FD not running right (video)
hey i just installed my rebuilt motor with streetport and i started up the fd the other day and it idles like this:
http://media.putfile.com/FD_idle When i put everything back together and started it, the power fc commander is not showing a reading for the intake air temp. could that cause the problem? some of my friends say it sounds like one of the spark plugs are missing maybe? it kinda sounds like its burping or something, hard to explain. then engine is really shaky when it does it. thanks, Craig |
most likely your sensor is disconnected
|
the sensor is not disconnected, i unpluged it and pluged it back in and it cliped right in. i have a new one comming on thursday from malloy mazda. i'm just trying to figure out if something else could be causing this problem.
thanks |
all the other sensors correct? what rpm is it idling at?
|
i had it set to idle at 1800rpm for now just because its a fresh rebuild. and yes, all my other sensors are fine
|
Sounds like a streetport idling to me. Mine misses intermittantly at idle, too.

It doesnt sound like anything is wrong to me, lower the idle to what it should be and let it warm up FULLY, and see how it idles, if its still a little jumpy you can mess with the fuel at idle with your power fc to make it idle smoother. And ill repeat this again, make sure its warmed up.
|
definately...i think any streetport rotary will sound like that when its cold and at 1800. If it was at 800 it would sound a lot calmer
|
Yah that sounds like my car at 1800. Its missing from the streetport, sounds good!
|
thats normal...just lower the idle...after the break in tune it, you will be pleased!
|
Sounds normal. My car idles like that except not that high.

i never removed the sensors from their spots under the uim and on the water pump housing thing. does anyone know where on the back of the ecu the wire comes in from the air intake temp sensor so i can check it? thanks |
sounds good to me...drop your idle down to 1200RPM or break in period though.
