Did the new washers seal properly?


I have no idea how to check that?


Easy way to check is to pour some water over each injector hole, then start the engine.
If you see bubbles while its running then you know the injectors are not sealed properly.

Are you still having fuel leaks?

Do you have a boost gauge? How do you know its not making boost until 3K rpm?
If this is the case, then you either:
a. have no vacuum going to the actuator on the turbo
or
b. the vanes in the turbo are stuck

At idle, vacuum to the turbo should be high. You can pull the vacuum line off and feel if there is any vacuum there. While doing this, shine a flashlight down between the turbo and exhaust manifold to look at the vacuum actuator linkage. When you pull the vacuum line off the linkage should drop. Reconnect the vacuum line and the linkage should pull up.

Yeah, sounds like the vanes might have got glued in place while it was sitting. I think you should see the turbo rod (actuator rod? whatever) move about 1/2" when you pull the vacuum line while it's running. You might need the oven cleaner method. A lot of folks advise the Italian Tuneup, but if you have an old sloppy turbo, that can kill it, especially if the vanes are sticking...
You can also grab the actuator rod and feel if the vanes are sticking. It should slide up and down the 1/2" I believe. Flash and others know this better than me....


Okay I was just working on the Liberty, I can pull the vacuum line and see the turbo/actuator rod moving smoothly up and down about 1/2", now does that mean the vanes or opening and closing, or just that the rod is moving?

Thanks

That should indicate that the turbo vanes are functioning.
