Throttle problems
Help! Just got my engine rebuilt. Took it out for some performance testing and now the throttle is jerking 2100, 2500, back to idle. I can hear a clicking sound if I open the hood as it revs. Car seems ok, no smoke, runs fine above 2500.

re: a/c
Freon was just recharged, but it does it with the a/c off. I just heard a couple of mild backfires, and I don't think it will idle. Vacuum leak maybe ?

could be so many things and I'm probably not the best person to ask as I never had any issue like this.... Except for the overcharged freon.
definitely check vacuum lines, but also check all those idle control things such as Throttle Position Sensor, Idle Speed Control, throttle body idle screw settings etc.
I took my car back to the shop to bleed out the entire a/c system and recharge to the appropriate level. different a/c compressors have different max pressure levels.
good luck.

Ok. I had the freon bled out. Now it idles at 1300-1600 with the a/c off. Still 2100-2500 with a/c on, although it's no longer cold. Motor feels solid on test drives. I hooked a boost gauge up and I don't think I am getting any boost. Will it boost with no load ?
