Turbo Problems
I recently turbocharged my FRS. It runs great on the highway as long as the car keeps moving and getting airflow. When I hit traffic, a redlight, or sit in my own driveway, and sit for several minutes, it freaks out and stalls. At first it will start stuttering, then it will not rev past 3k, then it will not take any throttle input, then it just dies and wont start for 45 minutes to 1.5 hours. The coolant temp gauge is reading fine. Could the turbo be causing too much under hood heat?? I mean the downpipe and turbo almost touch the front of the engine and radiator. I'm out of town for work and won't be home for a couple months to get back into digging for problems. I did buy heat wrap to hopefully get rid of some of the under hood heat before I left town, but didn't have time to try it before leaving. Has anyone else ran into problems like this? The air flow sensor is inches from the downpipe... Everything under the hood is too hot to touch even when driving slowly with next to no boost.
The engine codes I'm reading are:
-Random cylinder misfire (The code only pops up after an extended time of trying to restart the car)
-Low rail fuel pressure (This code also only pops up after an extended time of trying to restart the car)
-Catalyst Malfunction (it doesn't have a cat, so this is expected)
So far I've checked:
-The fuel pump is seated correctly
-No boost leaks
-Injectors are plugged in
-No fuel leaks
-Nothing left unplugged
Thanks in advance for any help!
