Its had it since i got the car no cats...im going to try to take it toget scanned but i cant even move it with the rpms jumping like that its weird it will idel around 900 u rev it a little and rpms drop to around 200 im woundering if anyone on her ever experience something like this

Changed fuel filter was really dirty but no help any ideas guys i know its hard to tell by a video but anyideas or anyone had a similar problem
 
Could be a TPS or IdleSw.

This is just my blind guess, so don't go thinking that is what it is until you get the cel sorted out.
 
Thanks for the info guys will check it out tomarrow would my car be a obd2 or obd1
 
Interesting gauge cluster you have in your N/T.

Put getting the codes pulled at the top of your priority list, anything else you do you're just throwing money at it and getting no where.

Yup i know i guess one of the ex owners was doing a clone or maybe it was a ex turbo any ways ill get back with u guys with codes just been busy too mess with the car
 
Thanks for the help ^^^^ anyone wanna help out decode the codes i think i got them figured out just need a second opinio.
 
Im starting to loose faith on my little talon should have a chance to work on it this weekend will give you guys an update
 
A little update my crank shaft wires where burned off so they where replaced car turns on but after a while it shuts off by itself will upload codes later on the shop I had it at gave up on it fuel pump was good car has spark they where assuming my ecu is fried anyone know the symptoms of a bad ecu. Another thing I noticed car will not stay on at all if AC is on

Btw RPMs dont go crazy anymore only thing power cuts off at about 4.000 rpm feels like the car wont move
 
New,update after all the trouble I finally got the car to stay on replaced the map sensor and now the car turns on stays running and RPMs dont bounce like crazy now the the issue is my idle,is high its at 2500 if I turn on the AC it drops to about 1800 could it be a bad idle control sensor I have no types of leaks,all hoses and gaskets where checked
 
The high idle is most likely the idle air control valve, take it off and clean it by soaking the end im gasoline or somthing similar for an hour
 
Finally running good replaced map sensor iac and my throttle body gasket who knew those little sensors would cause my car to idle bad and make,my RPMs go crazy when driving
