Alright guys, i went to take the intake adapter off to drill the holes so i can properly install it. And the sensor for the air intake just pretty much fell off when i touched it. Its the little sensor not the MAF sensor. I had a spare and installed it and its running amazing!

Ah yes the infamous air temp sensor for OBDII. Good detective work. B13 OBDI doesn't have those so that was easily overlooked by all of us. BTW will let you know about those AGXs in the next day or two.

Okay awsome! Yeah definitely let me know mine are getting bad. And yeah man idk how they rip they just sit there haha

However, i was sitting still. Car in neutral, and the rpm shot up to 2k down to idle up to 2k. 3 times then settled all on its own. And when im rolling to a stop in neutral it idles high then when i come to a stop it finally drops. Ever since i adjusted the idle today

Nope.
Usually coolant temp sensor, bad MAF, bad O2 sensor/wiring, etc., stuff like that will do it.

I see, thanks man. Just wondering cause my egr temp CEL comes off and on by itself no restart of the ECU. And i have a resistor in there (which i passed emissions with)

Optimum power at 15 bro. Your call. When I dynoed 191whp on the Dynojet the JWT was set at 15. We tried to bump up the timing and it lost power up top, as much as 5-7whp.



Hmm, I was under the impression that JWT recommends 15 because thats where the SR20's were set at when testing their ECU's.. I have no idea. Most people I know/knew always ran 19 degrees regardless of the ECU they had unless it was boosted..
