Something tells me ALl solara owners are experiencing some trouble lately.. From S/C dieing to engine failures to CEL to malfunction... Only people Im not seeing issue are fully stock owners...

its because we abuse our engines

RIGHT ON BROTHA


I notice my car getting slower now days... Even the fully rebuilt guys I been noticing they are weaker too.. Or stuff just going wrong...

[ChargedSolara]

yeah we sure do..or maybe thats just some of us..lord knows i stomped on my car many a times...

i will be getting a leakdown test this coming week, i'll let yall know what comes of it..

i was busy this weekend replacing the radiator on my miata, which was a disaster.

I don't have issues anymore since I've been running stock boost... and im running damn strong 2

[DatSRBoi]

Is this consider abusing your car? I do this allot

1- I rev allot but non ever made pass 3,200RPM...
2-I do allot of poping my gas pedal realllly fast to make that pop sound.
3- I either shift too early or way later then 3rpm
4-I speed allot
5-I drive in the heat
6-When I race I take it to redline and I do it quit often...
7-After pushing the car and I come to a park I turn my car off right away rather idle it for awhile to cool off..
8-Ive over redline my car a few times since it revs so fast I dont pay attendtion...

check and make sure that you have a suction coming from the front valve cover hose.. it should be a suction.. if its not then you have damaged internals and blowby

You're talking about the crank vent case hose right? I always thought it's suppose to shoot out hot air from the engine and some oil vapor goes with that is why people have oil catch cans w/ a breather.

the front hose should have a suction, and the rear valve cover w\ the PCV valve should push hot air out... this is what I remember when I had a lot of blow by.. I had a lot of oil in my intake from the front valve cover hose... I had a lot of blow by from repitive beating... and the front valve cover shot hot air out that was smokey and sometimes had some oil w\ fuel mix crap coming out... Im about 99% sure its bad if its pushing air out... On my car right now, after I had the engine rebuilt, I have only run 4psi and I still have suction coming off that front hose... If you are worried just get a leak down test done (compressio)

I don't want to cause anyone to get scared... its not a bid deal.. if you are worried get it checked out.. from what I remember having blow by is not a good thing w\ our motors if you have stock internals

I was looking at my Toyota Repair Manual and the name of that hose for the intake is called the PCV (Positive Crank Ventilation) Hose. . . So from what I understand that means air should be pushing out.

oh cool...hopefully we are good then..but i'll get a leakdown test anyways..and yeah datrsboi i think that means u drive it hard, in my opinion. but hey i used to flog my car like a racehorse, and i was auto too..none of that crazy stuff but i would drive with a real heavy foot.

Oh yes I forgot to add heavy foot to the list.. Im going to try slowing down now... I want to keep my solara forever.

I been driving slow because gas is so expensive

the PVC line has pressure coming out.. but thats the hose coming off the rear valve cover.. the front valve cover should be a suction.. believe me.. my car has suction coming off of it right now when before I had the motor replaced it would push lots of air out...
