fired her up It was the battery. Oil psi went to 65ish which is good. Idles really high though. like 2200rpms and was not going down. Will get a vid up in a little bit

I have to check for vac leaks cuz that could be why it is running so high in rpms.

Michigan game on now though

[MP81]

Good work! Can't wait for the vid!

[97rs4life]

what kind of reading would I see on the map sensor if there is a vac leak somewhere? I am seeing like 38 right now when I start it and it is running 2200 rpms...

[JoeliusZ28]

if you got 15psi on the starter thats pretty good pressure thats what I got on mine with my plugs removed.

[ITSSLOW]

What, no video? UofM game has been over for several hours now!!!

[97rs4life]

yea well I can't get the idle to calm down so until then no vid. The car stays at like 2100-2200 rpms. I think maybe the tb blade is not shutting completely and letting air by or something. When the tb was off the car during the build I held it up to a light and there was a little bit of light around the blade that came through. So I am thinking that could be my problem.

I didn't port anywhere near the blade, so nope. I seen this before I ported it also

[JoeliusZ28]

thats really strange. have you logged it to see if its the computer adding idle air?

logged my startups but I don't think my hptuners is setup to catch IAC valve readings in the histograms.

no knock, 33* timing, 2100rpms, 38ish reading on the map, 0% tps.

[97rs4life]

Found the issue! Bad TPS sensor. Swapped it out today and she is purring now.

Now time to tune the crap out of it and get it all dialed in. Vid later tonight maybe once my friend comes over

[MP81]

Sweet! Good to hear you found/fixed the problem!

I look forward to the vid!

[JoeliusZ28]

can you use HP tuners on that one travis? Im already hating my OBD1 lol. Im gonna stop by sometime this week again, got the Z up here.

[97rs4life]

yea I use hptuners

Sprung a coolant leak earlier when I was trying to get a vid together. Looks like my tensioner bracket where I plugged a weep hole let loose and coolant is shooting out of it. So I now need to pull the tensioner bracket off and fix that.
