K so i work on the car again yesterday & end up changing the fuel filter cuz it was beyond clogged. Seein how clogged it was i thought that i could solve my problem but of course, it didn't. It would turnover but still die immediately.

We really had no clue what the fuck was goin on & i kept trying to get the car started while my buddy messed around under the hood. After about 15 tries the car starts & im like WTF?, so i ask my buddy and all he did was plug the hole inside the TB and disconnect the TPS. So the car was running, idling at like 2k, puffin black smoke and just sounding ruff since the TPS wasn't connected.

The fucked up part is that the car would start everytime with the TPS unplugged but as soon as its connected again it dies immediately. So of course im lost but i replace the TPS with another one i had from another TB & the same thing happens.

This whole time all it was is that the TPS sensor was messin everything up so something in the wiring isn't right. I really dunno where to begin lookin for what the issue is?

At least the car starts now so we're gettin somewhere, one step at a time...

 

geez man. I thought i initially had wiring issues, but you take the cake. I'd wanna rip out the whole wiring harness and start from scratch lol.

 

I was misinformed then. You're still gonna get though. Don't worry.

 

damn man, thought u checked the TPS already, at least you're getting progress, and have a direction to follow now, good news

 

and yea i really should re-do it all but damn, just thinking about it makes me hate life

 

ECU wiring FTMFL

 

read the wiring voltage? seems like its too low. maybe your ground isn't grounding the way you think?

at some point of time i will be purchasing a harness and working my magic as well.
you should consider it

 

K so i left the car and went to my buddies cottage on sunday and on the way up i get a call from my dad..he said that there was a puddle of oil in the garage and while the car was sitting in the driveway as he cleaned up the oil another puddle showed up when he moved the car back in..

so now this is a whole other pain in my ass..

 

wow, you just seem to catch a break with the damned thing. just get rid of it.

 

Trust me Allan, i feel ur pain. If its not 1 thing its another. For you its the motor, for me, its the law.

I had been pretty much clean from issues for the last few years then bam:

within the last 2 weeks. Now i gotta put off completing my exhaust till this is all taken care of

 

^^ thats why prostitution is bad

 

what are those tickets for?

 

I bet it's a ton of fix-its his headlights are illegal for one IIRC.

 

bad news chris

 

damn allan i feel ur pain. i cant catch a break with my car either. look into the ECU. could be a bad chip. this is similar to my friends issue with his CRX. illl even send u my spare chip if i can find it.

 

sorry to hijack this thread but, whats IIRC?


never mind: it stands for "If I Recall Correctly"

 

or remember, depending on how old you are

 

surprisingly, no fix it tickets. its a random assortment of issues with the police department in PA and NY, and the NY DMV.
