Ok, this is how it all started, first I had my alternator take a crap on me, then 10 hours klater my starter. so i figured while it was down I would do a boost leak test. So I find that the bottom screw on my tps was only halfway in. so I screwed it all the way in , and voila no more leaking. So finally I get all the new stuff back on, install my mbc, and go out for my first log. Well as soon as I turn the car on I get a cel. Check it out and its the tps. I never had a code before this and no problems. Car is still idling perfectly and sounds good. So I decode to take it for a spin. For about an hour everything is ok. Running 14#s with no knock, well every once in a while 1 or 2, but otherwise good. then all of a sudden I accelerate and hit a brick wall. uh oh WTF So figure maybe its because I'm running more boost. so I put the stock bcs setup back in, man does it feel slower.. only 9#s, and I still hit this wall per say
SO what I am wondering is is my tps off because of me screwing it all the way in. Or could I have killed it by shooting it wit soapy water
Also I been lookin at other peoples 02 readings and mine seem kinda low (maxin out at like .82. I have mmcd so if anyone knows how i can post the log i would be extremely greatful. Is it safe to drive like this, being as I have almost no knock? My timing never drops below 18degrees, but im getting a tps high of like 2.7 and max injector duty cycle of like 70% If need be I will type out my log. Thanks in advance
