Weak startup
Hey guys, I just got a new stereo deck installed in my car, and ever since then, my car has been starting up really weak. I'll try to crank it, and when I let off the key, it sputters like it's going to start, but then it really doesn't. I'll try it a second time, and it starts right up. Sometimes it does start the first time I try to crank it, but it's a really weak start, like the engine does not come roaring to life. For that matter, it doesn't come roaring to life when I try it for the second time and it starts up. Also, When it does start up, it idles really crappy, like around 500rpm, but then I'll tap the gas, it goes up to about 2500 and just stays there for like the rest of the day when I'm driving. I'm really perplexed about all of this. Also, I tried adjusting my TPS with an ohmmeter, and no matter what I set it on, or how I hook up the needles, when I try to tune it, the ohmmeter stays at like 2k. Grrr. Car problems. Please help and suggest anything. Thanks so much.
