Having some problems! Help please, my friends.
So I have two problems, one is a cold start, and the second is it overheats going up hills on hot days, (I may know the issue but need help with the solution)
So to elaborate, the cold start, even if it's 30 degrees Celsius outside, it will not start without giving it gas. And then once it does start, I need to rev it up a bunch to get it to heat up a little bit, but when I rev it, it is extremely laggy and it dies out unless I get it right, and just repeat until it's a tiny bit warm and then it'll idle fine at 800 or so, the idle fluctuates a bit but it's manageable. But the alternator belt squeals like a mad man, sometimes worse than others. I put a new one on and it's as tight as it should be. It also stops the moment it heats up.
New plugs, new, slightly large battery with slightly better cranking amps, and it didn't really help the problem, just helps it get the situation over faster.
Like if I had a pre heat system of some sort for the cylinders it would be solid, like a diesel. But that is like just something I thought as like a comparison not a actual idea for my car lol.
And the overheating situation could simply be because the idiot I bought it from removed a fan off the radiator. But I also think it may have something to do with a slightly rich tune maybe? I wish I had a pyrometer in my exhaust to see that temp so I can examine that as well, I may install one soon,
But I'm just kinda curious how I could slip a slim fan in there or something if anyone has done similar? Or if anyone knows about the tune?
This is a 95 Talon TSi,
I think it's a greddy bov, I think it's a eBay 16g turbo set at the 8-9 lbs from when he bought it, I have a MAF Translator, tuned to 650cc injectors, the ad when I bought it said 750cc but it also didn't say it had a blown head gasket either so I don't trust the asshole who sold me it anymore, and I think they're probably 650.
But yeah thought that may have some sort of an influence on the heat problem.
Let me know some ideas my friends! Thank you very much!
