Tonight my car started acting up really bad, and this is not a very good thing, its my ONLY CAR!!!. i have LITTLE money,,.. and I CANT Figure out the problem!!!!!!!!
Ok heres what kinda car it is.
- 1984 Buick Grand National.
- Mostly Stock, Custom CAI w/cone filter (placed in the front Like a FMIC))
- 3" Exhaust w/3" Mufflers
- 2.5" Manifold to turbo pipe
- Boost Set @ 15psi
Car had a minor miss, a fairly decent exhaust leak, and a hessitation, and a transmission kinda messing up.
Heres what happend, I was on my way to my girlfriends, car was doing fine. got to her house. VERY Dusty/Sandy Road. No dust as of yet. Got to her house, car still doing fine.
Was going to go to the haunted maze place. Followed her friend.
VERY VERY dusty conditions. Drove to the school, car was doing fine, even under boost. (we were having fun).
Parked my car and let it idle for a while. shut it off.
Came back out after about 1 hour, started car, and drove off. immediatly the car started, hickuping, making a poping noise, (kinda like a back fire).
boost gauge going crazy, car will not hit boost, thought the car was out of gas, so i put 10 gallons in it. still the same ****, drove it back, to her house, decided to let it sit for a while. came back out 3 hrs later, car started fine, stuck my ear up to the exhaust, the same miss it had, no worse, no better. poped the hood, check around for fire light while the engine was running, didnt see any fire poping.
Drove home, 75mph doing fine, unless i tried to accellerate, still poped.
got to the stop light, car started ideling funny and making a noise, then i threw it in netural, and it retrned to normal,. threw it back in drive, same poping noise, threw it into 2nd, and it did fine, was able to boost to 15psi, and 1st gear was the same, 3rd and OD however it made the noise, so i drove it home in 2nd.
Got home, threw it in park, revved it up to 4.5k and it did fine, no miss/hessitation, sputters or hiccups. shut the car off when it was at 4.5k, listend to my turbo whine down, heard a noise, so i did it agian, and it sounded like my turbo was possably hitting the housing and grinding on it.
PS: Im running Castrol Syntec 5w50 and it started getting worse!!!
So thats were im at, and im trying to figure it out, please help guys, i need your knolege, and i have very little time.....
