1991 eagle talon big project

[gsxvince]

so i picked up a nonturbo fwd talon shell pretty much perfect body.
swaped a turbo engine, the harness, ecu, exhaust, and gauge cluster into it from a running crap shell and now it isnt running right at all
idk what happened in the process.
i idles very low about 500-700rpms and sounds like its fireing wrong.
it has a cop setup that was working before the swap.

anyone some ideas before i call map??

Check all you wires and connection. Could be a bad ground. You getting enough fuel? Did you change ecus? Only way map can help you is if you bring it to them and have them work on it. Iam sure they would be glad to sell you some stuff. If the car ran fine before the swap and now it doesnt. Means you missed something or you fucked something up.

[gsxvince]

yeah i checked all the wires and its the same ecu
how do i check to see if i have enough fuel??
i would be bringing it to them if i cant figure it out.

[93gtpeater]

Fuel pressure gauge. You could have bad gas. do you have a Check engine light? Do you know if you are getting spark on each spark plug? You getting correct voltage to the injectors?

[gsxvince]

ill check spark
actually it most likly is bad gas in the tank
ill have to get a fuel gauge

[Goat Blower]

It takes a while for gas to go bad, I'm driving around on last year's gas with no problems. E85 is a different story.

[gsxvince]

oh and oil pump is leaking from the top bolt area now too...

So you did a complete turbo swap into a non-turbo car, you tell us it's not running well without much detail, and want us to diagnose the cause over the internet?

I say swap it all back to the turbo shell and see if it runs better

[gsxvince]

that wouldnt make a difference, i havent gotten into it too much wanted a place to start

[dsmghost]

Make sure you have strong spark at each cylinder. Check fuel pressure at the rail. Make sure all the harness connectors are connected securely.

Did you swap fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator? Also, ditch the cop for stock ignition. Simplify things. Did you do the wiring for the fuel pressure solenoid and knock sensor? I found a page the other day with a complete list of what's needed, it will take forever to search for it on my phone though.

[gsxvince]

i didnt do fuel pump or regulator wouldnt the stock ones be the same
and i have a turbo wire harness in

[gsxvince]

its most likly a fuel issue im thinking

[goodhart]

Regulators are different for sure. Nt ones are higher pressure. Could be your problem.

[gsxvince]

sweet ill swith them right away and check it.

[gsxvince]

well the regulator is switched and it helped some but still running bad.
map will be looking at it on 4/19/12

[goodhart]

Did you do the fuel pump yet? n/a ones are smaller/flow less

[gsxvince]

when i did thr swap map never said i needed to switch that but if soo ill get it done

[goodhart]

Everything I have read says they are different. Like I said, just what I have read though.

Out of curiosity what year turbo ecu did you install, and was it the matching harness that you installed?
