Throttle body sensor

That sounds like spattering, check the gaps on your sparkplugs, if not that I think the big thing is pressure spraying the engine, not a good idea if u ask me, normally if your idling modulator(power transistor) gets wet this becomes a problem...missing....

sorry about the inapropriat use of grammar in the previous post

no sweat dude - we're getting used to it 😂
but then again, maybe you should stop calling veecee a womeone
(i once saw him kill a pretty 16 year old girl after she called him a womeone)

all good here - kinda run whatcha brung attitude. Tell them widowmaker sent you .... (almost like in leisure suit larry, just much much more dark and disturbing - oh, my goodness chocolate chip cookies, silly me i forgot the MAIMING DEADLY obscure part)

i dont like the inappropriate use of the word "we" in this sentence, and i've also seen myself mame a little biscuitmaker like you!!!

aaaannnnnyyyyyywwaaaaaayyyyy...

i knew that the water in the engine bay was a bad thing to do, but i stayed away from electrics, and it happened anyway.

i replaced the plugs this weekend with the service, and checked the gaps, and set them this time to the standard 1.1mm. also i went through the connectors with a multimeter, and they seem fine. i also replaced the power transistor with a spare that i have, and it didnt change the symptoms!

so i'm confused. i will check that damn TPS again, because i remember similar symptoms when i had a problem with it before.

i am ready to install a damn toyota motor at the moment!!!
anyone want a ca18det with forgies????

ok ok i give it to you - let me rephrase :

Veecee it seems all the sx's has a GHOST in the engin...he is called Murphy the F*CKER, yesterday my story started again.....drive normally and then put foot on exelirator, the nose dives like for a milly second and then she starts pulling, when she is cold she has a miss witch goes away when she is hot.

The exeleration problem, I think it is my tps that is out somehow, it feels like there is a delay before the shit comes together. O and another thing, when this happens normally it spews more black smoke than normal, as if it over-fuelled for a milly second or the spark was delayed or murphy pissed in my injectors or......

exactly... it is murphy.

and i also get unburnt fuel exiting the exhaust, i reckon that's why i get that misfiring anti lag system effect - because when the car is hot, then some of the unburnt fuel spontaneously combusts on its way out through the exhaust manifold, causing my boost to climb up instantly in increments of about 0.1 bar!!!

i havent managed to get to the TPS yet, and tonight is wednesday night drift session - dammit!!!! i really wanted to park in front of the pub too!!!

cool, you guys wanna dice?

A previous post may have been cleare about SMT6's not working unfortunately none of them was fitted by me.
SMT 7's will never work as they only work on cars with crank triggers.

I have done enough Unichips and SMT6's on CA18's to offer all of you a money back gurantee. I fit and map you not happy I remove and refund your money.[/quote]

Yesterday after I posted my post here I thought to myself lets just go and see what happens.....I went to my car, drove it to a place in the parking no one would desturb me, then started pulling the plugs, obviosly like always, plugs are black from carbon, atleast it is not running lean.

I decided to regap the plugs from 0.6 where I always gap them to 0.8, put everything back, what do you know, as soon as I started her there is a miss on idle, so that didn't work it just made it worse.....

As I am at work I leave it like this because I can't work on my car the whole day while i am at work. So I go to pick up Freddy because we are going to Wesbank for the nismo thing, just out of town the traffic starts building.....accident, so I go another root, murphy smiles at me with that smurk, the same thing....traffic, as I stand and idle I feel the miss is getting worse, it now sounds and feels as if the car wants to die, so the traffic mooves and I moove, only diffs is as I pull away to moove forward the car spews out black smoke like murphys pumping gallons and gallons of extra petrol into the combustion chamber.

At long last the traffic starts to flow again and I am pissed at murphy and my car, so I give it a good wipping, suddenly the miss is gone and the smoke is much less than it was, if I mean less emagine the black smoke being so bad that the lady behind me had to wait for the smoke to clear before she mooves forward, less now means at least you can only see it a bit in the rear view mirror.

Stop at Freddie, idle smooth, pulls good, not clouds of black smoke like in the traffic.....W>>>T>>>F!!!!!!!

I know the car was overfueling but how is it there then gone?

murphy that fukka!!! he got me too!!

last night decided that i couldn't go to wesbank with a car that wont cooperate, so i was going to "fix" it. so i did...

i checked the TPS first. it was sending the "idle on" signal at its current configuration. so using the multimeter, i repositioned it so that at the idle position of the throttle it sends the "idle on" signal, and at any point above idle - it doesn't. sorted right???... the miss on idle was gone and the responsiveness of the engine was vastly improved - but that was probably because it was now firing on 4 cylinders again!!!

but still it was strange - because it looks like the TPS is set all the way back now!!!

also - i then checked the timing after the car was warmed up. it was way way out - like it was set to 40 degrees advanced or something. before the TPS was changed it looked normal - at about 15 degrees.

so i reset the timing to 15 degrees - and the car is now idling perfectly smooth, and seems to accelerate nicely (although thats under no load) i never managed to go out to check it on the road.

but again - it still strange because the CAS is now set to the full retarded position. how can it be at 15 degrees advanced if the CAS is set to full retard.

my opinion is that the belt cannot be set up correctly - and that i will be taking all the belts and covers off this evening so that i can make 100% sure that the timing marks on the belts and pulleys and everything is 100% perfect. then i will check again.

anyone think of anything else???

At least your cabby is running straight again!

and tonight its going to be pulled apart again. hopefully i can lock murphy out this time!!!

did you find your problem??? have you checked your computers fault codes?

No it drives good again and the idle is better, Freddy checked my sensors last night and all seems well exept for throttle idle switch, it is on open the whole time, need to adjust that like yours, will check again, she is running well now but the overfuelling is still there, not as much though.

I am wondering, I had a toyota and the car use to build up carbon then as soon as this got out it was better again, could my bad symtoms not maybe be connected to carbon buildup, as soon as I got this out it felt better, can it be carbon because as I say my plugs are always black from carbon.

could be!

many ppl have posted this before - that the plugs can get fouled up and prevent the car from running nicely!!!

But why does the plugs foul up so easely and fast?

picture this:

i touch my index finger to my thumb.

i put the three other fingers straight up.

i then bring that hand towards my face, and...

stick my nose through the circle it my fingers have made.

that spells "fcuk nose".

anyway - not sure, all i am sure of is that i am not happy with my stoopid engine and all of its stoopid electrics.

maybe i should buy two dellorto sidies, and blow through them, so that i can throw out all of those electrics!!!

Thanks for the picture.....ya the electrics, the plugs....I replaced my plugs friday night with other plugs I tested for a day or two and then took it out, on the way back from wesbank on saturday I noticed a miss on about 4500 revs, I then replaced it again with other just to see what happens, now the miss is down low, about 2500 revs.....

I am going to change it again tonight to see what happens next.

lol - when my car gets hot now, like on a trip from randburg to edenvale, which happened yesterday, my car wont do anything else but idle.

it used to misfire and all that, now it just drives perfectly until hot, then only idles. its difficult to drive when it only idles!!!

i can have my foot flat, and it goes whup wait whup wait whup wait (like a slomo rotary) and wont go over 1k rpm!!!

burn it i say!!!
