Well, after 8 months of not driving over 4k rpm, and it constantly fuel cutting im, to say the least, agravated! I thought the shop I had the swap done at was compitent enough to service problems, but i have had this problem since i drove it out the shop in April. The car cant go over 80 on the freeway, and it cant be left in gear over 2k rpm, so that means to drive at 80 in 5th I have to accelerate for like 5 seconds, it cuts, i put the clutch in and it go's to idle and I can then accelerate once again.
At this time my mechanic seems to be just spitting out parts for me to replace that might fix the problem, and frankly I want to add parts to the car with the money I'm spending, not just pump into stuff I don't need. At this time he wants to try the knock sensor, which I'm not tottaly sure about... I went over to my local dealer and they said they would be able to run a diagnostic for like $250+ which would suck because that is money that just disapears. So people, what do I do!? Pump money into parts that may fix the car, or just drop the money to then find out the exact problem and then drop the money to fix that?

Dont be scared of doing the swap, just either do it yourself (and make sure you can) or take it to a experienced place that knows what they are doing (el prototypes) and have one shop do all the work, not like me where my mechanic did the mechanical and mike did the wiring, cause when it comes to blame someone they can always say it was someone else.
Also, everyone has expressed this... buy only a clip, or an engine package from a very reputable place! Like if you were doing a 240sx sr20det swap, either a clip from say jarco, or an engine pack from heavythrottle.com. I ordered my engine (i was in a bit of a rush, and lots of people were out of stock) from some place in canada, and many parts were missing. There are way more succesful 3s swaps then problematic ones! |
