    Sputtering and Stalling

    the fuel pump might not be pushing out enough pressure to keep your car running. happened to my girlfriends car. no codes, getting good spark, and fuel was coming out of the rail and all when i tested that. but i had to go rent a fuel pressure tester and that solved the problem.

    question about ground control springs!

    measure the springs, if thats what your changing out. if they are shorter than the other ones just raise your shocks a bit that is if you have coil overs and they're adjustable. shouldnt make a differenece but thats IMO, ive never done it before so i dont know. worth a shot i guess. im sure...

    Timing Chain on b16a2 2000 EM1

    i snapped a timing chain in my vr6T jetta. and personally i like belts more now. they are easier to work with and cheaper to replace since you have to replace the guides and the tensioners are usually more expensive. plus when a timing chain snaps it does a lot more damage than a broken belt...

    Timing Chain on b16a2 2000 EM1

    haha they wont know its got a chain instead of a belt since it would need to be covered and somehow have a sealed housing to keep all the gear lube from spraying everywhere since timing chains need to be lubricated

    Timing Chain on b16a2 2000 EM1

    why would you want a timing chain? timing chains aren't always better than belts. you have to worry about replacing guides and all that. belts are much easier to replace and last longer. there are no lubricants that are used with a belt compared to a chain, the guides wear out after time and you...
