OK so i bought a 2g gsx with a 6bolt swap on it.. seems to run ok under boost but feels like it has no power in boost. it has a few cel on.. it has a vacuum delete and im not sure what else. the codes are p0325, p0105, p1500, p1400, and p0443. . also the car vibrates at a stop and neutral. has prothane mounts all around and wanted to know if that would matter?? thanks guys .. couldn't really search around since i have to go to school today.. :)

ok.. so i found out some other stuff about the car that i am getting fed up with and its barely the 1st day i drive it .. drive it.. it wants to turn off everythime i shift and the gas pedal is really tough/hard. when i shift to neutral and let the gas go the dam rpms go to zero then back up a bit then back to zero and then wants to turn off. it does that for a bit until it finally settles down and sets at sound 700-800 rpms. . when the car vibrates really bad.. i really dont want that 6 bolt it has. i just think thats the main issue. but idk yet.. just want to throw in a 98 7 bolt and have all the wires oem .. plus the bov is vented.. i didn't do that.. came that way.. i dont like it like that.
 
Prothanes will cause the car to vibrate as they are solid motor mounts. As for the other issues I say take it to a mechanic you trust and get the codes looked at as well as your stiff gas pedal. It may be the throttle body sticking, put some WD-40 on it and see if that doesn't fix the problem.
 
Goto Autozone for the codes to be read. They are most likely emissions related and random misfire. The others I'm not sure.

Stiff pedal can be the cable not adjusted properly or if the TB was rebuilt, the throttle plate is catching on the inside wall. Recirculated the BOV and check for boost leaks; idle surge.
 
yeah two are emission related the otgher says map sensor and the last one says knock sensor.. but idk yet.. thinking of ordering the punishment racinf fmic instead of using this ghetto ass one it has from the previous owner

ok so two i=of the cels are important the map sensor is not connected on the 1g mani and it doesnt even have one. the ones that are important are the knock sensor and the vehicle speed sensor.. how can u test that sensor out. the speedometer seems to be working fine
 
You can't give up on the car if you say you've barely driven it one day, problems come with DSMs, it's part of the deal. these cars just need a little love and patience, trust me.
 
You're dying at stops due to the BOV being Vented.

Your Throttle Cable likely needs to be adjusted.

The shuddering is likely both due to the motor mount inserts and the misfire.

If I'm not mistaken, a common thing for the 6 Bolt swap in a 2G is that you will get a CEL for random misfire. I've never done it, and I haven't looked into it. I know a few wires have to be swapped around and so-on. In my mind, if you weren't the one that did it, there could likely be a lot wrong.

Also, you need to check the knock sensor on the back of the block and make sure that it's both good and plugged up. If not, it will retard timing and the car will have absolutely no power.
