The problem I have been having is that, after a new motor, Keg stripped, all the original parts were put back on. The Idol has been all over the place. All the vacuum lines are done right, the car right after the new motor was fine, then it did the fast idol/warm up thing all the time going from 1500-2000 when the clutch was in. I took it back in, they adjusted it, and the idol was stuck at 3000 all the time. Took it back in and the readjusted it again and the idol was at 1200 until two nights ago the car refuses to go above 2000 rpms, free reeving it, or when the clutch is engaged (this was on the queens way at 1:00am). TOOK it back in again it seems to be running fine now, but I'm now getting the 3800 heitation, I'm I don't want to get stuck on the queens way again any ideas whats going on with it, The guys who did the transplant are saying its a bad tps?

Anyone in Ottawa have a spare TPS they could part with.

You may also want to check water temp sensor at the back of the t/stat housing

 

Okay what would that do?

 

Did you check your TPS first ? see if its actually out of calibration.

If so , I have one for sale.

 

Ya the TPS is all over the place the Ohms are not consistence and it can't seem to hold its calabration. How much are you asking for the TPS? new or used?

 

For unstable idle issues or if it's stuck high intermittently, check the BAC valve too. Sometimes you'll go through a few TPS sensors and realize it was the BAC valve all along. They're a bit messy to change because you have to disconnect two small coolant hoses.
