I converted from auto 2 stick not long ago. I have a eg6 with a y7 swap. Car drives real good but wen I'm a a full stop or out of gear my car ideal's from 1 to 1 1/2 rpm. I changed the iyak sensor, and all the lil sensor's on the intake mani but still have the problem. I don't have no check engine light or nothing and i also changed the ecu into a stick ecu. Some time the car will smell like gas inside, need help this is driving me crazy.......

 

Is the throttle cable adjusted too tightly?

Have you also tried:
-adjusting the idle screw on the throttle body?
-bleeding the cooling system?
-troubleshooting the ECT sensor below the distributor?

Have you checked for a fuel leak around the fuel filter and fuel rail? Is the engine running rich and getting low gas mileage?

 

The cable is on tight, I also bleed the cooling system, also adjusted the screw on the throttle body, I have no gas leak and the gas last me not at long as wen it use 2 b auto cuz of the reving.

How would I toubleshoot the ect?

 

The throttle cable should be loose not tight. There should be 3/8" to 1/2" of free play.

 

that he is saying about the throttle cable is, that it could be on too tight causing it to open up a little bit

 

still your consupmtion on gas is easy. GET YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL. that is the easiest way to put it. manuals do use more gas than auto's cause autos are pre set for the best gas mileage. as far as your leaks check the fuel pump and all along the fuel rail. also if you have it check the vacum lines that go to the mani from the charcoal canister. that could be full to and that would give a rich and a raw fuel smell

 

If driven the same way, a manual will get substantially better mileage than an auto primarily because the operation of an auto transmission requires a substantial amount of engine power whereas as a manual transmission requires almost no engine power.

 

well i will give you that this coming form an 18 year old so give me some credit for tryin lol

 

Nice try. But your other advice seems pretty good.

 

yeah i have had some of those problems with my car and i have yet to solve my burning rich problem. lol if you followw some of these topics you can learn a lot from these guys just by itself.
