what are the down sides of running a carb on a fc??

White_FC

Many and varied, this has all been coverd before on there numerous times, IMHO there is no point in running a carb on an FC unless your poor and don't care about fuel economy or driveability..

But thats just my opinion, I know loads of people on here don't agree with me though

I was gonna do it because right now im having some weird missing/sputtering problem the has something to do with the throttlebodie, but I only get code 03 off the ecu=water thermo sensor and that wouldn't cause this right??

Whatever your opinion of carbs is (everyone knows mine), it would still be considerably cheaper to find and fix the problem than to do a proper carb swap.

Give us some more info on your problem and we may be able to help you fix it.

Ok here we go,
the will run fine one minute and the next it has no power at any rpm and sputters and shakes badly, when driving I have to just pull over wait for it to stop and then proced normaly

so far I've replaced, checked
leading coil
fuel filter
plugs, wires
checked and set tps
checked trailing coils
And pulled code 03 from ecu water thermo sensor

The water thermo sensor has the ability to make your car run about 60% too rich, it could very well cause these symptoms.

okay now how do I check if the signal to ecu is bad or wires??

Step One.... Take negetive lead off battery first incase you 'accidently' short something.....

Step TwoTake off nessesary **** to get at the sensor and then disconnect it, find the wires on the computer end and run a continuity test between both connectors.

Step Three. Get a multi meter of some sort and measure the resistance of the sensor, then look up in the factory service manual what the resistance should be and see if they match..
