I just did my zc swap, also did my timing belt, now when i start up the car it shoots up to 3-3.5k and then starts creeping farther slowly.
is my timing belt advanced a tooth or two?

 

did you set everything to TDC before and after you replaced the timing belt?
did you switch the TPS wires around?

 

Is this a symptom of advanced timing?
I know I swapped the wires on the TPS, and if I did not wouldn't the timing be retarded not advanced?
After i tighten the belt is the cam supposed to twist a little or is it supposed to be in the same position before and after I hook up the tensioner?

 

I let the car run it started to run at 2200 then I hooked up the alternator cuz I was just running it off the battery, now it runs at 2200 goes down all the way to like 200 like to the point where it sounds like the engine is off catches itself and goes back to 2200....
I am also getting 10 fast flashes on the ecu...

 

sporty 240, I have the same problem with my sohc zc swap. When mine warms up though, it idles at about 1200 rpm and kinda hesitates when revving up. Also, what do you mean by swapped the wires on the TPS? Should it be different for the ZC than say a 91 crx si?

when you convert to mpfi you are supposed to swap the two outside wires on the connector on the TPS...

 

Oh, ok, then I shouldnt have to worry about that, let me know if you get this worked out.

 

I connected IAT so no more code, still getting the messed up idle, sometimes it stabilizes at 1800 rpm though...
help please?

 

wish i could help you out, but all i can offer is check out http://www.thezcr.com there's alot of info there. and just keep searching, im sure somebody has had the same problem you are having. good luck.

 

hey make sure everytyhing is lined up right check the crank pulley it should be at the red mark where the indicater is at and make sure urs cam gears are straight up

 

i think that I have fixed my timing, i dont think timing should affect idle like that?
any suggestions?
