Odd idle now
Since I have installed my new larger CAI. My car acts like its going to stall out. I reset the computer, but this hasn't helped. I check all the connections and they are still on.
Could this odd very low idle be the cause of so much more air being allowed in? |
it's very possible. it could also be that you have a vacuum leak somewhere. make sure everything around your sensors is tight and leak-free. also, the "bigger is better" thing has been discussed many times before, i suggest you do a search about intake sizes before jesse finds this and busts his bling bling on you about intake sizes :p

Thanks for the warning:D

Damn Nick...just because you are in TEXAS does NOT mean EVERYTHING has to be bigger ya know! lol

eak
Sounds like a sensor to me.
Not feeling the vacume it should. |

But i put it back and its all better. |
here, since i know you're all a bunch of lazy fooks. :p i was bored and found this anyway... took me all of maybe three seconds.

I fixed the stumbled, by cleaning up the terminals, back to nice shiny new.
Now I have added twin scoops and 4" ducting reduced to 3" up to the air box and I must say it runs much better I have decreased almost 2 full seconds off my Quarter mile time. I just ran a 16.04, when before I ran a 17.88. It runs so good, I can get it to chirp in second now! I am amazed for 2.0. |
I just ran a 16.04, when before I ran a 17.88. It runs so good, I can get it to chirp in second now! I am amazed for 2.0. But 16.04 is good for a near stock MP3! It'll be interesting once I get my car back from Injen later this week. They are installing a prototype CAI, though I don't know if I'll be able to tell any difference in performance... -Jerry |
I don't know much about your year of car or the engine. You may have more HP and less weight, than the MP3. Catching third is quite a feat in stock engine " I think it is" well done!
But I got that 16.04 on a full tank of gas. I assume I could have hit a high 15, if I was almost empty and took out all my son's toys and baby seat and all the damn diapers and wipies. I also forgot about the spare and jack. What else could I have removed? Sub box and back seats I guess. Fuck it and the passenger seat. Make the wife sit on the floor and strap my son on the roof " Hey what can I say. Its my wifes car":D |
Make the wife sit on the floor and strap my son on the roof I have a '99 ES with no engine mods at all. But, it is true that the '99s weigh less. However, the 1.8L only puts out 120hp (California emissions) and 120lb-ft torque. But, it also revs up quicker (shorter stroke) and I was shifting just before redline and I never take my foot totally out of the throttle while shifting in races. So, when I dropped the clutch in third, the engine was spinning about 6,300rpm! -Jerry |
