Well, my car has been finished, the swap is in. gsr with itr pistons, new rings, fresh hone, new bearings, stock gsr head. and it has been throwing this one code. Code #14, i believe it had something to do with the icav or something like that. I was wondering if it would be safe to drive the car with it on for a couple days, traveling about 40 miles each day. The car runs pretty good but when i let off the throttle it just sorta bogs. my friend already tried everything to his knowledge to try to fix it, and he knows a lot more than me, so imma just wait to the weekend to take it to a shop.

 

should be fine. if you haven't make sure the plug is plugged into the iac valve and all coolant hoses are connected to it. if that doesn't work, try removing the iacv and check the screen, it might clogged up. get some brake/carb cleaner and clean it up. also check for voltage coming from the plug.

 

bump for some more responses before i drive tomorrow

 

it's fine but very annoying, and car typically runs in b***h mode

 

It's safe, but damn annoying. I'm driving like that right now.

 

the only annoying part is i can't seem to keep it at a steady rpm in 1st-4th gear while cruising, im just constantly accelerating so i gotta go in to neutral and then go back into gear to cruise at a constant speed, its pretty annoying. 2 more days, and it shall be fixed.

 

sorry, to be a stickler, but i dropped a lot of money (well to me, its a lot) on this motor, i just wanna make sure its ok to drive. sorry, im annoying.

 

its just ur iacv..no big deal...sounds kinda funny saying it to a guy who just built his motor...but get yourself a helms manual and diagnose it yourself...pretty much theres only a few things that could be wrong with it...not getting power...clogged...or its done for...driving with it not connected will not have any adverse effects on your motor...yeah the cel will retard your timing so you wont be getting all the power potential, but youll be fine till you get it fixed

 

thanks, and i didn't build the motor, i just watched a very knowledgable friend of mine do it.

 

have you checked if its getting power?

 

yes, my wiring harness was made hella ghetto by the previous so its all screwed up.
