The car is running and idling good untill i hit the gas ,it bogs so bad that it will stall. i have replaced the TPS, cleaned the MAF, replaced the Coolant temp. sensor, and o2 sensor,and plugs and wires. The idle adjust screw on the IACV has no effect ( i was told i need a neutral switch on the transmission for it to work). But i dont believe i need a new IACV because it seems to idle ok until it begins to bog down ,or if i hit the gas it bogs or stalls out.

Also i have weird wiring issues which have been around since its previous owner ( go figure) . it drains the battery dead if i leave the terminals on over night, and i dont get power to the distributer unless i jump the GREEN relay for the ign. coil. I tried to replace the upper engine harness but it didn't help. and i dont get power to the fuel pump unless i turn the cannon plug a certain way??????????

i dont believe its a vacuum leak i have been through the fsm a dozen times trying to figure out what might be leaking, BUT i did the EGR delete so im not sure exactly what has to be capped off beside the metal hoses under the throttle body which dont actually lead to anything, besides the one on the very back of the engine block. :picard:

MY CAR HAS A HUGE NICO and NOPI STICKER UNDER THE HOOD FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER WHO HAD A KA24DE_T WHICH WON NOPI LEGAL STREET DRAG. HELP ME GET THIS CAR BACK ON THE ROAD

for what reason woud i have to jump relays if all i changed was the motor. could this all be because of transmission sensors, i accidentally damaged one when i was unplugging the harness and another was already missing ( definitley not the speed sensor ) all i can think of is theses sensors, a new lower harness, and maybe a dirty IACV, and a new alternator. and reground the engine bay. but damn , some opinions would help

LOOK at the grass missing from near the front of my car in my avatar picture. im tired of pacing back and forth and leaning on the fenders and causing dents, just trying to figure out what the problem is.

check fuel pressure if it stalls when you give it air (by pressing the accelerator) then its not getting enough fuel. Or maybe its one of the 5 million other problems you've listed.

i was wondering about that, because it wont start unless you barely push the gas and THEN if you give it to much gas it would stall ( like its not getting proper A/F mix ) but umpteen billion other problems are most likely causing this. i did notice that the fuel pump doesnt seem to work right unless i turn the cannon plug a certain way
