Stalling????

welfle18 · 04-06-2008, 05:17 PM

Alright here is my problem I just installed a new fuel system 255hp rewired, 1000ccs, rail, and afpr. I also have link to manage the large injectors. After I installed the whole kit, it stalls when it idles. I don't yet have a laptop to check my logs, but was wondering if anyone would have a clue on why I am stalling at idle. I wish I could provide more information about fuel trims but I just don't have the tools right now to check that. Any suggestions that might be helpful at the time would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Have you ruled out the IAC motor? Has the car been tuned yet?

Well that is why I was a bit hesitant to post because I haven't checked any logs or tuned it yet because I don't have a laptop. I was just wondering if there might be any quick checks I could do to maybe fix the problem. And where abouts is the IAC motor. Haven't checked it yet. The only thing that makes me think that its not that is because it idled fine before I installed the system. I guess until I can get a laptop I will just have to deal with it.

If you haven't tuned its running super rich. Tune it, then come back and post the results.

Yea sounds like you need a tune. For future reference the IAC is underneath the TB elbow, and has a six prong connector going into it. . A good IAC will show 28-32 ohm's between pins 1-2,3-4,5-6.

1 2 3
4 5 6 This is the pin numbers with the two tongues of the
connector facing upward

well that is what i thought might be the problem being super rich. I do have link set for the 1000cc injectors but i suppose that that is a base setting. I will have to get a laptop and check it out.

So I finally hooked up a laptop to the car and as soon as i got it to work presto no more stalling and well she has a rock solid idle. I wish the laptop was mine but unfortunately it was my sisters. Didn't have a chance to save the first log before it died but thought that I would update the situation for anyone who was worrying for me ha ha.
