First post here and i searched a bit and couldnt really find anything specific to what my car is doing. So it's a 98 Talon with a 92 6 bolt swap with a 95 GST ECU. I have dsmlink V2. Now, someone else did all of the work, swap, wiring, everything. I bought it and when i bought it i was informed that it only needed a turbo. So i replaced the turbo with a 16G. Now come the issues. Stock injectors.
I have the fuel deadtime set to 0, which is what the previous owner said to do. So when i go to crank it over, it cranks fine but it wont start unless im giving it throttle. Once it starts, if it goes to idle, it immediately dies. AFR is around 14.6 while im feathering the throttle, trying to keep it alive. I have changed the spark plugs to NGK BPR7ES and playing with the idle screw makes little to no difference. It doesnt choke or die if i give it gas, it freely revs and runs great as well as builds boost.
So i know the main culprits could be TPS, IACV, CAS, something with the idle screw, possible vacuum leak and maybe the fuel filter. Otherwise, im totally lost. Also, i cant get my laptop to connect to the car again so i also have to figure that out. Appreciate any thoughts/help. Thanks!
