My car started to have idle problems out of no where and i can't seem to find what the problem is the past couple of days..i got a s13 redtop in a s13 chasis.....I've checked for codes and it pulled a code 12...switched the mafs with the ka-e mafs and nothing..it shows code 55 now which i think is normal rite?...it'll start up fine and everything, then when it starts to warm up it'll just go lean/hesitate and starts to die...PLEASE HELP ME!!! it's my dd.

Things I've checked...

switched Mafs
Switched fuel pump
sprayed carb cleaner in iacv

maybe check your TPS sounds like the throttle plate is shutting, ive had very similar problems and it was just a huge process of elimination. my problem was the o-rings were leaking when they were warm??? how to this day i do not know? but i would check to see what fuel pressure you're gtting and your tps. how is your battery voltage? check your alternator fuse i know it sounds dumb but my buddy's was blown and his car had the same symptoms.

Diagnose it like any other car. Check the basics. Fuel, Spark, Timing, and Compression.

Its been a while but I just wanted to let you guys know that I fixed the problem, all I did was got a new 02 sensor. I didn't replace that when I did the swap, stupid me. But thanks for all the help guys.
