car problems

dsm_tuner260 · 05-24-2007, 10:41 AM

has anyone tried to rear mount a battery in a dsm. i tried it woul not let me do it i had everything hooked up and would get nothing. out the battery back in its orignal spot and it worked. went to go turn the car over and all i got was it trying to turn over. i have spark i have tested the coils and it has new wires and plugs, i checked the plugs anyway and they are still good. made sure the sensors were still pluged in. i can smell fuel.
whatits doing when i turn it over is its like its about to run but it keeps turning over.

I have no idea. My friend's brother did that and didn't have any issues. Might try PM'ing him on sacramento-dsm.com. His name is myAWDgst. Let him know that Rich told you to ask how Slobo hooked up his battery in the trunk.

ok i got it started but it will not stay running now

check your alternator. make sure it's still good. it could be running directly off of the battery and killing it.

its not that its a rough idle like a boost leak but i cant find one so i don't know what else to check and i cant check compression because i cant get it warm enough

did you do a boost leak test? did you check your vacuum lines?
check your base idle also.

dsm_tuner260 · 05-25-2007, 10:49 PM

done all that

EuroEclipse · 05-26-2007, 03:22 PM

is it getting the proper amount of fuel? what mods do you have done? is it tuned?

mine is in my trunk, no problems. just double check everything.

dsm_tuner260 · 05-26-2007, 08:16 PM

its running a little rich. and my boost gauge reads 0 to -3

EuroEclipse · 05-26-2007, 11:15 PM

0 to -3? You have a vacuum leak. That should be reading around -14 to -16in/hg. Sometimes around -20in/hg

i know i cant find the leak.

If you can get it to idle spray brake or throttle body cleaner around anywhere there might be an airleak i.e. t-body, vaccum hoses, ic pipes... you should be able to here the idle pick up when you find the leak. (Don't spray anywhere before the mass air sensor)
