1. you guys are the best. so here are some questions.
2. my car (91 Talon TSi A/T) idles at like 400RPM when i'm in any forward or reverse gear. it rattles the whole car. is this normal? in park or neutral it works fine, idles great, so i'm worried about messing with the BISS screw.
3. my tach doesn't work. sort of. it moves, but when you start driving, it basically stays at 1.5 /2 grand. it'll drop when you shift gears, but it'll drop from like 2K down to 1.5K, depsite the fact that i'm clearly pushing like 5 or 6 on the motor. even revving it in neutral it moves up to like 3 grand when the motor's pushing like 6...
4. my car runs like crap. it moves, but even with the turbo boosting all the way, it has to downshift a gear to get up hills and stuff....
in neutral, it's slow to rev up... i'm going to try and remove all the slack out of the cable, but it's much worse than that...
-when taking off, it's like the car starts in 3rd gear... it takes off REALLY slow and is even slower to pick up speed..it stutters a little bit when you first get on the gas... it gets a little bit of pickup when the turbo starts boosting, but it shouldnt feel like that..
-when driving, it runs the motor pretty damn hard just to stay at like 40mph.... if you're driving along and you come to an incline, it'll just lose RPM like you're in 5th gear (in a stick) and try and drive up a hill you should be in 3rd gear to go up... it's like there's no torque at all...
no CEL on, (depsite the fact it runs like total CRAP) and i can't pull codes because i don't have an analog multimeter to watch the needle.
I think the worst part is that it could be ANYTHING... clogged intercooler, Cam position sensor, crank position sensor, coil pack, retarted timing, messed up ECU, bad injectors, anything really. i'm kinda clueless where to start.
i guess proceeding from here means someone telling me about how the tach gets its signal (cars i've messed around with before either use the Crank Position sensor or the distributor) and maybe the answer to why the car runs like crap is somewhere in there...
thanks in advance.
