I'm sure you all remember my last thread that I built the one car with the parted out, and wrecked base model 93's.



Well as of December 14th, 2004, we pulled it around the neighborhood.... AND IT STARTED!!!! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png







Anyways, it will idle smooth as **** around 1000 RPM's, but as soon as you hit the gas (or tap.... whatever.) It will stall https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png I think that it's the TPS, because it was the one off of the wrecked car, and it was pushed against the fire wall, and has a small crack. Could this be the problem? I think it is, but a second opinion will be comforting...





Also I will have a couple of pictures of plugs, with the "were does this go?" https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/happy.png









And I just wanted to say.... MAN IT SOUNDED GOOD! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

Buying a new TPS from a forum member, and hopefully that will fix the problem.







Thanks, Cory

the car should still run with the tps unhooked. make sure your fuel system is working properly

qwester007 12-14-2004 11:33 PM

Yes- the car will IDLE with a broken TPS, but it will not run above idle.

Wow, nothing was wrong with the engine/TPS, I just had the fuel lines on backwards https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png Once I switched them, it started right up, idles at around 500 RPM's (lower most of the time... maybe bad?) and has a pulsing that makes it sound like it got a 1/2 bridge port. But I think that's just the TPS being bad/needing adjusted.





And I must be getting some good boost, because I hit fuel cut at around 3000 out of 1st.... Didn't try that anyone once I felt it. Need an ECU now.







And why does everyone say the Blitz nur-spec is loud? I've got over a 3" down pipe, a 2.75" midpipe, and the blitz Nur-spex (over 3"). And it seems rather quit to me, sounds freakin awsome at the RPM's I've had it at. I heard another guys that was running a single, and it was a good 2-3 times louder! Stock twins help I guess https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png Anyways, I would suggest that exhaust for anyone looking, sound sweet!

Well I just bought a PFC on ebay, hopefully the local customs place can tune my car like they say they can https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png
