Newbige is my name

Post by Lanthias »

Hey guys

I am new here so be nice please, and I apologize in advance if I ask some idiotic questions. I bought my Fto about a month ago, but even though I have had some problems with it I am loving every minute of driving it. I live in Sydney and I have a ton of tuning questions. That can wait though and I am just very glad to meet all of you :)

Haha thanks for the welcome guys :)

Most of the issues have been fixed (hopefully) but the current issue is that when the car is in Idle it seems to be hunting, and I really have to rev it to keep it from stalling. Then when I change gears it is extremely clunky.

Anyway off the topic, and if you could direct me to the righr thread/Post I would appreciate it my Fto has had no tuning or altetations done to it since I bought it (Besides replacing the starter motor) and I was wondering what you guys first did to increase the potential of your car? For reference I am looking to purchase a VS bodykit when I can afford it.

Anyway long rambling asside, I will try and post some pictures up when I can figure out how :)

Idling problem - from the info you provided, it sounds like the stepper motor.

With the clunking, that MIGHT be the engine/gearbox mounts... most likely the ones underneath. If it is something worse, it could be within the gearbox itself 8O

Welcome to the club. With respect to the gearbox, drop the oil and put in some fresh oil for starters and see if that helps (if you havent done that already)
