hi guys from the start

my car was smoking and i automatically thought it was oil,
it used some oil and has now stop using oil and is staying at full
also i have changed the turbo so i know its not that
changed the maf sensor and compression is at 185

after driving it for a couple of days i have noticed that the fuel consumption is terrible 10mpg at best

also its giving off very loud pops and bangs on every gear change and emitting quite a bit of smoke

what else can i check ? getting deperate now

thanks
alex

 

checked the MAF? have you also checked your DV? is it an aftermarket one? best bet might be to get it fault read

 

Lambda sensor would be my first check..

 

its had the same dv on it since i baught it mate ?
how do you check the lamda sensor?
and i swaped the maf over with my mates car and it ran exactly the same and his runs perfect?

 

also ive swaped the ecu over with another and runs exactly the same on that

 

Does it idle ok or is it erratic?

 

its a little bit rocky like not as smooth ?

 

What car model and model year is it they would help?

cheers

bob

 

wrx sti 1996 Jap Import sorry mate ?

im seriously stuck ?

 

Bump?

 

Hard to diagnose without getting the car in to a garage. It could be a number of things as mentioned above. It's not a good idea to drive it while it's wildy overfuelling as you may cause bore wash and wreck the engine.

 

was the maf you changed new ?

 

Simple things first.. .plugs n filters?

 

its had new plugs and no the maf wasnt new but it was off my mates wrx green label and his runs fine ?

 

im thinking a sensor somewhere?

 

What d/v is it running?

 

baileys mate

 

That could WELL be your problem, they are known to cause problems on Imprezas.

Go back to a standard recirc type and see what effect you get.
