hey whats going on. I just finished my first ls/vtec today but the car is going crazy as soon a i start it. i have a 95 teg with a b18a block and a b16a head. the head is obd0 and i'm not sure that all the sensors are working. as soon as i start the car the throttle takes off like i'm stomping on it. any body have any idea?

 

wow i have no idea man. is it your daily driver?

 

not yet. still under construction if you know what i meen. i bought the car from some old lady that blew the timing belt. so my plans for the car are to repaint and do a ls/vtec swap but **** keeps slowing me down. i really thought it would be easy but i was wrong.

 

your throttle cable isn't tight is it? i kinda had the same problem with my ls/vtec, but i had a vacume leak in back of the intake mani, and plugged it. i had a vacume line that didnt need to be connected. that took me a min to figure out. i would check all your vacume lines.

 

first off go underthe hood and make sure the hrottle plate and pulley are fully closed...

 

Man, I think your right about the vacuum leak. i'm really unformilair with this old b16 intake. It looks like a bowl of spaggetti on top of it. lines going everywere. i must of check the tb fifty times today so i'm possitive thats not the prob. i did chop the legs off the distributor could that be part of the problem? oh, get this if i retard the t2iming on the dist the car spits and sputters. if i advance it revs like crazy.

 

sounds to me that it might be a vacuum leak also. and i completely redid all of my tubes on my intake mani, it was too big of a mess to me...

 

finally got the rev fixed you guy were right. it was a vacuum leak. all the props to you. unfortanetly once she was running right i noticed there was anti-freeze coming from the head gasket. i give up! with all the money i throw into this thing. i'm going to sell it and buy a gsr block. the stupid kid that was helping me didn't tourque the head bolts right and some how put the ******* head gasket on backwards. this guy is suppose to be a certified chevy mechanic! man, i new i should have left to get something to eat (****)!
today i desided to take it all apart and realized the kid we just hired (cirtefied chevy mechanic) is a ******* idiot! i started to loosin the head bolts and wow their not that tight. then pulled the head completly off and find the head gaskets not on right.
ps thanks for the help guys

 

wow, that really sucks.... it makes me sad actually
- you should try to get him to pay for the fix

 

yeah that sux... but the key word(s) was... chevy mechanic...

 

thanks for the concern, but i think im going to post it on ebay. thanks for all the help though. you guys really helped when i was stressen
