i just got through porting my plenum, and hooked it all up, and went riding aroung for about 15 min. getting on it a little to see if i could tell much of a differance. well as i was heading home, the temp gauge was slowly rising from 195ish up to 240ish. the car was idling around 1500-2000 rpms. almost acting like the throttle was stuck or something. i am pretty sure that i hooked everything up right when i put it back on. any ideas.......

 

Did you move the distributor at all?

 

oh, and while i was in there, i basically took the cansiter out the the air filter was setting in. kinda help in flow better. could that have anything to do with it??? possibly sucking in the hot air from the engine bay back into the motor????

 

nope, didnt touch the dist. at all.

 

it couldnt be any kinda sensor could it???? i am not getting any ses lights.

 

also, when i took it all off, i clean the trottle body with simple green, and an electrical parts cleaner.
anyone think that the iac stepper motor or the tps went bad when i cleaned it???

 

if you didn't remove the sensors before cleaning, most likely.

 

do you think that it is both of them??? i just called the dealer, 68.54 for the iac motor, 64.03 for the tps. i just want to make sure before i spend the money ya know.

 

Check you vacum lines.. Make sure they all went to the right places..

 

does anyone have pics of the vacuum lines and where they go??? i have a haynes manual, but it doesnt even have anything in it for a tpi car. that would help me out alot.

 

I degreesed my engine and now its starting to act up but it didn't for about 2 weeks and now it is its idling funny and surging when acelerating below 35. Could this be my TPS? and I have a code 44 for lean 02 sensor

 

well i just replaced the tps, no change. it threw a code now. i am driving it up there to see what it is now.

 

well heres the update............
going to "the zone" to get the codes pulled and the car is almost acting right. when i accelerate the ses light goes off, when i decelerate the ses light comes back on, and so forth. well i get to autozone, and they dont have a diagnostic mach for my car so i dont know what the code is. my temp seems to be okay now, but its still acting a little funny. when i unplugged the iac motor, the car jump up idling like it was before, when i plugged it back up, it went away. could the iac be going bad????? or does the car have to adjust to the plenum being ported????
any more help is appreciated.
