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

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.

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
