thanks I do plan to do some stuff to the head I just have to keep in mind my budget

hey man great job so far I hope my build has as many updates as yours I feel your pain with the paint coming off with the side molding same thing happened with my 03 R/T on the passenger side. also congrats on the new neon lover

sorry when you posted about removing the tps i thought you meant the whole sensor but i guess it could possibly be corroded/ loose electrical wiring

the one on top is your intake air control (IAC) and the one on the side is your Throttle position sensor (TPS). i think your issue is when you installed the TPS you didn't install correctly when installing the TPS you have to line it up with it turned slightly counter clockwise and then rotate it cl...

at any point have you removed and replaced your throttle position sensor?

what mods do you have?

lol sorry had to do it.

damn man this log is awesome cant wait for more post. need to post some videos of your races.

I personally really like the black lips and side skirts all the way around it ties your head light and tails in nicely I would just paint them all a matching black.

P.S. great build so far.

some ppl also put in 3 for drag racing to help prevent early shifts

what!!! where was this guy when i had my 03 R/T could have used him with my 60mm TB causing limp mode

my bad

great find. will be watching for more progress

nice

+1 for the green

just be careful with ebay parts i bought a "stock cat" off ebay not too long ago and it was 1/4" in diameter too small and 4" too long

NEED PICS

also if you live in a state that doesnt require emmisions check you could go catless
