starletezy Posted June 16, 2016 Author Share Posted June 16, 2016 Update on this issue when I Rev abou 2k it hiccups and hunts when I removed the Tps plug it stopped could it be the Tps is gone ? Or something else to look into? Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 tps disconnected will couse idling dificulties when i remove my tps plug she stalls ( no icv or wax !! ) stick your finger in the hole of the tb and set your desired rpm if its steady then you know you found the culprit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletezy Posted June 16, 2016 Author Share Posted June 16, 2016 Abit weird it becomes more responsive and the idle is better when removed. Will give that ago what shall I adjust the tps ? And what part of the tb appreciate your help Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 when you take the intercooler pipe of the tb and look in the tb ( flap closed ) you will see just before the flap a hole at the bottom thats the feed to the wax valve and icv now to figure out if its wax or icv you bolt off the icv clamp the vacuim hose going to it with a plyers and finger over the hole on the mani if it now idles fine its the icv if not then its the wax ( filler job ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
