Turbo BS Thread

Only 20k behind.

 

Gotcha. MAF then.

Maybe fuel filter......

 

Actually now that I remember, it started running stupid the day after I washed the engine at the car wash. Maybe I caused some corrosion in the MAF somewhere and now it's bad.

 

Spot free rinse under the hood? @GioGuitarDude

 

lol speaking of...what are you guys using to clean the engine bay... mine FES disgusting from wheeling

 

Create a vacuum leak somewhere?

 

I just power wash mine at home from time to time. Wrap a plastic bag around the air filter.

 

@GioGuitarDude can you give any more information about the rich condition at 0 throttle? Seems like a good place to start.

 

I go to the coin wash place and use their degreaser, then high pressure rinse, then a spot free rinse which is deionized water that doesn't conduct electricity like ordinary water does. That will help with ensuring you dont get any electrical shorts from the water.

Also, engine should be running when doing this to observe any changes in idle to tell you if you are experiencing a short because of the water.

 

So the PO told me the fuel filter was changed among other things and everything was serviced through Toyota. Interesting. 194k miles possibly on an unknown fuel filter change. Wondering if I can find out if the one I pulled off was from the factory. I actually noticed a big improvement! My idle is better, my afr's, cruising is better and it seems as bit pepper. I have a feeling that filter was problematic. Unbelievable........

Is that video of the filter you took off??

Great idea to replace it!! lol

 

Like like like like like!

 

Yea that was the filter on the truck when I bought it. I've had it for only like 3 years. I can't believe what was in there. It absolutely must have been restricting my fuel.

 

That is exactly the same as what my friend's filter looked like. After never being serviced.

His filter still had the old Toyota writing on it. It was obvious from that, that it hadn't been changed. He, even N/A and stock, noticed an instant improvement in engine response. His MPG also slightly improved.

He is using a Mahle fuel filter as the replacement. Yours should feel even a little better in boost!

 

My recommendation is no more than 30k for the filter change. You can be your own judge though.

 

OMG my afrs have been all over man. And my gas was literally disappearing out of the tank. I'd drive just a little and it'd be 1/4 tank gone. I had no idea. I assumed it was good. SO Ooooohh glad to have found this. Not sure who brought it up but thank you! I thought my tune was going bad because I put a new turbo on and thought it messed the tune up. Figured the fuel mpg was going to crasp because of the tune.

Thanks will do.

 

Welcome

 

Omg dude I didn't realize how bad it was! My truck is way different feeling now. Way smoother! Thank you

 

I just added an inline fuel filter on my truck. Hopefully I can keep my injectors clean

 

Did you install a fuel pump kit from URD or just put in a filter?
