Need Help w/ idle problem
Hello everyone, I need some help with a little problem with the car. From a stop whenever I blip the throttle, or inch the car forward (basically blipping the throttle for a sec), my idle begins to stumble, and sometimes the car just stalls altogether. I can save it from stalling by turning on the fans (1-2-3 or 4 settings) with the AC button in the on position (but my AC system has been totally removed).
My car has a new engine, the TPS is also new... no grounding mods at all.
Does it seems like it's the grounding or do I just need to play with the idle screw? Or is it something else?
Thanks in advance.

how fast is your idle? also, you have a manual car correct?
go to homedepot and buy some wire and ground that engine already! If you can't do this, you should not be working/playing with cars!

car is manual, idle is always under 1k even with the fan on. It does fluctuate, but usually around 6-800.
I'm planning on doing the grounding soon hehe.

Do you see some of the same behavior when pulling up to a stop sign or light? When the engine stumbles, but doesn't completely stall, does the engine then recover and idle normally? If this sounds like your car, then may have a failing dashpot.
