and i am not a bad driver i take care of her , i dont rev high just a few times , but yesterday after i parked the car like for 1 hour (the engine was normal temp when i parked) , when i came back,i change in neutral, i always swith to neutral. then i put the key in the ignition , i turn into first, then after 1 sec i turn in the second, i pressed the clutch and then after 2 sec i turned into 3 BUT the engine wont start , not even moving , nothing was like everything DEAD only the radio working and the lights on my dash! i tryed it a couple of more times , not working , last time i tried , i PLAYED with the clutch i deppressed it a little bit and then it catch the engine a little bit i played more with it and finally the starter gave power to the engine...... i dont get it !! what was wrong there? -
As soon i get home i will post you a picture with the engine , so you can take a look ..
Thank you for reading all this story, its kinda long but in my mind is short
What i want hear is some other people with this engine to tell me whats wrong with these engines , and how can i start fixing it as i want to get it perfect for the summer. I learned a lot of stuff on this forum but is not enough:)
Thank you again!
ciao
