95 talon probley
 

My gf has a 95 tsi awd auto it has 14b, knock off bov otherwise stock.It was running fine, but the other day she came home and heard a bang. The car wouldnt go over 15 mph. I went out to start it but wouldnt idle.. Heard exhaust leak coming from the front of engine. I then pulled off piping and checked the turbo but no play. The exhaust bolts off the o2 housing were lose so i checked the gasket and it was good so i tightend them back up. Started the car it ran for 2 sec then it died, started again and reved up but it started to miss but then it would idle... Revved up to 3500 held for a sec and it missed bad. Any help would surely be appreciated!!!!!

Did the timing belt skip? Check the timing. There are a ton of other possibilities. I would do a compression check also. Those 2 things would eliminate quite a bit.

Ok that sounds like a start... Ill try that and post again in a bit. If there are anymore things just let me know.. I appreciate it

Re: 95 talon probley
 

Yup, do what JET said, then check the spark plugs and plugwires and make sure all is well there. Try resetting the ECU while you're at it.

Re: 95 talon probley
 

How do you reset the ecu??

Re: 95 talon probley
 

Unplug the negative wire on the battery for about 2 minutes or so and reconnect it back.

I would say intercooler piping blew off somewhere. Do a boost-leak test.

Re: 95 talon probley
 

Ya i kinda figured it might be a boost leak aslo...

Re: 95 talon probley
 

Ran a compression test and it ran 165 across the board, and did a vacum test and the egr had a slight vacum leak... still having problems and any help would be great..

I want to do a fuel pressure check but not sure how too... I dont have the tools to do so so if anyone would be willing to help me out on it that would be greatly apperciated!!!! I dont wanna buy the pressure tester so please lend me a hand

Re: 95 talon probley
 

Check to make sure all the injector clips are on nice and tight.

Re: 95 talon probley
 

Ok ill check that out and update but still if anyone would lend a tool to do the fuel pressure check that would be cool too
