Car Drive Different After Walnut Blasted :(

Bimmerprid3 · 07-13-2014, 08:59 PM

I wish you guyz can help me out. Car running fine since after a walnut blasted my car drive very poorly. Car started normally & idle were steady. When I pulled @ 2000 to 3000 rpm. Car feel sturdier. When drive on freeway @ speed of
70 to 80. Car feel sturdier again & again. Idle were fine though. There is no check engine or code from it. This all happened from a walnut blasted I got it done from some member on the forum. Thanks

u sure he properly blasted it?

Bimmerprid3 · 07-13-2014, 09:14 PM

For what he told me, he done it before. The guy seem like he know what he was doing.

W/o a code its hard to tell. Might be a simple as a loose/missed hose.

Do you think might be a bad sensor from manifold or charged pipe???

ferocity02 · 07-13-2014, 09:57 PM

Who did it?

4doorbmwpower · 07-13-2014, 09:58 PM

besides blasting without valves at TDC what could you do durring blasting to cause issues with the car? didnt plug a sensor back in? is there something you can reverse on accident like the dreaded O2 sensors with DP swaps?

Bimmerprid3 · 07-13-2014, 10:07 PM

Some member on our forum did the walnut blasted. I did went back to him the second week. He checked out all his work & sadly the problems is still there. I want ask for help 1st before I probably have to take it to dealership

You should at least ask for your money back... Your car ran fine prior to the walnut blasting and immediately after the blasting it runs poorly, kind of narrows down the culprit in my opinion. I have had something else go wrong after repairing someones car (i.e replace water pump and then radiator hose breaks) but this was maintenance, not a repair.

Sounds like intake leak, maybe not bolted down all the way?

Tiago@VRSF · 07-13-2014, 11:27 PM

I like to ask for before/after pictures when having a less credible individual do this kind of work.

The most common problem when dealing with our cars is the vacuum nipple on the intake manifold gets incredibly brittle and tends to break off when inexperienced individuals try to yank it off. Once it gets ripped off that causes a major boost leak, causes you to run rich and the car runs like crap. It also prevents your DV's from functioning correctly.

You should find out what's wrong before asking for your money back, lol.

If it's the nipple here is my DIY:
