    Default My EF bogs...

    Alright my car is being real stupid now, now I got it idling smooooooth. No rocking back and forth or anything. We put a z6 manifold and throttle body on it. But now, when I step on the gas it just sounds like it bogs out and it even cut off one time when I stepped on the gas. It just died on me...

    Also it makes stupid popping noises again from the intake manifold...

    I really can't figure what the hell is wrong with it. Anybody with some info let me know please?!

    Do you mean all the way in the tranny? I think they are...shanked the **** out of them when I put them in. I know one side is..the driver side one is...and the passenger side looks like its in, but wouldn't it leak oil if they weren't in all the way?

    does the car bog when you rev it suddenly?
    look for vacuum leaks.
    does the car pull at all when you let out the clutch? a simple test to see if your axles are all the way in the differential is to jack the front end up so both wheels are off the ground, put the tranny in gear and spin one wheel, the other one should move in the opposite direction.. unless you have a limited slip differential.

    Oh yeah, I did that...and that happened when I was trying to put the lug nuts back on. And ummm NO, the car doesn't pull at all when I let off the clutch. Like I'll be at redline...and I barely picked up ten miles an hour....

    check your adjustment cable

    hit up the parking brake to hold the car still, then act like you're driving it... put the car in gear and let the clutch out...

    does it kill the engine?

    does the engine just bog down, but keep running?

    If it's the second option, then you need to replace your clutch.

    get on level ground, throw the car in 5th gear and try to take off. if you stall your clutch is good, if it just revs up then its pretty much gone

    sound like a clutch or the ajustment. Also with your cutting off problem are you sure you got the ground strap tight when you fixed the thermostat?

    Yeah the ground is on...I have no problem with that anymore. The car stays on and idles smoothly. But now I just can't get it to go...I think I'm gonna try and put my other clutch on....Sometime later when I get bored during the week.
