b18c1
skunk2 intake manifold
skunk2 cam gears

just installed swap:

new spark plugs,new wires,new cap,new rotor,(new dist internals, coil and module)new fuel filter

new alternator belt
new timing belt

i set the cam gears to zero, and i have to fully advance the timing for it to gas normally when warm, still doesnt feel like the power of a gsr

when i start it up, it bogs and hesitates below 3000 rpms. when its warm it doesnt bog at all. i am not getting any CELs. before when it was warm, it wouldnt have a low idle but now it just drops and as a low idle around 250 rpms and it goes up and down and sometimes shuts off. i replaced the IACV and cleaned out the FITV but still no luck, i changed out the tps and map and still no luck. tried messing with different degrees on the cam gears but still no luck. when i unplug the iacv with the car on it shuts off but maybe thats normal. its has a stock gsr ecu. and basically a stock motor. i've tried another 02 but that seems not to be the problem. i think ive narrowed it down to either the injectors or i dont know what else

 

You might have a leak in the intake manifold gasket ot throttle body.Check for vaccume leaks and if you have an adjustable fuel pressure regulator,set it at 43psi.Try that and see what happens.

 

ok ill check it tomorow, when i put my hand over the throttle body, should it shut off if it doesnt have a leak, how do i test for leaks, i have a stock fpr

thanks

 

i got new gaskets but that didnt solve the problem , i sprayed wd40 near the intake manifold to see if it had any leaks but none ( engine will idle higher with wd40) , i decided to unplug the engine coolant temp sensor while the engine was warm and it seem to run better, i have to try it wile its cold

 

Have you tried messing with the idle adjustment screw?

Did you properly gap the spark plugs?

 

yeh i did that, at first, it wasnt do anything, so i decided to put on an adjustable fpr, it doesnt bog when cold or have a low irratic idle when its warm anymore, it just some times dips in rpm (I.E. when idling at 800 rpm after idling for a min or so it will dip to like 600 and stay for 10 sec and slowly go back up) i think its just air bubbles so i will bleed it soon

 

Try a different ECU and see what happens!!

 

Oh yea,Is your ground wire hooked up on the valve cover???Also check the ground wilres that are on the thermastat housing.Make sure they arent loose.
