Hey I just recently rebuild my engine, had my car tune and wats not only to realize that after 2 weeks when i was goin for a drive my "Check Engine" light was on, i paid no mind to it and when i accelarated the car gave me a sudden juck at around 4k, so i stop turn da car off and started it again the light went out and i punch it and she went all the way to red line so i figured hey prob just a bug in the engine, now the other day i went out got it and the car wont start only to find a fuse in the engine bay was blown, i changed the fuse, drove cross the road and the car shut down again when i check the new fuse was blown so i figure there was a electronical prob some where, so i check the engine inside out only to find the they wire from the oxygen sensor was touchin on my exhaust manifold completely melting the wires together so i took that out and re joined the wires, so now i got the car start its not idling well. its idling around 1200 and flucuating, so i went under the dash board and plug in the wire to test the computer to see which sensors had gorn bad, I got my reading from the computer which was 44 & 24 when i check my code book 44 reffered to the idle control solenoid valve sensor and 24 reffered to the wastegate control solenoid valve.

So wats my next step ????

 

Go to a shop (lic motorsports, mpj, vishnu) and they can give you a correct estimate on what you need to have replaced. Otherwise, be cautious, no boosting, drive granny style. If the CEL starts flashing, stop driving immediatly. Good Luck

I'm not going to even ask why you had to rebuild your motor.......

 

 

ok here's da scoop i recently rebuild my engine (forge pistons, rings, rods etc...) nad put da engine back in and the oxygen sensor line was touchin on the exhaust manifold so it melted the coating and fused the wires from da oxygen sensor together than my car just went down....

1. i blew a fuse in da engine, i replaceed it...it blew again.
2. i plugged up the computer wires under the dash board( up by the staring
column ) and watched the check engine light for the codes, and it showed that
the Idle air control solenoid valve & the waste gate control solenoid valve.
3. then i recently discovered that the car is only runnin on 2 cylinders. i checked
the plugs and they have spark, the coils are good.

So wat is my next step from here i really need to get my baby back on the road

 

You know what, I'm usually the last person to get on someone's case for doing stupid crap like this, and I just try to help. But this really takes the cake. And beleive it or not, I'm not so much lambasting you as I am trying to make a point for posterity.

Lets follow this line by line:

1) i was goin for a drive my "Check Engine" light

At this pont smart people baby their car and drive it as little and as lightly as possible until they get they code read and the problem fixed. And, even after it is fixed they easy it back into heavy loads just to be safe and sure

2) i stop turn da car off and started it again the light went out and i punch it and she went all the way to red line

You did the exact opposite. You tried to "drive through" a bad problem This is the dumbest thing you can do. See my response to 1)

I don't need to list the rest.

This is supder duper stupid, man.
