my car has very slow throttle response. when the car is in neutral and i floor it , it will then take a few seconds, about 2 seconds
tps is good , afm running good but my idle is way up about 2k. i have set it before to about 1k and there is even more poor throttle response when it is set like that ? anyone have an idea to what it could be? n e help will be appreciated
thanks guys

bumpity bumpity bump bump

 

bad timing? dirty fuel filter? dirty air filter?

 

give it tune up and see if that helps

what is a typical idle? 1k? mine idles at 2k. Also which way turns down your idle. I turned it ccw. Is there an auto choak? I've been getting *** for gas mileage and i think if i have achock it might be suck on.

 

i do have bad gas mileage and i have new spark plugs and fairly new wires. cone air filter isnt that bad . fuel filter was changed about 6k miles ago . timing is pretty right on i think. well n e other suggestions? ohh and ccw is the way my idle goes up also... but what would that mean ?
well thanks again

N E OTHER REsponses please?
thanks

THIS RESponse from my throttle blows *** dude!!!

 

Per FSM, stock idle is 750. If you're mileage sucks, you're running rich. Running too rich will hurt power (see poor throttle responce). Leaky injectors? Worn seals? Which screw are you using to adjust your idle speed?

 

when i adjust the idle screw it does adjust much. THink my choke could be stuck

i may have leaky injectors seeing that i have the occasional flood out! and i jus had my engine rebuilt so could that be a culprit?

 

You have fuel injection, so you don't have a choke. Choke's are for those arcaic carb setups some people insist on using. Yes, your rebuild could be involved. You shouldn't be romping on the gas untill you have at least 1k mi on it, and preferably 5k.

 

I HAVE ABOUT 4K bro should be almost broken in by now it flooded b4 the rebuild and now after! shouldnt be doin that ... leaky injector?

 

If you were flooding before the rebuild, and still are, look first at the injectors.

As for the slow throttle response. Check and make sure the plugs aren't gummed from the flooding, and make sure the wires go to the right plugs. Check air and fuel filters.

 

ok thatz cool but for the injectors.... what do i look for? or do i just take em out and get them professionally cleaned? thanks
jack

 

AND IF THE CLEansing doesnt work then what ? replace with expensive injectors ? i know they are alot of money too wow like $250.00 ea.

 

You'll have notable results, when machine cleaning your FI's, Irregardless If this Is your existing problem with the slow Thrittle response or not. Like better performance, better fuel mileage etc.....

 

not $250 each.
and find the broken one first, chances are they aren't all leaking, if any are.

 

IM THINKIN THE LEAKY FI has sumthin to do with my flooding.. so it could have sumthin to do with my slow throttle response oo? hope it does and it is the problem but knowing my car its not .... jus gotta trouble shoot im guessin...
thanks
guys

 

check your freakin throttel cable, if its too lose, the cruz controll can also mess stuff up

 

a 2 second hesitation in my experience has almost always been due to running rich. Not just leaky injectors but poor tuning. Find a shop that can analyze your exhaust, maybe on a dyno, and find out for sure.

Your idle is way too high and should be very steady somewhere between 750-800 (some people like it up a bit higher).

Once you get your air/fuel mixture straightened out, the throttle body mod makes a noticeable difference as well. Basically it involves removing the 2ndary throttle plates and porting out the front half.

Another thing to try right now is clean your Air Flow Meter. Take it off and hose down the inside really well with carb cleaner. Make sure the flapper moves freely. If it is super dirty in there, it could be adding extra resistance to the flapper door making it slower to open, less air = running richer temporarily. Good luck.

 

afm is clean as a whistle and door flapper swings back and forth like the wind... i dont have cruise control... but throttle cable is likely but i doubt it i checked it 0nce its ok im jus trying to trouble shoot and u guys are helpin out alot thanks again
