Sharingan, no I didn't test them but they came on the S5 motor and they look like S5 ones. I'm pretty sure the S4's are a different color.

I messed with the TPS today. Didn't have a multimeter but I set it to 1k yesterday and then tuned it out one turn and it ran way better. Almost perfect. I drove it around the neighborhood and it ran great. Then I opened it up through first and second and when I started driving normal again it was stumbling some again. By the time I got home it was running pretty good again.

Then it sat at my friends for a few hours and got cold. When I started it up to drive it back home it was stumbling terrible again, every time I shifted, let off the gas and got back on it, or even when I was holding a constant speed below like 2500rpm. So it still running a lot better when it's hot, granted I don't have any of the cold start stuff hooked up but from what I hear other people don't have any problems except having to help it idle until it warms up.

Thanks for the help guys I think It's getting closer. It's been like 6 months though and I'm so sick of it running like shit.

Also, I think I tested it on the green wire and the black wire(maybe it was brown) That's how it said to do it on fc3spro.

Go to the FSM to check out the TPS as shown in the jpg attached.

Do that. then check A to C in the attached jpg. Its results should be just the opposite of when you checkd A to B.

The output of a properly set TPS results in the TPS outputting a signal of approx 1vdc (See your FSM, Fuel and Emisisions section, sub section CONTROL UNIT for the TPS input on pin 2G {approx 1vdc with hot engine}.

You can check the output of the TPS with a digital meter backprobing the green/red wire of the connector that connects to the TPS ...connector. The engine must be HOT to do this so the water thermowax/fast idle cam etc are in their proper positons. Or backprobe the ECU pin 2G at the ECU for 1vdc with a hot engine either idling or just key ON and fully hot. Frankly I idle my car fully hot doiing this (prior to owning a RTEK 2.1.).

Using a non turbo boost/pressure sensor with a turboII ECU makes for a crummy idle. Same can be said to some extent using a non turbo afm on a turbo engine/ECU.

Thanks for all the info Hailers. I'll check the TPS again next time I'm at my friends house who has it and make sure I do the way you said.

So I set the TPS and it didn't really help. Ended up taking the TB apart and messing with a bunch of shit. I noticed that when I hit the gas it seems to clear up once the secondary throttle plates open up.( Think that's what they're called, the 2 on top) So I adjusted the stop so that they are open a little more at idle. I also adjusted the idle screw on the bottom since it was really far out.

I put it back together and the car ran almost perfect. I turned the TPS out 2 turns and it ran great, only problem was it idled high and was surging. I figured it was because the secondary throttle plates were open to much so I adjusted the screw so they were shut a little more. Then when I put it back together it ran like dog shit. Tried putting it back how I had it and still ran like shit.

I ended up getting it to idle pretty good but sometimes it's right at 800, sometimes it's like 1300? I got it running pretty good again, but the TPS is 3 turns out from stock, which would make it lean? It also only runs good when it's hot. I think part of my problem is I don't have a thermostat so it's never at the same temp so it only runs good at a certain temp.

So anyway, does anybody have any ideas on what I should try next? This is getting so old.
