Tomas. Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Today I changed out the exhaust valve springs and did the exhaust valve solenoid delete. I pulled my spark plugs and mag side is running rich and the PTO side is perfect. I put new plugs in as well. When I fired it up, it is running like shit. I tried swapping the spark plug wires and no change. I pulled the new plugs out and the mag side plug has oil on it and there was/is smoke coming from the plug hole. Also at the low idle rpm, the voltage gauge on the dash is showing in the middle. It doesn't have a battery. Anyone have an idea what is going on?

Guest Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 So this problem just started with the exh spring change solenoid delete? Swap back ??? Low idle=low voltage. Has your fuel sock been cleaned recently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low idle=low voltage. Has your fuel sock been cleaned recently? The solenoid holds the valves closed for longer. Theoretically that should have not changed anything at idle.

Maybe 1000 kms on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomas. Posted January 28, 2022 Author Share Posted January 28, 2022 I just took out the exhaust valve block and it is still running like shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put the old springs back in and still idles like shit. 1300-1500 rpms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Next step,check tps readings at idle and slowly go to wfo,,,should be smooth linear reading on multimeter. HCS should have the procedure pinned still,,,I pinned it in the pro-ride forum I think. Sled doesn't need to be running just need a 12v battery to power up ECU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomas. Posted January 29, 2022 Author Share Posted January 29, 2022 New caps and plugs and it fires up better and seems to run better but still low rpm idle (1400). Throttle is responsive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throttle is responsive You can cheat and turn up the idle but it messes with base line tps setting. Right hand side of throttle body is an allen screw with lock nut,loosen nut,turn screw in will increase idle. Now tps will be off throughout the sweep of throttle so I wouldn't drive it that way. I can get you base and wfo tps settings tomorrow,,books in the garage. Sounds like you're getting somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been chasing problems for 3 years lmao. I love the IQ chassis but the M8 I used to own just plain worked lol. Even the wife's 07 crossfire 6 always works. If I didn't mind the payments for a severely deprecating asset, there would be an assault switchback in my truck right now lmao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
