could you tell me what the tps is or afm is or where can i find it or maybe where i can find an illustration of the parts involved with the intake system,as you can tell i'm not familiar with these parts.

Your Air Flow Meter is under the stock airbox. Where you adjust the TPS is shown in this pic.

technically you cant adjust the tps since all it does is sense the postion of the throttle. you can however adjust the throttle or idle

Hey guys i was told by one of my friends that the primary injectors plugs might be interchanged,meaning i plug the wrong plug to the injector.Could this cause it not to idle?

You know what guys this son of a gun was right,interchanged the plugs and the car finally idles.

it revs itself from 700 -1200 rpm up and down but at least it stays running,now i can start playing with the afm or tps etc.But at least i'm heading in the right direction

First, turn down that idle. My idle was at 1,500 and bobbed up and down because that's too high, it just is. My brother loosened my throttle cable and it sat RIGHT at 1,000, NO problems. If just lowering the idle doesn't fix it, then check your TPS.

When you first start the car, keep it revved to about 2,000 with your foot for about 15 seconds or so, then just let it go and let it adjust on it's own. That helps to warm it up for just a second, and then just let it sit there till you SEE the temp gauge move, then you're ready to drive.

yeah i agree. My car was doing the same thing. i would start it up and it would go up to 2500rpm for 20-30 secs then on its way down to 750-1000rpm it would just continue to zero and start up. It did that to me a couple of times but one day it did it to me 3 times straight so i hold up automatically up there and lower it to 1000 then let it adjust itself. My car was having idling problems and fuel problems. One day it didnt start, like 3 days ago, i take out the plugs , its has mad carbon depostis, so i sand it off, and cooke em over my stove to burn off and extra fuel, throw them back on and clean ou tthe wireset and i start my car, lets just say , no idling problems whatsover, car runs bettter ,a nd non of that werid idling ****. Plus the plus and wires only have like 2k on em, there good.

Good luck
