OK, i got the swap done a while back and ive been working out the problems as they come up. My problem i am having right now is that it doesnt idle right. I have read about 30 threads by now and more to come after i finish this question. My car when i start it idles at a stead 2 grand. I read that putting your finger over the holes inside your throttle body is a test for your FITV. I put my finger over the bottom hole, and it had a vacume before and after. when i put my finger over the upper hole inside the throttle body and it killed the motor. When the car finally warms up it idles betweed like 500 and 900(give or take 100).
Right now i cant do any further testing because when i was seeing if my spark plugs were tight i found oil on the plugs and in side there. SO i took off my valve cover to get to the plugs easier and dry out the oil in there. When i went to put the valve cover back on i broke a bolt coming up through the valve cover so now i have to find that also. I think i just didnt have the bolts on tight and that is why i had oil in there.
This is just a question to see if this is normal, my new exhaust i had put on blows out water out the back. I dont know if this was a line of bull **** but someone once told me that for every gallon of gas that is burnt a gallon of water comes out your exhaust, so i figure the water blowing out is just condisation building up inside my pipes and being blown out.
Its alot of writing but everthing was covered that i am having problems with.

mid afternoon bumb

 

How many miles was on this swap when you bought it?

 

Someone said to check the voltage at the tps so i did, i got .8 closed throttle, and at WOP i got 4.8 if someone could help me with where these numbers should be at that be great thanks.

also if you can help me with anything else that be great to.

 

the motor was out of a Automatic tegra. 95. with about 45,000 miles. Cant prove it but the motor was pretty clean when i took it apart, but the guy i bought it from didnt have the old car and he could of gave me a line of **** when telling me the miles so......

 

If you or anyone else know of any other sensors i could test and the voltage i should get is that be great, or even a finger pointing me to where i can find these at. thanks

 

tried the hybrid forum?
