Thread: gtp is sick =[

The bubbles are likely just the way it drained.

Oil is dripping, drooling and hitting all sorts of things that can aerate it inside the motor. Pull the plug and let it drain at least a foot. What happens if you pour water from a foot, it aerates.

You have a higher probability of being attacked by a rabid ostrich dressed like a leprechaun than you do of having a bad head gasket.

If you told us your year etc, then I could guess at a little more. But in the meantime my initial diagnosis of your cars issues is the issue is between the steering wheel and seat. Say you have a year where the COT fueling etc effects things. That code could be causing issues. You don't give us a whole lot of info to go on.

Fixed.

Can't see tube at current location.

WHY THE EFF ARE YOU HOLDING DOWN THE BYPASS VALVE?

I'm going to revert back to my original diagnosis.
Holding the bypass shut manually is forcing the engine to make boost at idle. Aka, asking for a motor swap soon.

Think this is more suitable.

How about instead of creating boost at idle.... did you look for any vac leaks after your swap? Maybe you trashed your bypass valve by manually engaging it?

And as for the bubbles... Bill is right. Water aerates like oil does. When you pour it at a distance it will create bubbles. Instance take a brand new quart of oil... shake it up... you'll have bubbles.

What info did you supply? I asked you to give more. And yeah, sorry if I joke around when people say "my car doesn't sound right, what's wrong". Dude, I'm not there, you want free help, you gotta help us to figure it out.

Your hissing noise is likely the ac btw. Totally normal, you'd probably have heard it in the past if you were listening and being hyper sensitive to the car you picked up on it.

Your car hiccuped once from the sound of what you wrote. Dunno how we can diagnose that. It's not abnormal to have a "technical glitch" once in a while.

As for going downhill and you feel a jerk and RPM jump... could be your torque converter isn't locking up properly.

I would go check out looking into buying a stethoscope. Few bucks, parts store usually carry them. And try isolating your grinding noise. Could be a pulley on the side of the engine, could be a bad bearing that they put in upon rebuilding, it's hard to tell unless you know for a fact its coming from the supercharger.

coming back from autozone, same scenario as last time going downhill press on the brake, except this time the rpms were shooting down about 500 rpms but with no jerking although you can feel it when it drops down and comes back up. What exactly am I listening for with the stethoscope? On the snout to the right of the hole for the s/c oil I can hear on and off scratching/grinding

*edit*

Not just around the s/c oil hole, basically the whole right side of the snout

One problem with a stethescope is since you've never listened to a good one, it's tough to know a bad one. Do you have any buddies in the are with the same type of car? That's a great way to narrow things down. Cause you can listen to both and compare.

Grinding hmm is this mostly at idle or do you hear it moving as well?
