remember this video i posted awhile ago of a weird noise
http://video.freevideoblog.com/searc...C2A855AF15.htm
well i think its from the timing belt, and it suspect that it was put on wrong, and i think my timing is now messed up from that, because it keeps spiking rpms when it is on and sometimes dies when its idling. its kinda almost like the gears keep slipping out and the rpms shoot up when im driving sometimes, but its done it while im P so im ruling out the transmission
my uncle who did the tune-up and timing belt, says my car is overheating from my ebay intake im starting to think he doesnt know jack shit because he says i need to plug in 4 more hoses into my intake....and he put in the wrong altenator into my cl and it was giving off to much watts, and he just replaced it with a new one. and i think he may have put the timing belt on backwards

 

What a dud...

 

Your uncle is full of there are only 2 vaccuum lines for the intake, and it def sounds like your timing is off, or your tps might be screwed up if it's stalling

 

the best part about it is my parents believe him that its my fault the car is doing this because of the intake..........all of it is because of the intake because he works in a garage.

 

whats tps?

 

If they aren't ASE certified then they wouldn't go near my engine.

 

transaction processing system, its a type of report ran in the office

 

R you even on the same topic as us.

 

office space


tps is throttle position sensor

 

office space?

 

 

hmm... Yeah...

 

maybe my tps went bad?
could it have been from intake?

 

would it throw a tps code if it is bad?

 

yes it would
when mine went, the car wouldnt start at all
if the tps is faulty your rpm could surge or bogg down

i would check the timing on the car
if thats correct then your bottom end is shot
at least thats what it sounds like

 

yeah the one morning mine didnt start at all, then i put it in nuetral and let it roll acouple inches and tried again and i got it started, but as soon as i put it in d4 it died, i put it in d3 it died, so i tried 1 and it died. than it was driveable after acouple hours but it would still stall and my rpms keep spiking

 

like i said
make sure your timing is ok
then look into the TPS
curious. what code are your throwing?

 

idk i never asked my uncle, he ran the codes while my dad was with him, all they told me was the insuficient air cel from the intake, i know theres more than just that because i've had the cel on before i put on the intake

 

put on the stock airbox and see what comes up.

 

and im also idling very low

 

right now im considering it being 3 things
either bad timing
bad tps
or its the intake air control valve

 

hopefully i can get this resolved by next week so i can get rims by next month
photoshopped onto my cl-

 

what rims are those? explain..

 

the rims look nice, but your sidewalk looks confused on which way to go.

 

speedy lite-5
yeah the sidewalk coming towards you is coming to my front door, the other way leads to the garage

 

i see, i see...

but those rims look nice, hurry it up

btw, that p/s makes those tires look like extreme rubber bands yo

 

haha yeah, im def gettin 40 profile so i dont have rubber bands

 

update on shitty news, it started acting up again today
and i got the car back from my uncle yesterday, and all of a sudden now i hear my intake when its idling.....i only use to hear it when i was driving and accelerating

 

Intake idle

that sound again

worst start up ever

harsh start,low idle, and the RPM spiking im talking about

 

nice lawn.

If i recall correctly, theres a vaccum line connected to the resonator below. make sure you caped that off with a golf tee or something. Check what code your throwing by yourself. Read the noob file and it will tell you how. I totally think your uncle is bullshitting. Pull the code your self with a thin wire and get back to us.

 

Ok, just saw this went to two pages. Is this a Cold Air intake, that sound could be from the CAIntake pipe hitting that hole that the pipe goes through near your fender.

 

I just moved, theres some grass growing now.
i dont really know how to pull the codes, i might take it to autozone later for them to pull up the codes

 

post of some pics of the engine bay.

 

its a SRI, its coming from the engine, may be the small block or the timing belt

 

ok lemme go take some pics of engine bay real quick

 

no no no no, come back. do this:

a. Find the Data Link Connector (DLC) located under the instrument panel in the driver's side. It is bolted to the kick panel and is gray in color on the 1998 models.
b. Jump terminals 8 and 13 by connecting them with a wire/cable.

/----------------------------------- \
DATA LINK CONNECTOR (DLC)
c. Turn the ignition key to ON and observe the "CHECK ENGINE" light. It will flash the trouble codes. For example: 2
long flashes, pause and then 3 short flashes = 23 = P0325 = Knock sensor circuit fault (4 cyl only).
One short flash = 1. One long flash = 10. If there are no trouble codes, the light will not flash.

The following codes will not flash since they require a code scanner:

P1705,06,38,39,53,68,73,91-Automatic transaxle failure

HOW TO CLEAR TROUBLE CODES (after you fix the problem)
a. Remove ignition key
b. Locate fuse panel on passenger's side
c. Remove fuse no. 13 10 seconds, and then place it back in.

 

ok ill try that

 

is the fuse panel on the passanger side? because i found mine on the driver side next to the foot rest, and im not getting any codes to show up

 

and im suppose to connect pin 8 and 13 together on the one behind the ash tray right?

 

the fuse panel they are talkn about in that instructions is under the hood.
