got my jlt today...

try unhooking your negative terminal on your battery for 20 mins then see if the ecu resets and relearns the new airflow. let it idle for awhile then take it out and drive it slow for a bit before getting on it.

alright i moved the tps nothing happens, if remove the iac nothing happens.if i move the throttle screw nothing happened until i screw the iac back on, it idled to 1500 than to 2500.i shut car off than started back on and it idles at 600 but surges. im disconnect the negative righ now see what happens.

i checked for any broken vacuum hose in case i broke any but i cant find any broken one. i didnt move the spark plug wire it runs fine, it just idles bad. :dunno: maybe my iac is bad???

uhhhh could be, it was NOT doing this thing with the idle before you put on that JLT right?

 

[97vertstang]

no, at least it never idled this bad.

well i could not get it to work right. other boards told me that the turbulence with filter being inside the engine bay with the clutch fan wont work right. so i took it off and the car is idling a lot better, the problem now is i got a sticking throttle body. i dont know if its because i clened it or what but it wont idle below 1200rpm.i can get it to idle below 1200 but when i rev it up it will stick. but it does idle nice , what can id o to fix this sticking problem???

is it sticking from a build up of carbon or something?

 

[97vertstang]

no i cleaned the carbon all up.

 

[97vertstang]

i dont know if its the mechanism in the bottom of the throttle body or the throttle body sticking inside. the iac valve is tripping me out too. if i get the idle to say 600, when i plug it in it will jump to 800. now if i throttle it it will stick at 1500 or so and if i disconnect the iac it will go back to 1000rpm or so.

??? ??? ??? ???........... :dunno: :dunno: :dunno: this has got me. Rycleff might be of some help :-\

 

[97vertstang]

well the thottle body is the one sticking. i sprayed wd 40 in the mechanism and it still stick. so i sprayed in the throttle body and still the same problem, u can see where the throttle body stays a little open. so i put another spring in there to make it back down. its stiff as hell but it goes back down. throttle body shopping time :dunno:

sounds like its definately something to do with the tps

 

[97vertstang]

i cant even adjust it , it will idle too high.

 

[97vertstang]

yeap it was the tps. when i was trying to make the jlt to work i took it off and set it wrong. i installed it right now and set it where it was supposed to be and no more sticking idle.

so you got everything working ok now?

 

[97vertstang]

yeah everythings cool, but the it still doesnt want to idle with the jlt. im going to do a 3g alternator swap and electric fan, than the jlt will work.

 

[scarface]

at least you now know whats wrong and how to fix it
