help with no idle problem please
well i just got it all back together.i have a weird problem though.
i have zero idle,car wont start unless i hold the pedal.it gets stranger,my first attempt at starting it went fine.started up and held the idle for 15 minites.i changed the oil to make sure everything got out and now it wont idle.while i was changing the oil i pulled th passenger valve cover to check the rr's and to make sure everything was good.
i have a bbk TB,egr,evap and smog pump are all deleted from the PCM.i just plugged the evap line with a bolt and stuck it back in the wire loom.
its just a hotcam.when i first started it,it idled fine,the coolant light was on because i had not purged the hoses yet,oil pressure is great,temp seems very low.
160 thermo,fans come on sooner with the tune.
it does not stumble or idle rough,it just wont idle AT ALL,if i press the pedal it will start right up,and i can keep it going by fethering the pedal.i can get the temp up to around 180,let off the pedal and it still just dies.
this is everything i did:
changed plugs and wires
headers and dual exhaust
new intake gaskets
lifters,pushrods,hot cam kit with RR's and springs
extended the o2 for the headers(they have 2 brown wires and could have been mixed up when i put them back togther)
cold air intake
vortech elbow
58mm TB w/ ported manifold
mad28 tune w/ all emissions deleted
i drove the car around and it hauls ***,but at every stop sign it would just die.
i have looked over everything,and all the connections.i cant see anything coming loose and all the vacuum hoses are tight.for now i just have the throttle cable adjusted to hold the flappers open a little.
any thoughts?
