A lot of problems!!

[sXeTK421sXe]

Hi everyone, I have a 420A 95 Eclipse non turbo . I just bought this car not to long ago and I haven't been happy with it since. I did the head gasket, timing belt and water pump myself and my friend did the clutch. Some of the problems are: It wont idle, it often has an unresponsive throttle, it usually will never rev passed 3000 RPM and I can hear air of some kind around the exhaust manifold/ downpipe area that increases with RPMs. I think this might be an ehaust leak but I'm not sure exactly. I just replaced the Cam sensor and connector and the TPS. After this as soon as I put a load on the car I got 5 codes at the same time1390 Timing belt skipped a tooth, P0123 TPS High input, P0108 MAP, P0139 O2 sensor (I'll replace that that's a give in, I also think this is causing my car to run very rich.) P0505 IAC. I'm not sure what my next move should be. It is also leaking a lot of oil as well But I already did the head gasket so I'm not sure where from. Thanks for any help!!

Oh boy that is quite the laundry list. As far as the throttle being unresponsive, i see you replaced the tps but you have to adjust them properly so your car can tell how far your throttle is depressed. Link for that TPS Adjustment Exhaust leaks like the one you mentioned near the downpipe can mess with the idle but so can a lot of things. A good way to find an exhaust leak is to use some seafoam and see if white smoke leaks out of the exhaust anywhere, but you may want to wait to do that until your car actually idles. Fix the timing and just go one problem at a time i guess. Good luck

There is definitely alot going on there. You are going to want to try to find where the oil is coming from so we can give you a little more guidance.

It will also run better if you fix the exhaust leak and get the timing back where it should be. An exhaust leak will be pretty obvious if you look really hard and try to find a crack/hole. But the leak probably isn't causing much trouble as something else going on.

You could also check the voltage on the TPS wires/plug. Sounds like it is not connecting or something. Or you just got a bad replacement. Or it hasn't been adjusted properly... That would be a possible cause for the unresponsive throttle. The timing would be as well though.

I'm sure some others will chime in but that should be a decent start... just try to get a little more info about the oil leak and where.

Thanks for the replies!! I'm going to make sure that the TPS is properly calibrated and also see if I can degrease the engine to better locate the oil leak. I believe I feel just a little bit of air escaping from the upstream O2 sensor, where it screws into the downpipe. I know the fan wasn't on and I'm not sure where else the air could be coming from. I hope an O2 will fix it instead of the downpipe because I wasn't planning on getting headers just yet . With the timing I heard that with DSM that if the head is removed the PCM has to be reprogrammed to know where the crankshaft and camshafts are located by their sensors. I never did do that. Do I have to? And do you think that that could be causing my 'timing belt skipped a tooth' code, or is it more likely that the timing is actually off. It does idle sometimes, especially when its cold, but when its hot it is pretty iffy about it and even when it does idle its usually a rough one. Thanks again for the help!

I also found out that my TPS sensor only bolts on in one location and can not be caliprated. I need to test the wiring though maybe a bad PCM?
