hey guys. i am new to this forum. i hv searched and searched all sites and hv blistered my index finger on my right hand. lol. so here is my problem. my car has a low idle and stalls when i rev the engine when in neutral. the car has no mods except for a aem intake. i hv

-cleaned the iacv(twice)
-cleaned and tightened fitv screw,
-cleaned tb(replaced gasket)
-cleaned egr ports, valve(twice) and replaced gasket
-replaced pcv
-bled coolant
-new oem plugs, wire, dizzy
-checked for vacuum leaks

nothing helped a bit. strangest thing is there are NO cels.

now for the questions
1)could a faulty map or tps do this?
2)timing belt service was done recently do u think timing being off could cause this?
3)what else could cause thiis?

any suggestions r welcomed and appreciated. thnx.

 

also, when i do the cel checking using the paper clip method, my atts light flashes giving me code 43. using this http://www.geocities.com/riced....html it gives "asbolute manifold pressure". what does that mean that my map is bad or that i have a vacuum leak?

 

sounds like a mass airflow sensor to me. make sure you have it plugged in. i'm sure you do, but check it anyway

 

yeah i do hv it plugged in. but why is the atts flashing instead of the cel? that escapes me!

 

is the cel at least on?

 

no its not. i know that the cel works because if i disconnect the map or the tps it comes on.

 

when my atts would mess up, it always gave me a code 43...too bad i'm not a honda tech. i never knew what that code was.

have you checked your spark plug wires? are they all going to the distributor in the correct order? i can't think of anything else that wouldn't throw a code

 

i'm not a honda tec but chec this out

omg...I've always wanted a site like that!

 

i'm confused are you checking for ecu error code or atts ?

 

It's not done yet but, pretty soon it will be a nifty decoder.. It's still running beta I had a confusion in DTC and wasnt sure how to enter the values in html format but, of course i won't tell unless that person uses that code

Update: so far it's working 100%

 

He has an ATTS code, but I don't think it's his problem. I had that problem many times. The car would run fine but without the ATTS.

 

You have all the codes? If you have any problems with coding anything, pm me the problem area. I'm a computer programmer with the Air Force. I'd be more than happy to help you out.

 

i was reading up on the helms manual and all it says is clear the atts dtc using a procedure. i am so confused. comeon guys someone must know how to diagnose the problem. grrr!

 

You can clear the code by pulling your radio fuse(7.5) under your hood. That's not going to help you, though.

 

Your right it would not I would always follow Helms.. I think it's turning out to be the book of day for me.
Air force .. I can see you guys bobin your heads with nelly. I'm not really experianced in codeing but,

it sounds like your running too rich bro, your timming could be off or your belt off a tooth causing the spark to happen to soon, or you map sensor had fucked off on you. try pulling off your vacume line from the map sensor and play around with pluging it or wide open or giving it half vacume if this helps then you know its your map sensor man...
good luck
