Idle issues

sleeper_inc · August 18th, 2007, 03:47 PM

My idle all ****ed up on my car again. With the IAC unplugged and the cam installed 0*'s its idling at 1500 RPM and its a bitch to start (foot to the floor and cranking for 10 seconds)

Start listing off issues because now I just wanna do the engine swap with a C3 and call it good for a year

NO POSTING USELESS SHIT IN HERE GUYS

ah this again eh?

Well you def. have a vaccumm leak somewhere, best bet is to seafoam it and see where the leak comes from

it has alot to do with the intake, i know for a fact that the one line that was on the stock air box that sucks air needs to be plugged, thats one reason that may cause high idle, might wanna check it out

sleeper_inc · August 18th, 2007, 06:39 PM

I sea foamed my engine a while ago and that line is being used with my boost gauge right now so anyone got any other ideas?

TurboLX · August 18th, 2007, 06:48 PM

hmmmm..........

maybe your IAC is outta range?

sleeper_inc · August 18th, 2007, 07:33 PM

Ok I got it. A stripped hole on the TB for the IAC caused it the bolt to back out. Drilled the hole out and bolted it down so now it idles at 1000 RPM and the IAC is still unplugged (because its fucked)

TurboLX · August 18th, 2007, 07:38 PM

then you need to range it

IMO, i leave mine unplugged so it idles about 800rpms and with the flowmasters it sounds like a cammed out 302, sounds cool

so what is this yall are talking about

what are you unpluging

TurboLX · August 19th, 2007, 12:36 AM

The Idle Air Control, that round long thing on the back of your throttle body with a plug on it

MSO · August 19th, 2007, 12:40 AM

im having idle problems too

pops said its the vacuum leak tho, plus i didnt fill in my TB's hole for the crank's vent thingy

so yea.. that mad sense lol

93fourbangerstanger · August 19th, 2007, 12:40 AM

so what if i do it to mine lol

sleeper_inc · August 19th, 2007, 12:41 AM

Controls you idle

sleeper_inc · August 19th, 2007, 12:42 AM

It could make you idle lower or it could blow your engine up

93fourbangerstanger · August 19th, 2007, 12:43 AM

lol good thing i asked
that would be no good lol

TurboLX · August 19th, 2007, 12:43 AM

MSO you def. have a vac leak

93 4banger, if you unplug it, it will idle real low and give a bit of a lumpy sound at idle, sounds cammed

Sleeper, might wanna see if its ranged correctly

TurboLX · August 19th, 2007, 12:43 AM

ahhhh ha funny guy, blow up your engine

MSO · August 19th, 2007, 12:46 AM

the thing barely makes enough power to move the damn crank
