Re: Just a random Question???

Yea check for speed sensors on the wheels, its probably one of those. For the SRS light the control module should be under the console, you can just lift the cup holder tray out and you should be able to see it, check and make sure that its plugged up first off and no wire are damaged going to it. Remember that with the SRS light on the air bags WILL NOT deploy. Try pulling the battery cables off for 30 min or so to reset the system.

Re: Just a random Question???

Check the TPS and the IAC on the throttle body. The IAC (idle air control) adjusts how much air comes in at idle based on all the conditions. The TPS (throttle position sensor) see's where the throttle is at and adds fuel when throttle gets opened up. There's ways to check both sensors.

I would personally pull off the throttle body (2 13mm bolts) and clean it with TB cleaner and check the sensors while it's off. The butterfly plate will stick if it's dirty and may be allowing extra air at startup to come in.

Re: Just a random Question???

The only thing that makes a motor rev up is air. So somehow more air is getting into the motor than it should be. This could either be caused by a vac leak or the IAC opening up for some reason. If the map is bad you should have a CEL. Does the car ever idle down or does it stay at 4500 all the time now?

Re: Just a random Question???

Try unpluging the IAC. If the MAP is bad and the ECU is opening the IAC for some reason when you unplug it, it should at least make the idle stable

Re: Just a random Question???

I tried it. Unpluged the iac and tried it and it did the same thing then tried the TP sensor and it did the same thing then unpluged both at same time and tried to crank it and it still did the sae thing. Then tried it with the MAP sensor and it wouldnt crank with or without the TP and IAC plugged or unplugged.

Re: Just a random Question???

Well it needs the TPS and map to run. The IAC just adjust the idle so it doesn't need that. Another thing you can try is to put your hand over the TB and see if the car tries to stall. If there are not leaks in your manifold/vac lines when you cover the TB the car should starve for air. If it doesn't then you have a leak.

Correct. Air should not be entering from anywhere else beside the TB, so if you put your hand over it, you're blocking all air coming in and should stall out the car. If it doesn't, then as Silvr said, you have a leak in in the IM or a vacuum line.
