alright, i just recently swaped out my 94 LS for a 99 LS, the other engine was throwing alot of smoke (rings) well anyways im running a chipped p75 obd2 engine harness everything else is obd1 anywayz when i had the other LS it would do the exact same thing, idle rough like its dying, when i rev it, it revs fine no back fire nothing, but when i let go of gas after reving it, it idles low like its about to turn off, the injectors on my other engine were brand new i didnt put em on, i just put the whole swap how it was, and it does the same thing. i changed spark plugs same thing, cant be fpr its a diffrent one. anyone have any ideas of what might be causing this?
My h2b did this shortly after putting it in. I replaced my used O2 sensor with a Bosch one. Same symptoms with the other O2 sensor installed, But got tired of changing things. I bought new DSM 440's, changed my Main relay for the new one I just bought for my other car, changed the FPR, already had a new fuel filter, and a new walbro fuel pump. Mine would idle really rough and then stutter and shut off.Turns out after I went to go figure out what my problem was at the dyno, just backed up to it so my tuner and I could use the wideband and the screens to see what was going on with it. Turned out my **** box 2 month old bosch O2 sensor sucked *****, and wasn't doing its job, since it would idle fine running off the map sensor with the O2 disabled. I replaced the O2 sensor and it worked out fine, just the $200 price tag attatched to the sensor that makes it a little undesirable to have to purchase. At least it fixed mine.
