Idle retardation
Ok so basically im tired of this fucking rx7 being an ass i cant figure it out, jeff cant figure it out, landon cant figure it out so the first person that can figure out why i cannot set my idle to the right setting without the car acting retarded i will literally pay you yes PAY YOU for whatever i think its worth who knows maybe like $150 i dont care im tired of this stupid piece of shit. SO here is the details car was an automatic that was switched to 5-speed ever since the swap the idle cannot be set to the proper setting. In order to get my car to idle at the right rpm i have to tighten the TPS screw ALL THE WAY DOWN but then when it is set as such the throttle is all jacked up if i barely touch the peddle it will jump right up to 2k and hold there and the car will kinda shake around a bit and i push some more it jumps from 2 to 3k and shakes around and so on and on and on when it comes back down to idle it will rest at around 800 and then ever so often will start droping down then up then down then up. NOW if i loosen the TPS pretty much ALL THE WAY OUT the car will run normal but the idle will be between 1500-2000 and at some points it will do the same as the low idle it will start to drop down and up down and up.
i have came to a couple conclusions myself being
1. I need a manual ecu cause the auto is still in it, but everyone including jeff at maztech says it will not make a difference so you tell me.
2.TPS is bad, but myself and landon and jeff have set my tps and it works as it should.
3. There is a vacuum leak somewhere and i have no idea where cause i cannot hear one.
4. The car is just fucking stupid <<< im going with this one
5. The thermowax or w/e its called is jacked up. have not tested this one yet but i have had 1 person suggest it.
6. Fuel issue maybe?
7. maybe its time for a Haltech or Microtech ecu and just get rid of all the shit that runs the idle now.
So if you have any clues as to why this is happening or would like to come by and take your shot at trying to fix it and get paid some cash too be my fucking guest cause im about to burn the mother fucker to the ground.
