Hey guys,

I just finished my 5 speed swap but have few problems. During the swap i broke the idle sensor and replaced it with a new one. Know my car has a funky idle and sometime dies on the first start if i dont give gas.

My second problems was that i took my car to garage to install pedal and wiring since i almost took 2 weeks to install the damm transmission. My car starts up with out clutch(auto ecu) and have no reverse lights. Should auto ecu start with no clutch?

Any way to fix these problems.

Its fine to start without that sensor. some prefer it. Just be careful if you get remote start that has a neutral position switch on it so you can't jump you car forward. You can push clutch in anyway if you want. I do out of habit I step on the brake with my left when starting autos. but I think you can route that clutch switch to a parking switch maybe?

Maybe you need a new fuel pump, or maybe check the fuse for it. If I haven't started it in a few days it does that too.
