so we finished the car this weekend!

but something is still wrong

we got a code 12(no surprise) and 24
and my dad thinks it's because of the vacuum hose
it was bad so we took it off and we are going to get the new connector/hose and put it on next weekend

could this be the only problem?

what happens is it won't rev up as quickly when i'm driving
and at stops it stalls sometimes
and it stalled when i was shifting into i think 2nd or 3rd
and usually if i dont take off around 2k it'll stall
and when i do rev it up that high taking off it sputters at 2k

 

damn that sux.....
i kinda know how you feel because i got my car goin yesterday....but it doesnt idle right...then again nothing was adjusted, so thats probally why....hopefully i will be able to take it for a ride today...but i dont think so[&:]

 

Sounds like it could be vacuum leak....might have to get a new TPS also.

 

yea because isnt 24 the TPS?

well for now we're changing all the vacuum related stuff
and hopefully that'll fix it
if it doesn't we're probably going with the TPS

 

Yes.

 

what is a TPS again? sorry for the dumb question

 

Throttle
Position
Sensor

 

OH WAIT!

does the wiring harness connect to the TPS?
or is it grounded or anything?

 

its one of the sensors in the side of the throttle body

 

crap...

i remember seeing the clamp part broken on the sensor closest to you...
i think we might have broken it when we took it all apart

if i just used electric tape and taped it down would that work?
