Here are some pics: I feel bad I have to cover up these pretty coil covers, for those wondering yes the rear breather clears the crusher intake, new 270 alt, and the finished product minus the strut tower brace
Does the brake booster use vac from the engine?
Correct, went with a breather set up when I originally did the 2.9. It ran fine thenLooks great!
Probably dumb question....but the breather configuration and deletion of pcv is not "new", correct? That was the way you had it on Kevin's last tune when it ran fine previous to the headstud installation?
I'm sure this will end up being something simple and you'll catch it today with fresh eyes.
My guess is you have a vacuum leak under the blower somewhere and its keeping the bypass from opening. So the blower is probably loaded down and thats why it won't idle. Hopefully it's not an intake gasket.
If you have a friend that vapes you could do a smoke test.This is also my thought, which is why the blower is so loud at idle. The blower is screaming and it's only at 500 rpm.
I'm fearing the intake gasket considering I've checked every vac connection I can get to
No pulled the blower and checked everything again. All vac lines hooked up, boost bypass checks out, blower spins freely by hand, all electrical connections are hooked up, intake gaskets look good. I'm at a loss right now.
Even reloaded the tune to make sure it was there.
My next plan is to pull the blower again and separate it from the intake and look at the rotors to make sure they arent contacting the housing
I'm open to any ideas people have here
God I dont think so. I guess I could pull the covers and see. Anyway to check that without pulling the covers?
Well the blower will be coming off again to check the rotors so I guess I'll pull the covers again and see. I'd imagine you would be able to hear if something like that was off? Seems like it would make some noise
