Well my brother sold me his elcipse... apparently from the guy he bought the car from had the motor and trans rebuild. the issue its having is no matter what we do it doesnt rev past 3 grand. so far we have dont numerous things.
we have replaced plugs, wires, and coil packs with no change....
we also changed the maf and the transistor....
also disconnected the downpipe thinking it was clogged
basically all it does is we can floor it and it goes to 3 grand and acts like its in 2 step or something.... and u cant put much load on the motor cause it bogs and dies.... im able to move it with flooring and riding the clutch but as soon as the clutch is pressed in and the gas is released it dies and u can smell some gas.
the car came with a extra maf so I cleaned up with maf cleaner and put that in and there was no change so i cleaned the other one with no change so i tried running the car without the maf plugged in at all... well it idled the same but when i reved it the limiter issue i was having wasnt there as like it was with the maf pluged in....
so under normal assumption im gonna say the maf is bad but i will wait to see what someone sez on here. next i would like to know is should i try another maf or should i try upgrading it to something.
I just want some info from someone that knows more about these cars since this is new grounds for me.
