Swapping Throttle Bodies
#1
so I took off my FC 65mm TB today....and installed my stock one.....
fired her up and the car runs like sh!t for a min and the shuts off.........it sounds like its running on 2 cylinders....thats how rough it is......
now i disconected the battery, tried different position TPS.....same thing

wtf?

could i just screw up the TPS by swapping them out? if i did....how much are TPS's?

i need this car running for monday morning :o

Nick, did you reset the ecu ? I think that you need to clear the ecu since it has now adjusted its fuel maps and idle for running with a larger throttle body I would leave the battery disconnected overnight and such and try going for a drive the next morning with the ecu reset .... Im sure you've already done that though ...

Tps's can be screwed up just by touching them funny ... very finnicky stuff ....

Nick, reset your ECU by disconnecting the battery for an hour or so first. A TPS is $75.00 for a manual transmission, $400.00 for an automatic.

hey nik... you don't have to wait that long... just disconnet the battery and keep on stepping (press, release, press, release....) on the brake paddle ... around 5 to 10 times... this will reset your ecu.

as for the tps, did you install it upside down??
