fmic question

RETed · 05-07-2014, 11:23 AM

I'd still double-check for intake vacuum leaks...
Know how to do that with starting fluid?

Also, how bad of an angle is your stock airflow meter?
From the pics, it looks to be pretty steep...
I would try and keep it at the most 20-degrees off horizontal.

I corrected the meters angle, no vacuum leaks now. I know this sounds stupid, but would the engine temp sensor have some thing to do with this issue? When I first start it, the idle is smooth and revs normal. With the fmic it warms up faster and acts up after that. I'm currently using the stock fan. I was thinking of using an efan and adding a lip at the bottom of the radiator, like on the camaros and corvettes. I'm also wondering if I need a vented hood to help cooling. This is my first t2, so please bare with me.
