the IAT sensor wouldn't reach so i cut it and jerry rigged it back together. it's throwing a IAT code.

the car won't start, well it will sometimes, but i have to hold down the throttle for it not to die. sounds real hesitant. what should i be on the look for besides the ordinary vacuum leak?

 

ttt, need help asap

 

intake air temperature sensor

 

check your wiring job, or it could be a bad sensor

 

yea the sensor ate ****, it caught on fire.

it had 2 positives running to it.....there's a plug that looks just like the one i used that i'm going to try when i get a new sensor.

it's hesitating like hell, shooting black smoke. is that because it's in limp mode?

 

I had the same problem when I did my skunk2 install. The sensor fried, i replaced it, worked fine after that.

Good luck

 

don't feel bad, I fried my JDM p73 when installing the S2 manifold on mine...

had to extend the IACV wires, for some reason, didn't insulate them good, they shorted out and took the ECU down with it... Took me a whole month off and on to figure out the root of the problem, fixed the wiring, swapped the ECU worked perfectly afterwards.

Expensive mistake... next time disconnect the battery when doing anything electrical on the car, make sure wiring is done right and most of all take your time to ensure everything is done with care.

 

yea i think i will probably fry another sensor in the process.

honda and their damn interchangable plugs! why can't they be like computers and have color coded plugs?!

 

i would look somewhere else..that may not be the problem


cause your car will run and drive fine with the sensor unplugged you know?

 

Or maybe he could try listening to me.. someone who had EXACTLY the same problem? And if not... exactly where else should he start looking?

that's the weird part. a friend with a b16 swap unplugged his and it worked fine, but that's the code it's throwing.
