upper intake gasket

Recommended Posts

When I had this problem, as in just starting the car it would sometimes hit rev limiter by itself, other times the idle would hang and not come down, resulted in my Throttle Position Sensor being bad. It was giving the wrong input voltage thus making seem like the throttle was being applied at so many %. Like said above you need to see the datalog to find the issue.

 

You could have even got a "bad out of the box" TPS?

IIRC @ idle the TPS voltage shouldnt be more than .58 v give or take and my IAC valve was at 7, I may need to confirm those later tonight.

TPS voltage should be NEAR .5 volts at an idle, but TPS% needs to be 0 or 0.39% at idle. anything else and oddities will pop up.

Quick question how do I get the car to idle to check these items....when I start it up it revs to 3k and slowly drops to 2k never going to idle say at 750or 800 when I put it in gear it drops to about 1.5 k

how many times are you going to ask that?

im asking because they are telling me to check tps voltage at idle and percentage should be around 0 to 39 at idle how do I do that if it wont idle ??????

with the throttle fully closed, you should see 0 or 0.39 %, regardless of RPM. if it's anything above that, it could be what is causing your high idle.

Thanks Robert I'm just a harry homeowner with very limited tech exp. on vehicles but gotta save what little money I have things are tuff ......so thats why im trying to find out if it could be something a little less expensive or not as time consuming like trying to change intake gaskets ....only to find out thats not the issue here ....I borrowed a co-workers code reader and hooked it up earliar and from what I remember it showed the tps at 55 .....I will double check and get back .....thanks for all the help with this ......

Hey Robert this is what I got from data stream dont know how to print it off but wrote down what I thought would be helpful ....coolant 170,egr command off,rpm 1200 in gear,ex o2-lean,IAC-posistion 0,maf-45, map hg-14.61, map-v 2.06, iat 79, thottle 0, tps sensor 0.55 .....the tps sensor I replaced 2 days ago .......anything that I missed that might help out .....

so sounds like intakes ? all lines seem to be fine, unless theres one under somewhere that I dont see but I doubt it ....thanks Robert I guess I got to get something together this weekend for the intakes............thank you everyone for the help .

closed throttle, 1200RPM in gear at ~49.2kPa with 0 IAC counts, it's a giant leak. if it's not the UIM or LIM gaskets, i'll be amazed.

Hey Robert question for you when I pickup intake gaskets is there any other gaskets or seals I should get also ? egr, thermostat, what about injector seals ? I see that the oil pump shaft seal leaks quite often on these some people have a fix that seems to work well any input is welcome ........thanks for your help and anyone else
