Reply With Quotedid you check your basic and actual ignition timing?
basic ignition timing (ignition timing adjuster grounded): 5* +/-2* btdc
actual ignition timing (timing adjust ungrounded, free idle): 10* btdc
Ok so i was driving home from work today and i stopped at a stop sign and my car almost stalled on me. Its still choking itself... Does anyone know of any other sensor that could be bad beside my tps? Also how do you check to see if your injectors are bad? BTW no CEL

ok yea u just confused the shit out of me... lol how do you do that???
when you start the car, does the CEL light up and then turns off, or its always off. If its always off then the bulb is out. Thats just unusual not to have the CEL on.
i agree with you on that.. could it even be an issue with his computer in that car.. short circuit or something???Originally Posted by mko

No No it works normal wheni turn my car on it turns on along with all the other bullshit and then it turns off..... im thinking that my tps might be bad...

Idk how to do that though can anyone explain to me how?
Edit* If it was the timing wouldnt it be happening all the time?? If so thats not it then because it doesnt constantly happen... the idle itself is better but when im driving the rpms are still diving.... an then bouncing back up??? would my egr cause this???

Alright guys get this... I was looking at my car today and messing around.. its was running shitt and so i unplugged my mafs and my idle evened out... so im thinking maybe its bad but im not throwing a CEL. so right now i have a k&n cone filter on and i switched mack to my metal filter and its pretty much running fine... i think either the harness or the mafs itself isnt sending the correct signals... weird huh?
