Exclamation Big Problems!...

Long story short, i went to install my BNR3, ported and polished LIM and UIM, knife edged's TB with the mod all done, got it thrown back together with some vac. line mis-haps, and trouble's out the ***, but here's the problem, i broke the IAT sensor, the intake air temp, sensor?, so it's not plugged in, period....

i tried starting the car, it starts and fires, but wont stay running, if i put my foot to the floor it'll idle at like, 300rpm, and if i let go, dead, again....

anyone have any idea's?, i'm searching for a new IAT sensor but would it cause my car to not run?...

thanx....

no, sounds like another problem.

huge vac leak/trashed plugs/something major.

The IAT sensor would just be making adjustments and the value seen by the ECU would be a maximum or minumum with it unplugged. Should still *run* though.

yeap going to have to agree with classicauto, my tII ran around with a busted iat sensor (one prong off, no wiring plug) for a bit till i found a replacement.

I forgot to put mine in and my car wouldn't start when I was changing to the Higgitrix TB elbow. Started right up after I installed it.
