installing a greddy vspl. everythings hooked up. car will start and die real fast. if i get of the gas i can get it running but it'll die when i let off throttle. tripple checked all connections. just wondering about the two lines that go to stock tmic, i capped them both off since theres no nipples on the greddy kit to plumb them to. those two important? thanks

 

One is for the AWS (3000rpm start) and is not important. Remove the solenoid from the UIM if you still have it. The other is for the ASV that adds air when the power steering is used. If you cap it the engine might stumble or stall when you turn the steering wheel when idling.

Capping these two lines will not cause the symptoms you describe. It sounds more like you've left the plug off the AFM.

 

thanks for the reply. i have the plug on the afm attached.

 

Oops, I just read you can keep it going using the gas pedal, so it wouldn't be the AFM. It sounds like a like big vac leak. Is the TID secure on the turbo?

 

check to see if all the hose clamps are tightened.

 

i have the tid as tight as i can get it on. i've looked it over and dont see any cracks. both lines are plugged on the tid with the hardware that came with the greddy kit. i also made sure all clamps are tight. cant seem to find a vacuum leak, wouldnt it need to be a big leak to make it not idle/start unless gas is pressed? thanks

 

Most likely. Just double check all the silicone couplers connecting all the pipes.

 

a friend sugested i bump up the idle with the screw. since i tried everything already i adjusted it and it idles/drives fine. anyone else ever have to adjust the idle after putting on the vspl? thanks

 

Was looking through old subscribed threads and thought I should reply. I reset my idle since it was slightly lower than before and also reset the TPS after installing the VSPL.

 

Did you plug the holes on the back of the stock TId that used to go to the bov and other hoses? What about the BAC valve vacuum supply from the old IC piping? These are common culprits during this install.

 

Are you asking me or the original poster? Anyways I had an aluminum TID so those 2 holes on the back are covered. For the BAC I have a small 1/8" NPT fitting. I dont think it's big enough for the airflow the BAC needs so I'll get a larger one on there in the future.

 

The guy with the problem? duh!

 

well considering the thread is almost a year old i doubt the original poster sees this

 

Almost a year old huh? First post says 12/04
