Thread: kinda putters

syptoms: when cars at idle and i give it a little bit of gas it kinda sputters a little.. not like its missing, im just not sure what the problem could be.. my de was always really smooth..

so i thought my car was puttering cause the exhaust leaks from the header, but i've fixed the header.. had a crack welded shut, put proper bung/plugs in, got new gaskets for where the header bolts to the head and also where it bolts to the lower half of the header.. both are copper ones from summit.. so ya the headers takin care of but the car still kinda sputters it did it with the stock intake tube, an still doin it with the cai.. it does idle abit high sometimes like 900-1000 but not always.. i've missed with the IACV an it helps a little but not much.. any ideas?? maybe tps? all in all driving the car does fine, u hammer the pedal and she moves... its jus at idle an the first like 1/4 of throttle that it does it..

heres a little video, its kinda hard to hear what im talkin about tho

bad plug wires maybe/? can't hear much on the video

thats actually a good idea man i been meaning to do that.. im usin the iridium plugs that were in my DE would that matter..

i saw what u meant i see the shake of the motor as you give it gas...

whats up with the wiring? need to know what youve chopped or not.. it sounds like man made problem.. unless dist cap bolt is loosening up ... check that

no hacked wiring thats allll de wiring. except the solenoids which thats just from me testing it will be cleaned up shortly. usin de dizzy "obviously" de temp an oil pres. sensors. de iacv.. i have the 2 prong tps but i was told it would be fine with just the 1 plug hooked up.. i did extend the iacv wiring cause it was shorting out but thats been fixed an it works fine now.. other then that i didnt have to touch a thing.. ofcourse im usin a calum ecu also.. an as for the dizzy cap bolts they're not loose thats for sure.. the plug wires im using are OLD they came with my car when i got it.. i keep forgeting to get new ones im glad mackin pointed that out..

also what about the spark plugs.. like i said they're the iridium ones from my de.. they were practicly new and in much better condition then the ones that came with the ve so i put em in..

get some bkr6E-11 and your set

get ngk plugs an which tps connecter are you using on the tps sensor the top or bottom?

the only one that fits.. the top..

turns out it was #4 injector plug wasnt fully plugged in.. fixed.. thanks for help..
