Hey.
I installed an intake recently. The first time I drove it, the car kept stalling whenever I released the throttle from high rpm's. Now (2 weeks after) the car does not stall anymore, but it still comes close to - especially with the air condition on. I thought this was a leak in the intake installation. However, the check engine light came on over the weekend. When we checked it, it said it was the throttle body sensor. So now I'm wondering - can the throttle body make the car do this? Or is it just a leak in the intake installation? Which one do you'll think it is?

Thanks.

 

You need to reset your car i think. Remove one of the battery terminals and pump the ABS to drain any power from the system. Make sure its totally dead. Leave it for a while. Start the car and drive it around. It should detect the changes and be fine.

 

What year car and model? what brand intake? battery reset should do it, other wise you might have a VAC leak at some point but I dont see how

 

Maybe that idle control screw?

 

the BISS screw that is the word your looking for

 

Yeah, I reset the ECU when I first installed the intake. So I don't think thats the problem.

Its a 98 GST Eclipse Spyder like the signature says. So you'll think this problem is Intake related or just the throttle body going bad independently?

 

nope it is your BOV i bet. are you stock BOV are you venting to the atmosphere or is it dumping into the intake like it should?

 

That was my next point

Yea BISS screw... lol

 

take a pic of the engine also for us. I would check to make sure that the MAF is plugged in to. That would give you issues.

 

No if the MAS is unplugged teh car will not run it might start for about 3-4 seconds and die.


John you must not have read the problem it is def a boost leak or vented BOV
