So I put the new injectors in those are a go..
Through in a different n332 ECU..
Ive been playing around with that throttle body for a couple hours..
The the one volt output will not stay a solid 1v DC for its life..
I had it idling around 3k and it was just hanging not surging and hit the gas a little bit and that was the last of that..
Warmed it up a buncha times with out a solid idle kept on trying to die unless I gave it gas..
I checked the tps after every warm up and it would drop to the .70 - .60v range after I kept setting it too about 1V and I would pull the throttle cable and drop it and make sure it lands at on or about the 1V..
It was never consistant..
**** is giving me a headache haha

thanks man im working on it alright and you arent kidding with the amount of adjustments..
Before I even finished reading what your wrote i was gonna mention the BAC but seem like u got that in a head lock....
How do u know for sure that it isnt working?
Did you apply direct battery power to ir see if u get some clicking?
Make sure its definately recieving power with the key on?
The resistance should be about 10.7-12.3 ohms..
If all thats good then pull it off and see if something visually stuck inside spray some lubricant in it..
With out that bac I think your gonna have to expect to hold down the gas pedal till it warms up almost everytime..
Also check out ur tps make sure that's correct..

I Ohm tested the old BAC, it started at 13.1 and kept climbing! Got the new one and its solid 11.6 When I first start it, it will idle all day between 600-1100 but the second I touch the gas, it dies wtf? Still, I suppose thats better than no idle at all. (at least now I can go to the exhaust shop

Looks like its time to check the TPS...

I'm still fighting with this haha..
I think I got the settings all where they need to be just have to adjust the tps..
I ended up putingt a nice hole in my radiator leaking antifreeze..
In the mean time while im waiting on yet another item the new radiator and fan assembly,
I decided to work on other things like getting my intercooler to not be so crooked so the hood would close much easier haha..
By the time I was done I ended up like this..

So it's not like nothings getting done..
Just dont really want to run the car too much with that radiator leak, dont want those hot pocketss

Sharingan im glad that things are going a little bit better for you..
Maybe definately check the tps make sure thats on point..
And i know my tps is good just a general ohm check of it is within the proper range from like under 1k and up and maybe a littlbe bit over 5k..
Thats what I'm going to attempt tomorrow myself..

Its been raining but I set up shop under a tent..
I started it up after making a some adjustments to the throttle cable and the back of the throttle body adjustments and the pots..
Started it up it was idling but very high 3500rpm high..
After it had warmed up I shut it down and used the light tester and checked the tps it was a little off so I adjusted it to one of the lights..
Ran it again and it kept on wanting to die and not hold any idle..
Started raining real hard so until tomorrow thats all I got..
One thing that i noticed that was kinda wierd was the way the tps tester would light up..
Like usually by turning the tps adjustment you'll see the one led light up and both the same time and back to one lighting up..
It wasnt happening like this time around..
I couldnt get it to see both LEDS at the same time.. it just went from one light and then that light would shut off and go straight to the other..
I set it to 1v as well..
Just need another solid day to mess around with it minus the rain..

I haven't played w/ the TPS too much, but an idle that high (3500) seems more mechanical (TB adjustments , overly tight cruise control calbe__ask me how I know
ect.)
After playing with my replacement TB and doing the TB mod I gained some additional insights into how it all works. When I get a chance I'll fiddle w/ the one on my car to see what I can do about not wanting to hold idle

Still tinkering around with this due to the fact my new radiator fan has a mind of its own and I ran a new thermoswitch and the fans not kicking on so i'm going to use the one I was just using prior to the new on that was working haha..
While trying to adjust the tps once one of the test lamp lights came on the rpms jumped through the roof and when i took it off one of the test lamp lights with no light on the tps tester it was idling alot lower but was surging up and down but at the lowest rpm ive had it near in a while..
Almost seems that having no light on the tps tester is idles the lowest but surges..
Still have alot more tinkering to do... = [

What RPM is this "idling" occuring at ?
Honestly, once I re-installed my BAC and hooked my exhaust up, it tries to idle between 500-1000 most of the time hovering around 8-900. The biggest reason for the Hunting idle seems to be the numerous cracks (read: vac leaks) in my TID. Soon to be fixed.
