Rough Idle and Electrical Problems.. HELP!

***TitaniumTT*** · 04-27-2010, 05:23 AM

puck clutches have little business on a street car. Especially an N/A. There's just no need for that kind of holding power. They chew up flywheels, they can be a bitch to drive, I just don't see the point.

Im using the car for AutoX, Drift, as well as dd. im used to race cars and the positive engagement of the clutch and highly prefer that feel, and i want the holding power so that as i upgrade stuff and get more power the clutch will hold.

So I checked the ground at the starter and yes it was off so I hooked it up but prior to this I had already added extra ground straps, It seems that hot idle has gotten better but when I pull up to a stoplight it still dies or tries to die. And I lose all power at 6k and after driving hard today the clutch seems fine it feels more like in losing spark because as soon as I let off throttle it backfires like alot of fuel in exhaust.. I checked all sensors and all check out except the tps resistance is high but it is corroded so I'm gonna clean it and recheck it...

Ok so I just went for a drive in the car right after warmup 6k problem is non exsitant after a short drive problem finally occured, also with the firing at redlight whenever I hit the brakes my idle drops terribly so maybe bad booster? Causing rough idle and dieing?

Other update with brake booster unhooked and both sides blocked off car stills trys to die when u hit the brakes.. Also I can run it on either rotor and it runs smooth no hiccups or anything but hook up both rotors and it has a bad miss I'm completly lost

I did a poor mans compression check turning it over with the plugs out and it sounded great, im doing a real compression check tomorrow, along with another vaccum check, and ignition system check..

The only upgrade that would warrant a 6 puck on an N/A would be low comp rotors and a big ass turbo. If you want a 6-puck for the feel, fine, but an N/A doesn't make the kind of torque that warrants it.

check the voltage at the coils

The clutch came with the car as I said and I love the feel I know that it is way overkill.

What should the voltage to the coil be?
