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!!!!







Anyways, it will idle smooth as **** around 1000 RPM's, but as soon as you hit the gas (or tap.... whatever.) It will stall 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?"









And I just wanted to say.... MAN IT SOUNDED GOOD!

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







Thanks, Cory

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 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 Anyways, I would suggest that exhaust for anyone looking, sound sweet!
