STILL low idle and slow acceleration. no codes!

[chrisisg77]

Im getting very impatient with this car ive changed my fried tps adjusted it using feeler gauge and multi meter using the guide on cygnus , i test drove it then code 52 for knock sensor came out once i hit 2k rpms looked and saw it had been pulled off i re wired it code went away now it idles so low . If i let go off the gas it stalls i cant accelerate past 1000 rpms sometimes and sometimes if i does want to accelerate it does it so slow climbs up slowly to 3k then if i let go of the gas a bit it goes to 4k i checked for codes when i start it it blinks fast for no codes but then when i press gas code 51 comes out . Im sorry if im posting to much but i just want to finish this already i wanna have it running please .oh and i was looking at my exhaust and i noticed it gets supper red is it suppose to be like this

Timing. Valve and ignition. Check them.

Yyup i checked them like 3 times cam gears line up with the lines ,on crank is at 0, first piston at tdc , ignition pointing at number 1 . Well its a little before one bc that was as close as i can get to one .brand new spark plugs as well ill check the timing tommorow as well

Have you checked timing with a light, and with the jumper in place? Timing is more than just making sure everything is set to TDC.

No i havent bc i dont have one .The cheapest one i have seen here is $40 the Innova/Inductive timing light will this do? But what if it thats not the problem what could it be or are u certain it is . I have a feeling it is

A timing light is a basic tool every DIY mechanic should own. You are going to need it.
