throttle body spacer is useless to you first of all, and make sure your maf is plugged in.

97TunedMustang · February 6th, 2007, 12:32 PM

sounds like you either forgot to plug back in a vaccum line or you accidentally knocked one loose. not to mention tb spacers are useless.

97stanger · February 6th, 2007, 12:42 PM

why are they useless to him? Just wondering. Thank you.

they serve no purpose they only widen the gap between the TB and the intake so if you get a bigger TB and the flap that opens hits the intake it will allow room for the TB to open fully. However they are obsolete now since TB's are engineered better than when the TB spacer was first invented.

i have the tb spacer so i may as well put it on... do u guys know how i can fix it?

mustang1072 · February 6th, 2007, 01:38 PM

if it is a vacuum line what ever that is

GreenFaleen · February 6th, 2007, 01:49 PM

check your MAF first then make sure the spacer is tight and there is no air leaking in around it and the TB is bolted down well.

mustang1072 · February 6th, 2007, 01:57 PM

well the tb is on and working great... the only thing im tryin to put on is the spacer... i have no idea what makes it act like this i have never heard of anything like this

GreenFaleen · February 6th, 2007, 04:40 PM

don't you need to take off the TB to put the spacer on?

thats what im thinking

singe · February 6th, 2007, 05:16 PM

you def need to take the tb off first...The only reason I have one was to drill it out for the bigger tb so I didnt have to do as much to the upper intake. Im getting one from the powerpack so it was just a temp fix.

itschristorres8 · February 6th, 2007, 06:00 PM

clean your IAC

mustang1072 · February 6th, 2007, 06:36 PM

of course i took off the tb b4 i put on the spacer... im not sure i know what the IAC is

Cleaning your IAC (inlet air charge temp sensor) will do absolutely nothing. The only thing in an intake that you can "clean" for better air flow would be the MAF (mass air flow sensor) and I would not recommend doing that unless you have someone who knows what they are doing to show you how to do that, or cleaning the conical filter...

mabe i should just sent id to a shop

itschristorres8 · February 6th, 2007, 07:55 PM

didnt he say his car stall?

GreenFaleen · February 6th, 2007, 08:43 PM

it really sounds like you have unmetered air coming in the engine and it isn't giving ti enough gas check all your connections real good.

mustang1072 · February 6th, 2007, 08:46 PM

sorry guys i didnt explain this very well... i have the intake and tb on right now (runs great)... i recently got a tb spacer... and when i tried to put this on the only thing my car will do is rev @ 3k rpm for like 2 seconds and then die it does this every time i try to start it with the spacer on... keep in mind my car will run great with out the tb spacer... its kinda difficult 4 me to explain and sorry 4 that

Yes he did, and the only thing in the intake that would cause that is a maf sensor unplugged or bad/dirty. The IAC would only affect gas mileage and possibly cause detonation at high rpms...
