1G Trouble shoot assistance needed

Buy a replacement PCV valve from the Mitsu dealer. Do NOT take the vacuum line off the wastegate, doing so will make the boost uncontrollable!

[Alpha D]

Oh no that would be no good. Is there someway i can keep my waste gate open? Like simply turn down the boost as much as possible with the Manuel boost controller?

[asshanson]

Hook the boost source line directly to the wastegate if you want to run less boost.
Or disconnect the wastegate actuator arm from the the turbo, it'll just stay open that way. But you won't make any boost at all until probably 4 or 5k rpms.

PCV is located on the back of the valve cover. It routes to a nipple on the intake manifold.

Are you talking about the vent on the passenger side of the valve cover? As long as that's not clogged or plugged, I'd leave that alone.

[CarRacer]

Oh fuck. Yeah, what they said about the routing of the line directly to the wastegate. I forgot how I did it because it was so long ago.

Whoops.

Try attaching that--click Post Reply button then manage attachments. The way you did it we'll never see it :)

Didn't you already do a boost leak test? With pressure in the intake system, you'll know whether or not your PCV is leaking...when you did it, did you pop the oil cap off and see if a TON of air escaped?

Yank the ecu, pop the cover, take a pic, post it here. Not a cell phone pic, a nice clean digital camera pic, preferably with in macro mode.

Following, jrohner's comment about the transmission. How should i go about the tranny. Take of the end cover purchase a new gasket before hand? What should i look for?

There are no gaskets anywhere on the transmission. Get gray RTV.

It sounds like your clutch is not disengaging correctly. I'd go for new master & slave cylinder's, as they like to die (especially the slave); I broke a transmission when my slave went out and I ground a gear. It's worth $50 to know that's not your issue and won't be in the near future. Watch the 'proper clutch adjustment' video on jackstransmissions website.

You have a long ways to go and many other things to try before you even need to consider dropping the tranny and opening it up.
