Hey guys I just got a new turbo kit in the mini-me. What im' experiencing is a throttle response problem. I didn't have this before I tried to check timing everything seems right. ANyone know what problem im running through? When I try to step on the gas slowly it would go but if i full throttle it would just sound like it doesnt wanna go...

 

did you have a shop tune it man

 

I plan to take it to a shop to tune after everything was in, but the problem I'm running through right now is probably timing the throttle doesn't wanna response or something . I've checked and adjusted timing belt like 4 5 times. It still does the same thing. I've had to motor all in the car before it started with no problem, but I did take the head apart and put it back in. Would that effect the TDC of the head?

 

Do you have any check engines? You said you took the head apart, almost sounds like the map and tps plugs are switched. Not sure what map sensor you have, but the stock ones have the same plug as the tps, ans can get switched by accident. Other than that yea, it would sound like timing, but if it's on it's on.

 

are still running stock injectors?

 

yea my injectors are not in yet. but i started it before. there was no problem with the throttle response.

Yea sixty, I was thinking the same thing one of the plugs might be switched I will try that again today. Yes I have CEL haven't checked that its probably for VTEC solenoid and O2 sensor , but ill try checking everything today. Thanks for the replies guys.

 

Okay I switched the map sensor with the other sensor the throttle response is a lottttttt better. One problem, if i full thorttle and let go quickly it'll go back down and idle really low, like the car is about to die. What could this be? I had some friend used a timing gun and the 1 line matched up with the belt cover, should the 3 lines with the red dot match up or the single line match up? Is it the distributor that needs to be adjusted? Help guys!!!

 

the middle of the 3 lines should match up if you're not using a timing light that has the ignition advance feature.
