Timing will normally jitter a bit. It's good to get into the habit of checking the light beforehand to verify the jumper is making contact. My bad on the cat. I assumed you mixed the numbers up. If they turn out to be the same after driving the car you should try another. Look for at least a...

Even though you seem to be another cheap owner who wonders why he has so many problems with the car I'll give it another shot. First, the TPS is not serviceable by opening it. For one thing it's potted. If you open it you won't be able to get back together and even if you do it'll be in worse...

Speak for yourself there Sport ;) I have all that plus the plastic pouch they came in *and* the instructions. Pretty much pristine too. Same with the factory car cover, cable, and lock.

Yeah, ban my ass so I won't need to read posts from idiots like you. Haven't you noticed certain people quickly stop receiving responses from the most knowledgeable here and that you fall into that category? Are you that clueless? The truth is some people just can't be helped. Dark006 is as...

Lol. Here's a another piece of advice: Don't state something with authority then promptly admit you never knew much about it. I agree it's no big deal but as an SME it's my "job" to prevent misinformation. How important your credibility is on this forum is not my concern. If you don't feel...

Just to resolve any confusion for others what dbsupra90 said is correct. Technically well stated too. Reaper: Better to say "I think but I could be wrong". That way you don't take to much of a hit when you turn out to be ;) empera: I'm pretty sure that right side relay is for the condenser...

I assumed he mixed the inlet and and outlet up. It can't work as described and if the cat was dead there wouldn't have been much of a difference at all. Or he may have done it at idle and it hadn't fully lit off yet. That said now that I look at the post again 120 is very low, far too low for an...

He's asking because based own what he wrote he can't possibly be serious ;)

You've got bigger problems than a TPS. And how do you know it's bad anyway? It's not as if it's difficult to test. Also, if the MIL came on you have at least one code. Check for it.

A screwdriver is all you need. Maybe a 10mm socket too.

Exempt? Lol... You know, you could go to the CA DMV website and have all your questions answered. Last I checked the internet was more than a global pornography network.

Yeah, leaky injectors cause code 34 all the time. Go ahead and yank them all. It'll be a valuable learning experience.

The problem is some of what you're learning is wrong. Do you know what the Law of Primacy is? Be careful. People who "know enough to be dangerous" are the ones who'll do the most damage to you under that law.

Depends on your face I suppose ;). You might be able to get a flexible adapter on the low side. Charging with liquid isn't a bid deal as long as the engine is off. Btw about the compressor: I was thinking of charging the low side with liquid. Too early in the morning for me to be thinking right.

No, not "normally". You'll be charging with liquid. I hesitated on that reply just for this reason. Inexperienced people should not charge with liquid. I do it as a matter of routine because it's much faster than charging with vapor but if you don't know what you're doing be very careful. At...

Ain't that the truth. Which group are you in? ;) I dunno what is causing your problem is but if I were you I'd test things before condemning them as bad. I dunno how "classic" your symptoms are either as you should be able to drive around all day long with the AFM disconnected. That said if...

You can charge the high side with liquid. Just be sure the engine is off or you could get hurt in a big way.

There are no shortcuts. Read the TRSM and it'll all become clear. Fwiw the EFI system works pretty much the same as it does in any car, OBD-1 or not. The principles are the same even if the diags aren't. One tip: Careful with codes because you don't know how old they might be. That doesn't...

Lol...doesn't get much better than that.

I don't have time to go into it right now but if he says it happened I believe him. I don't see how it could cause the problem but since you need a new sensor put one in and see what happens. That way we can all learn something ;)
