sorry its a long story...

Well to start, last week my car had a pulsing idle b/w 1200-1400, that started after I had the uim off and put it back on. So, I got some suggestions on stuff to try to fix it. The day that I was gonna try them, it wasn't pulsing nearly as bad. When I got back from school, I went back out to move the car into the shade so I could work on it, and it was flooded. I did the egi fuse trick and got it started but it idled at like 600
(tps voltage showed about .59, and safc showed 0% throttle) and would barely stay running. So I readjusted the tps after letting it warm up. It seemed ok, then the idle rose to about 1100 after driving it for a bit, so I adjusted the tps once agian thinking that I may not have let it completely warm up. Since then I have had no problem with the pulsing idle, but the tps keeps getting out of whack (every time I checked it going to school in the morning it would be at like 1.4 volts, and on the safc, it showed at about 17% throttle, and would gradually lower to about 10% throttle and 1.2 volts on the tps after driving it for a while). It started to flood every time I shut the car off too. For a while, pulling the egi fuse worked, but friday I could barely get it started and once it did, it didn't want to hold ide for a while. Driving it home, the idle once again rose to 1100 and then when I was almost home, I put the clutch in, and it died on me. I tried to restart it but it was flooded like mad. I towed it home and dropped it into second to get it running and it started fine and held idle at 1100. So I shut it off and tried to restart it, and it was flooded again. So yesterday, I tried the atf trick to unflood it and try and restore some compression that I may have lost. This morning I started it after letting the atf sit in there overnight. It ran pretty good and still had a kinda high idle. So I took it for a spin to burn off the atf, and it seemed to hold idle ok. Then I put the clutch in once and it just died again. I think its flooded again and the egi fuse hasn't worked yet. I checked the tps and it showed freakin .59 volts and 0% throttle again!!! I was wondering if this all could have just been caused by a pos tps, or maybe a sticky throttle cable or valves??? Could it be something else? If you actually took the time to read this, I thank you a great deal and I would really appreciate any input on this.

TIA,
Aaron

Assuming every thing is in place and not ripped off............usually a tps that is set right will read high in the morning when the car is cold. A lot depends on the air temp. I see generally around 1.7- 1.9 when its cold and as the car warms up the figure comes down until its in the general 1volt range plus or minus 0.05 Maybe something is sticking in the throttle linkage.......but it is odd that once the car is warm and the tps has been set to around 1volt, that the next morning the reading is lower than 1 volt. Goes against anything I've seen on my cars. *** backwards or normal.

Next time you set the tps when the car is fully HOT, take the time to put a dab of RTV on the adjustment screw. Maybe its backing off.

I will definately try that, it does seem a little too loose as it is now. Now I gotta go try and tow-start it so I can get it off of the damn side of the road...

Thanks

Any ideas as to why it would be dying and flooding???

please help!!! I got her home and redlined it a few times to get rid of all of the atf in there, but it didn't want to hold idle and I had to keep on the gas to keep it running. I let it die after most of the smoking had stopped and now it won't start again. I'm not sure if it got flooded again or what. What would cause it to flood so much and any suggestions on why it wouldn't hold idle? I got some new plugs to put in, so I'll try that next.

any more input on it??? It seems to start right up when I tow-start it, but I just can't get it started any other accept for when I used the ATF. Maybe I will try and change the primary injectors and see if that does anything.
