The miracle of ATF! My honey sweetie was flooded! I love this stuff...
Anyway!
It seemed to warm up a hell of a lot faster than it did before... Maybe I was just excited and the time seemed to pass much quicker... I dunno...
Tachometer was dead on the first ignition and then started working 2nd time I started it. The only other immediate thing I noticed was that the idle doesn't seem to want to stop bouncing... Around 1500+ rpms... The infamous bouncing RX idle! I kept the BAC valve, note also when I turn on the AC the bouncing stops...
Whadya think?
Anyway I am gonna run it to the gas station, fill up and add the rest of the 16 OZ. bottle of two stoke OIL! 16oz=16.6 gallon tank right?
ANYWAY!
WOOT!
HAHA!
I love all of you! Thank you!

Congrats man!

 

Anyone know what might be the reasons for the bouncing idle? I listened to it and its a little weird. bouncing around 1300-1600 in short little bursts.

Also we checked his tps and it was at like 4.9, but for some reason i am not sure if it was completly warm yet or not. Would it not being warm enough cause this high of a reading? We also couldnt get it to go much lower then 3.3 or so.

His bac valve reads 12.8v but i think that should be ok right?

Checked for vac leaks and couldnt come up with anything. Maybe we will take a better look after we get my car up and running tonight.

And also when his AC is turned on it smooths out pretty nice. still at about 1400 i believe but steady.

 

Bad BAC.

Ride on... Thank you all!
I just read this thread...

And this guy had HAILERS stumped....
Turned out it was Acorn Bits (WTF!!?) inside his TB. Holding his 2ndary TB paltes open slightly. When I had my TB out during the job I cleaned the crap out of it until it was gleaming, so I think we can rule out Acorns!LOL!
Previous to the vacrac removal the idle was holding pretty well around 1300. I knew that was high but it was steady. (Don't fix it if...) Then when I applied HEAVY braking the idle would drop to about 500-600 and studder and choke around there. Then I'd tap the gas and it would go back up and level out...
So new vacuum lines, cleaned intake ducts and TB plus new O2 sensor and RB downpipe and presilencer. What in these item could affect the idle the way it did?
