  1. I fixed mine myself. Ran new lines and distribution block under the rear seat. There is a post with instructions in the forum somewhere.
  2. I'm throwing this out there since it happened to me. Do you notice any slight decrease in power? Is the rattle more quiet than loud? For me my issue was a stuck waste gate. It was stuck slightly open bleeding off boost. The rattle was minor but I think it was the waste gate puck rattling.
  3. Bought mine in Aug 2004. Has 109K on the odometer. Still runs well. No rust. Issues I have had: rusted brake lines in rear, rear wheel bearings, CV boot melted, valve cover gasket, sway bar end links. All typical repair issues for this car. Mods: Access Port stage 2, up and down pipes, lowering springs, koni struts/ shocks, 17x8 wheels.
  4. Sorry I do not have much troubleshooting experience with these cars as mine has not had major issues since I bought it in 2004. <knock on wood>. I do have years of experience with my other cars though. Is there a fuel pump relay? Perhaps the contacts in the relay are bad?
  5. My guess would be fuel pump. Can you monitor the fuel pressure while it's running to see if it drops?
  6. My problem was that the wastegate was hung open. So the boost was bleeding off. Had to disconnect the downpipe to free it up. Another symptom was a rattle sound at idle. I thought it was a heat shield but it was actually the wastegate puck rattling.

  8. Well its my turn. Rear brake line blew. My gas tank isn't looking good either. Where can I get a new one? Is that bolt on the bottom the drain plug?
  9. Got the downpipe off. It turns out the wastegate flapper puck is loose and not making contact with the bypass hole. The actuator is jammed. Took off the actuator and pushed and pulled it a few times. Seems ok now. If it jams again will look for a replacement. Thankfully the shaft us tight with no play.
  10. Can I pull the turbo with the down pipe still attached?
  11. 2005 LGT stock VF40 turbo. 102K miles. So I have this rattling noise that I hear when engine is running. Pretty much the same either cold or hot engine. I thought it sounded like a heat shield rattle but I do not have any heat shield on my CNT down pipe. Seems to be coming from the turbo area. I tried to pull off the down pipe to check shaft play but those bolts aren't coming loose. Can I check the shaft play by pulling off the air intake tube? Is it relatively easy? Tried to see from the intercooler inlet but the compressor isn't visible. Thanks, Ralph
  12. Just wondering how many people on the 4th gen page are original owners and still have their LGTs? I bought mine 2005 LGT in August 2004 over 15 years ago.. Still have it. 103K miles. Only issues: O2 sensor. CV boot. Valve cover gasket. Rear wheel bearings. Everything else was maintenance items.
  13. Sounds about right price wise to me. I did them myself and I'm not a mechanic. But I do have experience.
