its gonna be a long and painful process getting the ride back on the road haha. i kept running into problems and my car still isnt on the road

So far its been really smooth sailing, no problems I got the head off today and it was blown on on cyl 1 and cyl 6. small blow but enough. You definitly hear if I do run into any problems as Ill be posting whats wrong with your ride?

right now it wont idle on its own...when i start it.. it starts up. then dies unless i give it gas. it will idle on its own when i adjust the idle screw.. but when i do that.. idling starts loping. i'm gonna replace the iacv and see what happens. there seems to be a misfire.. not 100% sure though.. and i gotta replace a knock sensor (getting code 52)... im sure i have the timing dead on.
before it wouldnt drive past 3000rpm (it was in safe mode because i had a huge intake and boost leak)

have you tested the idle air control valve with a multimeter?

Kevin · 08-11-2009, 03:32 AM

no.. i dont have one lol. i have a replacement iacv anyway. it came off a working car.
if that doesnt help... idk what will? my timing seems good, 10*btdc
idk what else would cause it not to idle.. maybe its because i have a code 52 and the ecu retads timing? idk if that should affect it

a multimeter even a cheap one would really come in handy to test mass air flow sensor, iac, and all electrical componets, I have access to alldata during the school year, which gives you what your readings should be. if the computers retarding timing I would think you could advance it some to compensate to see if that fixes you idle problem.
