Can I use a OBD 1 TB from a 94 GSR on my 99 B16 SI motor? Seems like the sensors are in the same spot but their is that thing on the bottom of the GSR TB. I am having a bad idle problem and had this TB sitting around so I was going to swap them out to see if it helped.

Thanks

what kind of idle problems are you having? lets make sure its the TB before you have to tear it apart.

SilentHeaven

OK well it idles really high at about 2000 and when its not doing that it is going up and down up and down from 2500 to 500 or so bout once a sec. I have already taken apart the IACV and cleaned it. I also cleaned the TB itself and wiped it cleaned. So my next step that I was going to do was swap out the TB and sensors and see if that helped.

sounds like you have a vaccuum leak on your intake manifold somewhere

SilentHeaven

Yea somebody has said that before but I have no idea where to start and what to do for that. Any tips on the who what when where etc. etc to fix that problem it is really annoying and i know it hurts my MPG

dude i have the same problem. i did the same exact things. i have another tps sensor i was gonna put on and calibrate, but i was bout to look for leaks first just no time lately. all you have to do is spray carb cleaner or something around your manifold hoses, as soon as the idle drops you found your vacuum prob.

SilentHeaven

Well i Googled it and tom i will get some carb cleaner and check all my hoses and gaskets where their is a vacuum. Thanks for the help and i hope it works.

do you have cruise control? and if you don't, did you plug up the vacuum port for it?

SilentHeaven

Yea I love H-T and Google

SilentHeaven

No cruse control and no clue bout that port. I bought the car with the swap and have had more probs then ever. Where is it at? Will I find it with the carb cleaner trick? Its a 97 with a 99 SI engine and ECU

back right of the intake manifold.. ill take a photo if you need one. that was my problem when i swapped in my b16a2.


like where #12 is in this diagram.

SilentHeaven

Thanks!!!! If it wasn't raining and dark outside I would go check it now but it will have to wait till the am. Plus my girl would be pissed about me working on my car at almost 11 pm.

geneeunit

ok ok i did it. it's missing the vacuum port plug for the cruise control..will that little bitty whole cause all the idle problems?

2000civ

yup. the littlest hole will **** u. plug it up son.

93egSLEEPER

yeeep plug it and i bet your good to go bro.

geneeunit

start the car, cover that port with your finger.. and watch your idle drop to a nice 700rpm. go buy a vacuum plug tomorrow at autozone or something.

you're welcome. next problem?

SilentHeaven

yea not enough money for my 700hp boosted daily driven dream lol

geneeunit

sell crack cocaine. next problem?

or just get some hose that fist the port and shove a bolt or screw in the hose...then shove the hose on the port...no need to buy anything for this fix

93egSLEEPER

thats known as a temporary "ghetto" fix. OP do it the right way and buy a 10 cent vacuum cap

SilentHeaven

BTW I've got wholesale crack cookies for sale !!!!
