T2 Reving problems

[bigdan120]

Hello Guys! I have purchased a 2009 T2 from a member here and it has a issue with it...It will not rev fast at all and it acts like its out of time. I checked timing and it looked good. I tried putting my scan tool on it but it says failed.... I'm pretty sure its a sensor...... The plugs are black coated. If you mess with the fuel pressure it helps alittle but I know thats not the problem........Thanks in advance guys...Oh yeah what engine is this modeled after for parts like the sensors?

I would check the oxygen sensor in the exhaust. You could try switching the two sensors but that requires swapping the plugs which wouldn't be too hard. Also look at the map sensor in the intake plentum. If you look on google you can find out how to test these. Your obviously getting too much fuel or not enough intake air. Check your air filter for being clean. Also replace it if it is the stock filter with a K&N filter mounted up high out of the dust area. Most snorkle them up to the roof area. Probably check the Throttle position sensor too. These are the three sensors that the computer is going to look at for determining the fuel required. Your fuel pressure should be around 55 psi. Watch your fuel pressure as you try to rev up and look for any weird stuff going on.

Ok I will check these sensors. Just lost. The filter obviously got mud and water sucked through it so I wonder if it ruined the mass sensor. Do you know what sensors or the motor is copied from? O heard Suzuki and Ford escort......?

[Guest Lenny]

The Ford Escort is close. It was copied form a european Ford engine that was popular for rally racing there. However it uses a standart engine computer by Bosch or Seimens, can't remember which. I would assume that it looks ofr signals that are standard fior mmost vehicles. This makes me think that most sensors could be adapted into the system and work fine but no guarntees.

I got it running after a few hours of researching with me and a couple of friends... It slipped about 4 teeth on the Timing belt. NIce...Sounds GREAT now.......

Were are the marks on the timing belt to line up with the gears

[bigdan120]

No no the cam stopped and the crank kept turning....no marks on belt at least not this motor. I have seen them on belts though...

Thanks bigdan I didn,t think so but I could have missed something.I see you made it here I told you there were more people here that own t2 than on the joyner forum

[bigdan120]

oh yeah lots more.... I guess us Joyner owners are toopers to stick with and still buy Joyners even though parts and stuff is hard to come by...LOL First look at the one I seen made me want one I think there bad ass! Thanks Plumber!

There are not any marks on the timing belt. There is a mark on the lower pully that lines up with a mark or small bump on the block. This needs to line up when the mark on the top pulley is lined up with it's mark on the head or head cover. Go to JMCs site and download the manual, it shows the marks.
