alright.. as you guys know.. ive been having idle prblems you can read my previous threads for exactly all the info.. went out to the car earlier to do some diagnosis... and still idling funny... and when i give it gas the rpms drop low... then come up aa little.. idles fine... then i push the gas .. rpms drop.. what could cause it to do this.. no boost leaks fixed them yesterday.. but i am going to check again.. also... my CEL is not on but is throwing a idle control system malfunction ..-isc swapped and working
 
throttle position sensor, check that, mainly look at the spring like switch near the throttle cable and TPS on the back of the throttle body. i believe it screws out . (not the BISS screw)
I'm mad because i can not remember what its called.

My Talon did this right after i put in my built motor, me and my friend were stumped for 30 minutes until he pulled out that part and saw it was shot. What my car did was when i tried to accelerate it would buck like crazy. then when the car was revved it hesitated and then revved.

hmmm alright ill try

UPDATE
in the process of swappin out throttle bodies... discovered that my throttle cable isnt moving as freely as it shoould.... haad another one in the garage.. lubed her up... and i shall finish it tomoro.. completing tb swap and throttle cable swap... i just need to rest.. besides its cold out haha
 
Well there you go. When you pushed the throttle the extra fuel may have made it too rich therefore bogging your RPMs

you will never guess what i was.. all this stressing ive been doing.. throttle body swaps... isc swaps... considering ecu...
AND THE DARN THING WAS JUST OUT OF GAS!!!
i feel so embarrassed to say it...my float is sticking at 1/4 tank so i thought it had gas in it... it didnt at all... but i think idle surge was fixed with tb swap :thumb:
