Car should idle w/o TPS... Just won't Revv

[joe5169]

Ok, well I haven't seen the car in person, but the guy who owns it says that it starts but won't idle b/c of no TPS connector. Any other ideas?

[quiksilvia]

idle prob could be like 98 things, vac hoses, dirty mafs

[RobDET]

When you say won't idle... do you mean he has to keep the pedal down to get it to stay running or it won't even crank properly?

[joe5169]

you have to stay on the pedal.....and yeah, i know it could be almost anything wrong, i'm just going off of what the owner said about his engine.

Try unplugging the 2 sensor... just a SWAG

[quiksilvia]

that or the aiv, check the sticky on that

[joe5169]

ok i went down to see the car, and aparently the description was sorta off....the engine accually needs a new block, so problem solved. what can i expect to pay for an SR block?

Depends on where you get it... heavythrottle.com has a complete red top w/ everything you need (uncut harness, transmission, ignition parts, etc.) for $2500. From what I have heard, phase2motortrend.com is a good site too, nothing but good things about them. There are also a few members on this board who sell them, ask around for them. I know Daunttless is backed up quite a bit, but there's a few others.

By the way, Joe, guess who this is. I had the 240 you loved to bash...

[RobDET]

I think he just wants the block

[Touchdown038]

Yup, but who's gonna have an SR block just sitting around... maybe he can get one from an SR20DE? Is that the same block?

[RobDET]

I'de contact marco vargas http://www.sr20store.com/

[RobDET]

BTW i have had personal dealings with Marco. He is a good guy.
