Racegod,
I use super
thanks

Racegod · Postby **Racegod** » August 4th, 2008, 12:45 pm

you shouldn't be using super man... that will clog your injectors...

no problems

sounds like a major vacuum leak if its affecting the brakes as well.

I used Super ONLY in my last QG powered car for well over 30000 km with no complaints.

What's your point? There is no difference in purity / "sediment" with either gas. The problem is...the condition of the tanks at the place where you buy it

Ever ran a diag. on your cam/crankshaft sensors?

^ Airflow Sensor maybe ??? ...

Do a diagnostic ....

QG · Postby QG » August 6th, 2008, 3:22 pm

I have been using Super Unleaded on my QG for the past 5years now and no problems. (I removed the catalyst

).
That problem sounds like a sensor problem, and u not being able to pass 70km/h...that could be your injectors.

But still run a diagnosis!

QG · Postby QG » August 6th, 2008, 3:29 pm

One more thing...check your spark plugs as well!

Do u have ABS on your almera and/or are you familiar with its usage?

what the fack wrong with allyuh fellas dread?? I know allyuh tryin to help but, oh geez, if yuh don't know, stop taking guesses with people's real problems. I mean, fellas start to talk bout fuel quality and all; ah nex man suggest plugs!! what de fack dat have to do with brakes?

If the brakes hard, then there's a manifold leak from AFTER the throttle-body. this also means that the engine is getting air that isn't accounted for by the MAF, therefore, the ECU cannot provide the correct the fuel trim, resulting in poor performance across the rev range, under load or not. For all you know, the Booster Vacuum hose is cracked.

And your point is....what exactly bhagan? How does that contribute to the man's post? Using super cannot cause the problems the guy's having.

Or are we going to have this whole super vs. premium talk again.

Honestly, I think you should come take over my job.....cuz you clearly have more expertise than me, and can revolutionize gasoline production and blending at petrotrin. :wink:

Racegod · Postby **Racegod** » August 9th, 2008, 10:38 am

^^^ in Response.. the only reason i suggested it, was cuz i kno it to be best practice to use prem infront of super...

No harm No Foul... Lets keep the insults for kiddy forums nuh guys... everyone just trying to help... obviously nobody is trying to screw the man car over... so lets put ego's aside and just get to the point please... :roll:

you could be mr who, premium is the fuel to use.
I see the problem that super can cause, not only in you injectors, also killing people a$$ with lead.

check ur sensors and have a scan diagnostic done

nioboi · Postby **nioboi** » August 11th, 2008, 2:12 pm

Thanks for your suggestions people.
So far I have realized that the reason why the car seems to be loosing power is because the brakes binding when it gets hot.
I changed the brake fluid and the car seems to run a lot better but the car still has a problem when idelying.
The reason why I'm coming to you guys first is because I dont have a lot of money to run around and be guessing as to the problem.
