ok i started my car today!!! w00t w00t!! i'm so excited.. till it went to idle... i dont know if it were cold and hasnt ran in a while but it was hunting aroung 500-700 RPM rand then it got lower and lower then before it stalled i killed it...scould this be a bad side effect of a 4" short ram intake??

 

turbo or non turbo

 

did you try resetting the ECU? unplug the battery for about 15-20 minutes. plug it back up, start the car, and let it idle for about 10 minutes.

 

its a 96 non turbo spyder.. and i just put in a brand new battery so iunno if that would have reset the ecu?

 

Did you try restarting it? maybe its just bad gas?

 

I would bet becuase it has not been started in some time try running a tank through it.

 

alright i'll try that and i did unplugg the battery for a while.. it wont stall out it will just go down to 100 RPM...i'll try running this tank through then goingto fill it up

 

man i didnt think about it but go to autozone or napa any automotive shop and have a altinator voltage jump test done. will tell if there is a bad alt without removing it my cuz had same issue bad alt.

 

make sure your MAF isnt falling off.... sometimes if the clamps ar not tight it will slide enough to cause that.... and was your intake a name brand or not? check your TB flange if it is no name because the no name intakes put stress on the TB flange in the 4G64 motors and they can crack and eventualy break off tehn you need a new intake manifold and intake system. those are words from experience it happened to me twice and then I sold the car and it happeded 3 more times with the new owner

 

actually its wierd cause i started it up to show it to a friend....AND IT WAS PERFECT!! wtf perfect idle at 800 rpm... i was kinda agitated.. so now, how do i put a window backm on track (i can hear the motor going but the window wont more.. or it will just not fast)
