cold it wont idle at all really, warm it idles around ~1200rpm.

this video is actually the best it's idled since i finished the swap... i have a nasty exhaust leak that i'm not going to fix. i'm going to install the turbo manifold as soon as i get it running right.



after i goosed the throttle the idle hung around 2500 rpm for about 20 seconds. then i ran out of room on the memory card on the camera...

any ideas why it's idling so bad?

 

In for coolant reroute rubber hose melt-down.

 

lol thats temporary as well. i couldnt take the route i wanted with all the stock intake piping and airbox in the way.

 

What ECU are you using?

If it's a megasquirt you'll find plenty of help with your idle in the Tuning section.

 

Stock ecu

 

more information on what you did to it before you put it in?

 

The motor was rebuilt with forged rods. All the sensors and wiring are from my 1.6 that ran fine...

 

I'm going to say a vacuum leak somewhere.

 

like he said maybe even injector o ring.

 

I had a BAD leak at one of the injectors the first time I started the car. I replaced all 4 orings then...


Come to think of it, I believe it idled before I did that....

 

 

 

too bad my car doesn't run on lulz
