So last night i finally got to take my z22se van out for a blast and she certainly isn't performing as she should.
Occasionally (although its a common occurance) she likes to stall out coming off overrun. Not all the time but still.
Also she smells quite lean (almost burns my nose, and it doesnt smell like burning cat which leads me to that assumption but im really bad at working lean from rich just by smelling it will pull the plugs later and see how they look) when you give it some and take it past 4krpm
She had new coil and plugs before I went out but she could barley keep pace with a 1.3 12v hyundai accent. Im stuck inside looking after my baby until later on so before I plug it in and try to find some codes (theres no eml however) I wanted to get opinions on what might be causing it.
The fuel pump is currently wired up to a relay so Im certain its getting enough fuel from the pump.
I want to whip the egr off and hopefully just blank it out in the future but am i able to clean it whilst its off?. My understanding is that these dont open up at WOT anyway. Could the egr be ing stuck open cause my stalling and poor performance? Turns out my engine already has blanking plate on the egr. The engine idles almost perfectly (very tiny hunting) just when you come off the throttle (Especially from overrun) the revs drop and tries to stall.
NOTE: It doesnt do this when the engine is cold and overall performs way better when its cold.
Any ideas, start shooting things my way
EDIT: just read the cts fault no eml sticky. Might have to unplug it and see how it runs. I ahve noticed that the fans like to be on an awful lot but she sits at the middle of the temp guage?
A final beg for assistance. Does anyone know if the cts on the z22 is the same part number as any other engines (preferably the diesel ones )
