Jedi mind trick, everyone knows that... duh!
On a more serious note I have no idea that's usually a woman thing with hearts and a tiny Smiley face too

I wanna know how to do the backwards "p."

sidepipe87 · Post by **sidepipe87** » Fri May 07, 2010 1:11 am

hmmm. good Question!

FAC3L3SS · Post by **FAC3L3SS** » Fri May 07, 2010 1:15 am

No srsly. I think my TPS is shot.

gtxtreme19 · Post by **gtxtreme19** » Fri May 07, 2010 1:16 am

q... that one really is the Jedi mind trick!

Possibly. I do have a brand new one but they are only 12$ new I dont think it would be worth giving to you after getting it there

FAC3L3SS · Post by **FAC3L3SS** » Fri May 07, 2010 1:18 am

So "q," but no "d?"

gtxtreme19 · Post by **gtxtreme19** » Fri May 07, 2010 1:21 am

Yeah, on eBay they're cheap, but I'd have to go to ricerzone so I don't have to wait. Fitty bones FTL.

To install the TPS, rotate it counter clockwise, past the screw holes, until it slides into place. Then move it clockwise to be sure it is correct. It should want to turn against the clockwise movement. Then you know the spring is good. (From the TPS side, as the throttle opens, it moves CCW. so moving the TPS CW lets you know it is in place properly. If it won't move, it is on the wrong side of the slot. Once you know it is there, just move it back until the screw holes line up, and install the screws.

The IAC on '00's is a stepper motor design. The only way to move it, is by turning the pintle in/out. You should be able to spin it by hand, if I remember correctly. Try spinning it all the way out, and putting it back in. You may need to tun it back in a bit to get the motor to seat all the way, You don't want to force it in with the screws. The PCM drives it by sending voltage pulses of either + or - polarity. It moves about a quarter turn each time. There is no simple way to move it installed with out a driver. You would need to be damn fast at switching power.

The newer IAC's are just spring loaded. So they are going to automatically seat in the closed position. (Unless they are stuck)

^ Good information. I tried part of that last night when I was messing with it, but it was late and dark. Luckily, I work in a little over and hour and it's storming out. Yay for never getting below 2.5k!

I'm still betting on you having it installed wrong, not being faulty.

Why? Because

A. I put mine together wrong, it's easy to do.
B. I doubt it just went bad overnight at the same time you took it apart to clean it. Possible, but installation error is more likely.

And Ryan, I know. Just fucking around.

So hey, totally off-topic, but I thought I'd creep you out a little bit.

I had a dream (nightmare?) last night and you were in it. It was pretty weird, but here's what I remember. You lived in a super tall apartment building, on the 67th floor. So I stop over to visit you with some other people (can't recall who they were) and we ride the elevator up, which is janky as all hell and bouncing/shaking/rattling all over the place. We hop off that POS on your floor and proceed to your room, which is laid out like a hotel room (no kitchen, main and bath only). There are Neon parts all over the place and Chelsea is sitting on the bathroom floor scrubbing car parts inside a plastic trash can. And that's all I can remember...

I told you it was weird.

No wonder his engine is racing. Teh neon wants to get far away from you!

That silly boy Adam, he's always on my mind.

On a side note, I need some parts washed. You busy, Chelsea?

wait... that ALL sounds pretty accurate actually!

No, she's not free Chris. She's at my house. Scrubbing my.. parts.

hul kogan · Post by **hul kogan** » Fri May 07, 2010 1:33 pm

Maybe this actually happened last night when I was 'sleeping'...?!

Well, send her over when you're...err, I mean...she's done.

glasswars wrote:Check the hose going from the valve cover to the manifold.. sounds like it's that one. I remember I took it off one day to clean and forgot to put it back in, turned the car on, and the RPM's shot up to 4k like you said..

i have done the same thing lol

FAC3L3SS · Post by **FAC3L3SS** » Fri May 07, 2010 7:55 pm

Well then, before I address the Chelsea issues, let me say this:

I twisted the TPS super hard when I was cleaning it, and it lost all it's "rebound" ability. Today, after work I grabbed a new one, and all is good. Lame, I know. The car runs like a champ meow. Just gotta get my gauges / needles figured out

Now, to address you Chelsea lovers. I've got a shed FULL of dirty parts. There is only one way they'll ever get clean, and I can tell you who ISN'T doing it

Either way, you fellas can keep on dreamin'...er....having nightmares

You're welcome.

FAC3L3SS · Post by **FAC3L3SS** » Sat May 08, 2010 10:03 am

Thanks. I never considered it being the TPS until I did the whole "CCW" thing and it had no rebound. New one lined up right, turned, bolted in, and WAMMO 900 RPM idle.

heydockyle · Post by **heydockyle** » Sat May 08, 2010 10:05 am

I knew it was the TPS. I just didn't know if you had it in wrong or you broke it lol.

FAC3L3SS · Post by **FAC3L3SS** » Sat May 08, 2010 10:07 am

I was hoping it was just wrong. Then I looked at it and read another thread of the same idle crap. Then tried what Bill said and I knew i was shot. At least now I know all my vac lines are good and tight.
