Just to keep potential traders / buyers 100% in the loop: New TPS installed just now. Things were 75% better. No idle surges. Was able to goose the pedal right after starting it and it responded tons better. Still some hesitation now though after it ran for a minute or so. Maybe there is a learning period or something like that when you replace the TPS? EDIT - Out to do this now. Clear the computer's idle memory by disconnecting the battery for 20+ minutes. -Disconnect the Idle Air Bypass solenoid -Reconnect battery -Start engine and set idle speed to desired RPM with idle screw on throttle body -Turn off engine and reconnect the air bypass solenoid -Set TPS voltage between 0.90 - 0.95 volts with a digital volt meter -Start engine and let it idle for 2 minutes with no accessories on. -Turn off engine for two minutes -Start engine again and run for 2 minutes with every accessory turned on. -Turn engine off again. And found this: 10 Pin Connector modification: 1. Take the 10 pin connectors apart (salt and pepper shakers). 2. use a pick like tool to spread the male terminals open more so they make better contact. In the center of each male terminal there is a small seam and seams down the sides of the terminal which allows you to spread them open. 3. Apply some dielectric grease to the terminals 4. Plug the connectors back in.

Thanks. I don't know; I haven't gotten out of my driveway yet. Some things I forgot to add: I did a compression test on it (and this was BONE cold with no oil squirted in the cylinders) - 1 120 2 122 3 114 4 115 5 124 6 115 7 124 8 129 It has an aftermarket flexplate. Car has 2.92 rear. It's set to something close to 13lbs now. I've heard fairy tales of it being turned up well North of that boost in the past though. I don't actually know current dyno numbers with the current turbo and other changes. Car made 487rwhp 535rwtq on the old smaller turbo @ 11.x lbs.

... trying to watch it, Youtube is being a bitch,

Seen in person - good looking car. GLWS.

Sold.

Yep, I actually go weeks/months between even remembering I own it. Thought about parting out more than once, but I don't have time to handle 15 different sales of the aftermarket stuff.

Sorry man, not interested in anything like that. Thanks for the try.

Bump for a rainy, messy, gray Saturday.

From the graveyard...

Bump. Never gets ridden, no reason to keep it.

So... Unbolted the TPS again, realigned and rebolted. Removed IAC, cleaned with TB cleaner, reinstalled. Checked all vacuum lines a third time. Started it up, idled out into driveway, sitting in place shifted between N, R, and 1 repeatedly, revved to all different RPMs while in gear and not. Vacuum showed 13-20 depending on engine speed and held steady when engine speed was constant. Stumped on brakes hard a couple times to rule out bad booster. Car does have a very noticeable stumble while tapping the throttle from an idle. Falls on its face when you floor it. Cap and rotor look shitty, will clean them up. Plugs look good, same for wires. Car idles high, IMO, about 1000-1250, but did not experience WOT issue. Think the TPS could cause the stumble, high idle, etc? Thanks.

I think the school's approach was a great idea. You know, as long as mouth gags and fucksaws weren't involved.

When I get time, I'll run your IP and figure out which current CR dumbass you are.

This man speaks the truth.

Yep, except for her, probably a Grand Prix or GT. People with light right feet will see 30+ mpg and you can get a gazillion options on them for cheap.

Two ads within minutes, neither with prices.

Ha, ok. Please at least post a price. Thanks.

Guys, follow the damn rules and stop shitting in this thread. Negotiate thru PMs.

Wonder how much they owe the KKK? I kid. I kid. On an unrelated note, I decided to try the new Marcos Pizza Buffet today for lunch on Steltzer. Me, a white couple in their late 50's, 4 black guys from 17-25ish, 3 black women 45-50ish. Every time I looked around, I was being glared out. The youngest guy went SUPER SLOWWWwwww ahead of me trying to prove some kind of point. As I was leaving, the next-to-youngest looking guy did a clearing the throat noise, then half stepped in front of me and declared, "I am a full grown nig." <--- verbatim, not me shortening a word. Almost a Somalia accent. Out of pure reaction, I said, "congratulations?". Any idea what the flying fuck that was about?

You want to narrow down "Central Ohio"? You know, to like 100 of fewer districts?
