Hey everyone. Finally getting my car up and going after a full rebuild. However, since I wasnt the previous owner before the rebuild I had no idea what was wrong with it before. I am having a really rough idle upon startup. When the car is at normal operating temperature it begins running better and stronger. I can drive it around with limited problems, however, when I turn the car off and start it back up, the terrible idle comes back. I was thinking the coolant temp sensor?? or maybe a clogged cat. I want some opinions on this? I will tear off the cat if necessary and I will proceed to test the temp sensor.
I have done a boost leak test. Yielding a couple of leaks that I fixed (besides my turbo seals that are leaking). New turbo soon. Still builds boost very well. Evap system was deleted before boost leak test also. TPS and IAC test well!!!. I also checked the ecu when it was out of the car. . . .Didnt notice any damage. I believe timing is on, Even though I havent got a timing light on it yet.
Any input would be much help!!! Thanks.
