Stalls on acceleration
Hey, need some help please. 91 1.8l protege, with RX7 MAF, bosch platnum plus 4, new TPS, adjusted correctly, adjusted oxygen sensor through MAF. When I open up my idle screw to get maximum air into the motor, the car wants to stall when I hit the gas. It is obvious to me that the rush of air is stalling the car because when I put the screw in the problem corrects itself. my question is, what do I do next? Is it because it needs more fuel, ,more spark, MSD?, or a header and exhaust. I know all of these would great but I cannot afford all of this right now. Also is there a way to plug my ECU into my laptop to see what it is doing?

hey this may sound dumb but check to see if you have a ground strap going from the radiator support to the valve cover some times an un proper ground can cause this symptom
|
my car does not have one, is it suppose to?
|
It should mine was doing this right after my swap and I realized that I didn't put that ground back on. once I fixed that it stoped stalling. make sure that it is a good size wire.
|
I put on one on, it is about a 8 guage, what's the deal with these grounding strap kits I see, and also where do I get an adj fuel pressure regulator
|
unless you are boosted i dont think you will need an adj FPR. our cars naturally run rich.
|
^^^ thanks... I was wondering why my car always seemed to be running rich.... now I know it's common.
|
you can get a fuel pressure regulator on nopi.com. and did that ground strap work????
|
Yes it did, you guys are great, ,still dreading that oil pump though.
