Hello All,

trying to get some insight or things to check for from people who have installed a skunk2 intake manifold.

after the install when i go to start the car it idles around 3000 for 6-10 seconds, then dies.
I still have the stock throttle body which has the FITV.

I deleted the EGR and i'm using a s300 on a p72 which doesn't read EGR

my next thought is the IACV, but that is install and hooked up right.

thoughts/insight appreciated.

Thanks!

 

I ran into that when i put mine on. Try switching the idle hoses around.

 

hmm i was thinking the same thing, although easier said then done.

I don't have the IACV relocator parts so i bolted it to the back of the manifold. i have the IACV sensor plug facing the drivers side.

i am 95% sure this is the right way for it to face.

that being said if you or someone could check and tell me how the lines are ran i could rule this out.
(ex. the vacuum hose on the IACV that is closest to the sensor plug is connected to the hole on the back of the intake manifold that is more on the driver's side)

someone please confirm

 

Did you make sure you didn't hook the map sensor and the throttle position sensor backwards? Check the plugs.

 

I second checking this. Try seeing if there may be fuel leaking anywhere also. The pump maybe can build pressure for it to start but maybe once it starts leaking when it's running, it dies

 

hmm....well i have a 3bar map sensor so i don't think it could be the plugs mixed up.

Also if i datalog on the hondata s300 i can see the tps showing the throttle percentage. which confirms the plugs being correct.

at first when i primed the fuel pump i began to smell fuel. then i loosened and tightened the fuel rail banjo bolt and the leak stopped.

thanks for the quick responses, keep em coming.

 

Can't help on which hose is which since my motor is torn apart now since the oil pump killed it.
