Check you plugs, what color are they. Black, tanish?

LittleGSEclipse · #18 04-21-2004, 03:19 PM

Plugs are more on the blackish side.

Whats that mean?

Import2nr99 · #19 04-21-2004, 04:20 PM

might want to change them. especially if you're getting close to 60K or 120K. also if you've had bad gas recently. or just for shits and giggles. you could be having problems with that. might as well change the wires too. OEM for both or NGK. Good luck

ashah000 · #20 04-21-2004, 04:28 PM

Yea when is the last time you changed them?
You might be running rich. Which brings back the o2, I still would check that. I have seen bad o2's and NO CEL, including my car

Ok guys keep the comments coming your giving me good ideas....

Ok I have one question...I have no idea what this sensor is it is located on the throttle body below the TPS sensor. I have 2 of these sensors, one from the original engine and one from the 98 engine....I noticed that if I leave the one from the 95 engine in the idle still is rough and still shakes when in drive and at a stop light. But If i put the one from the 98 engine the idle stays high as hell in park but then when I put the car in drive it drops to a grand.

Could that sensor be bad? If so what is it called so I can replace it. Could it be the TPS sensor? I dont know if the TPS sensor is the bad one because the sensor under the TPS seems to be the one giving me my problem.

Also could it be the O2 sensor? I just need to know what you guys think it is and I will go buy the part.

Oh and the Plugs are new and the wires are new as well. The plugs are really black just have a light black tint on them, nothing that would cause me to worry.

Also I wanted to point out that my car is really swallowing some gas.Gas doesnt seem to last me for shyt.

How much gas? Like what are you getting for mpg

LittleGSEclipse · #23 04-22-2004, 08:14 AM

I really havent been driving the car enough to get a MPG reading. I wouldnt say that there is a leak or anything like that but I know I am burning gas quicker then I should be.

Could that be because, the Idle problems? o2 problems?

ashah000 · #24 04-22-2004, 08:25 AM

Well if the o2 is going bad, and it went to the backup fuel curve you would burn more gas. Also, if the idle is crazy like at 2500+ or that high it would burn more gas also.
Put the car in neutral and see what happens. About the idle and all.

Also it is always a possibility that it's the TPS

LittleGSEclipse · #25 04-22-2004, 09:19 AM

Ok,

Also could is be the idle air control valve sensor?I stated earlier that I had 2 of them. 1 made the car idle too low and the other made the car idle too high. Could it be that both of them are bad? Of maybe might have gotten damaged in the swapping of the 2 engines?

Ok So what should I do?

LittleGSEclipse · #26 04-22-2004, 10:41 AM

Anyone have any Ideas?

LOL sorry just trying to get back to the top of the list.....

LittleGSEclipse · #27 04-27-2004, 11:50 AM

Ok Guys I found out that one of my problems were that the vacuum line going to the fuel pressure regulator wasnt plugged in.

But I am still having a problem here. The problem is this....

Once the car warms up the car sounds like their is an idle problem and you can see the engine move up and down. Its not really bad but it stays constant when the engine is warm. But if you look at the rpm's they are normal and the needle is not moving.

Once the car is moving and I come to a stop the car kinda lunges forward a bit. Not very badly but it still does it. It almost feels like th brakes arent working properly. But I just changed the rotors (brembo cross-drilled) and it also has new pads (EBC greenstuffs) So I dont think it has to do with the brake system. But the car also hops alittle if I let off the brakes when the car is in drive after I stop...

Well thats all my problems. LOL I Know I know I should just put the car out of its misery but it seems to me like its minor problems that I am over looking. I just put the new engine in it and its got less then 58k on it.

OH yea... whats the vehicle speed control unit or solenoid?
Is this for the cruise control?

THANKS FOR ANY HELP YOU GUYS CAN GIVE ME.

Hey guys I have an update. I took my car to a mechanic yesterday. He told me that it seems as if the timing belt is off a tooth or two.Its a new belt so when it was installed it must have been put on slightly wrong. Would that make my car act funny? Kinda like its got a miss?

Also how hard is it to change the air bag? I purchased another airbag because the car that I purchased was in an accident and the air bag cover was peeling up really bad.

Thanks Guys
