problem with 4efte inlet fitted to n/a

[dai_ep82]

Hi ive recently fitted a 4efte inlet mani to my n/a 4efe. Im using the standard 4e throttle body. Problem im getting is that it either revs very high or they fluctuate up and down. I unplugged the white plug out of the sensor on bottom of throttle body and it now idles fine. Obviously this is not right as my engine management light has come on but has anyone got any ideas on what the problem could be. Any help would be great cheers?

My guess is it's a vacuum leak.

When using a FE throttle body with an FTE inlet it creates a gap at the back of the throttle body. This is because the mounting face of the FTE inlet is different to the FE one.

You can get a plate made up to the shape of the FE inlet to sit between the FTE inlet and FE throttle body.

Ah right I didn't know that, cheers for the reply. How hard is it to get the fte throttle body to work on it instead then?

I'm not sure to be honest. The FTE throttle body has a different throttle position sensor and cold idle/idle up system.

Mine went on a treat, no issues whatsoever with idle....did you move the throttle cable bracket over? Make sure the throttle is fully closed and not being held open by the throttle cable? throttle body gasket ok? Block off all the un-needed ports on the mani? Inc idle control valve?

[dai_ep82]

I've now put the standard inlet back on and I'm getting the same prob, idling up and down. When I unplug what I think is idle control valve it idles normal
