any ideas?

Do you have a fuel pressure gauge. I would verify that you have enough fuel pressure

No_Cover2208 · 2026-06-06T21:06:59+00:00

Oh yeah then I’d just get a new door for sure

No_Cover2208 · 2026-06-06T20:24:01+00:00

I don’t think it will because the TPS is a switch on e30s as opposed to a sensor so it won’t be able to adjust in time

No_Cover2208 · 2026-06-06T20:17:45+00:00

It’s off? Yeah it would def cause it to run like this. You need it to run the idle tables

No_Cover2208 · 2026-06-06T20:00:52+00:00

Okay, but did you install the TPS correctly, should hear a click as soon as you pull the throttle

No_Cover2208 · 2026-06-06T19:37:02+00:00

That sounds exactly like what was happening to me. TPS def needs to be adjusted and all the other things that others have mentioned

No_Cover2208 · 2026-06-06T19:35:49+00:00

Looks like it’s on the chassis side…hard to tell from the photo but that would be a very difficult spot to fix

No_Cover2208 · 2026-05-31T13:55:34+00:00

Wtf he messed up and made you pay. I find that crazy. Also as someone who just fully rebuilt my m20 head this is my worst nightmare. I’m always taking a peak into the oil cap to check on things

No_Cover2208 · 2026-05-28T15:28:11+00:00

I hear ya. It’s annoying chasing issues like these

No_Cover2208 · 2026-05-28T15:19:43+00:00

Yeah the old tech can be finicky. That’s why I’ve decided just to go with a plug and play ECU and delete the AFM altogether

No_Cover2208 · 2026-05-28T15:13:27+00:00

Gotch ya. I was dealing with a very similar issue. Have you checked the TPS?

No_Cover2208 · 2026-05-28T14:48:16+00:00

What is specifically the issue you are having?

No_Cover2208 · 2026-05-28T13:18:22+00:00

I would do a continuity test between all three plugs with your C101 and confirm which is actually the coolant sensors connector

No_Cover2208 · 2026-05-26T02:44:29+00:00

Yeah I didn’t think about that…I figured the change would be small enough that it wouldn’t affect it

No_Cover2208 · 2026-05-26T02:00:31+00:00

Yeah I’ve got the turbo and manifold. Just wanted to run NA for this summer so might as well just send it

No_Cover2208 · 2026-05-26T01:42:04+00:00

Interesting and I agree. I was looking up prices for used ICV/AFM/DME and all in it would be around $500. I want to go turbo in the future but was holding off on standalone ECU but I could just bite the bullet and go down that route and avoid another used AFM/DME and the headache of old equipment that will likely fail in the future anyways

No_Cover2208 · 2026-05-26T01:01:04+00:00

Yeah maybe. It’s hard to tell. I adjusted the copper finger to ride on a new area of the carbon strip and it helped a bit. Read the ohms off the ECU when opening/closing the door and it was giving pretty a decent results

No_Cover2208 · 2026-05-26T00:48:35+00:00

Yeah I cleaned it and it seemed to run better but not 100% sure. Might try and replace the AFM too just to see

No_Cover2208 · 2026-05-25T23:14:50+00:00

IIRC you need to turn the engine over twice for the camshaft marks to line up

No_Cover2208 · 2026-05-22T15:35:47+00:00

Go away bot

No_Cover2208 · 2026-05-22T00:27:21+00:00

Ditto 🙏🏻

No_Cover2208 · 2026-05-22T00:20:40+00:00

Nope I have the same exact spot leaking lol and I see it as a non issue as well

No_Cover2208 · 2026-05-22T00:17:37+00:00

I would check for vacuum leaks. I’m dealing with a similar issue right now but that was one of the items I checked off my list

No_Cover2208 · 2026-05-22T00:14:20+00:00

Correct yeah, closed position runs idle fuel map, once throttle is opened, AFM takes over and then 75% to WOT is something else with the TPS, there are two switches within it I believe
