Guys,
I've been having problems when I get into boost she'll start to swing up to 8psi or so, makes a loud pop, and loses all boost, dies back down to idle and keeps going. Well I was on the way to work today, I go to pass a car and lean into it slightly, boost raises up, POP, dies..coasting down the road..try to hit the gas (wasn't sure if car was running at this point or not) and would make a pop out the exhaust every time I'd touch the gas.
Coasted to a safe spot, suspected the cam sensor because I installed the RJC reluctor ring fix kit that never did seem to fir correctly, pulled the cap off the cam sensor (I had planned to pull the ring and see if the hole had become misaligned with the tab) and the cam sensor rotated pretty freely.
Does that mean the gear at the end of the sensor down in the engine has stripped or what could have happened? I got the car flatbedded to the house so now she sits..again. I swear I've had this thing for 5 years, spent $10k on drivetrain and it never has run correctly.
If anyone has any ideas to throw at me, I'd appreciate it..also I started this thread a little while back to help address the popping issue http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/ge...-fine-hits-about-10psi-huge-pop-dies-out.html , didn't get anywhere besides got a set of plug wires on the way hoping to help with the popping. Didn't even get to install them and this happened today.
Also, when I started it to warm up today for work, it had a surging idle like an alcohol fed injected big block..or like a broken vacuum hose somewhere..however this went away after a few minutes..I did notice also a tip in stumble all the way to work..
