What do you think guys? First, I have an 89tc with 105k, upgraded to a 93'ECU, mitsubishi turbo, fully tweeked red box, 3.0 regulator, 24lb injectors, K&N, Larger turbo pipes, etc, etc... The problem: After running 33.9 lb inectors succesfully last week the car begn to stumble and chug. I figured it was probably too much fuel, so I went back to the 24lb versions. The car runs fine at idle and fires immediately, but it will sputter considerably when the boost comes up beyond half way through the yellow. It almost feels like fuel cutoff.(light dash in the face) The turbo is boosting, and the spool up sounds/feels normal, no new noises, just slams you at half boost. I drove it out on the highway yesterday, and all was well at speed until I noticed a considerable loss of power. I only had three cylinders, and there was a small cloud of stinky blue smoke coming from the exhaust! I limped it home across town(about 25 minute drive) on three cylinders, and when I hit the stop light before my street, the 4th cylinder came back!!! WTF? It will start up and run fine until I try to gas it, then sputters. I have checked the plug gap and wires. It does sound like a timing thing, but the blue smoke? Why only three cylinders? I have checked for vacuum leaks and can't find any. The cruise isn't working, but I thought that could be a loose pedal connection after the clutch master cylinder job I did last week. Did I do somthing bad, or am I overlooking something obvious? Please give me some ideas here fellow saabers, this is my darkest hour.
