Re: Bad compression

I bought the compression tester today at harbor freight, all the plugs were open at the same time, what do you mean by the throttle being open? I'm not sure the condition of the battery but its starting good and the mpg is pretty decent, around 24 in town

Bad compression

I did a compression test today and got 120-120-120-120-90, is there a simple fix to this or is it time to sell? I did a wet test in cylinders 1 and 5 and got 150 & 120, so it was bad even wet. I'm not going to lie, I'm pretty upset. But at least I didn't start putting anything into it and now I know ...

Re: I think I broke my 850 r

I fixed it, it was a huge vacuum leak and increadibly obvious. It was the big hose that plugs right into the manifold, I'm gonna do a compression test tomorrow and order a new PVC system and waste gate actuator if its all good, thanks for the help guys.

Re: 1997 850 ABS codes

When the mechanic ran mine it showed him what the abs light was on for. When I ran it with my cheap obd-2 reader it didn't show them.

Re: I think I broke my 850 r

I turned it twice and it was opening up at 2 psi, no cel popped but I'll run the obd reader and see if any codes pop, my buddy said that it was probably a vacuum leak also, I really hope so. It started raining here and I have my daughter this weekend so I'm going to have to wait until Monday to ...

I think I broke my 850 r

I just adjusted the waste gate actuator then took my car out, I let it get warmed up then I started to get on it, it didn't seem like the adjustments made a difference, then I went WOT and it got up to about 60, then the engine made a different noise and it started jerking, so I pulled over and let ...

Questions regarding waste gate actuator

So I Jerry rigged a tool to find out what psi my waste gate actuator starts to move at and when I got down to look at it the bar is all bent up. It took about 8 psi to get it to go so I adjusted it to 2, I have an 850 r and from what I've found it's supposed to be about 1.8, my questions are: is it ...

Re: New proud owner of an 850r

I fixed those lines today, changed the oil and reset the check engine light code. I drove the car for about two hours around town after that and I was really getting on it too. I got her to a 100mph at one point, the check engine light never came back on and it ran like it wanted to go that fast, I ...

Re: New proud owner of an 850r

This is probably a really dumb question, but how do I go about getting replacement vacuum lines and fuel lines. I don't even know if fuel lines is what their called.
