Idling problem

[h20dies]

So guys just did the head gasket job. Got everything running and now it won't idle. it sputters and dies. I have a code 52 which is knock sensor but i don't know if it would cause it to be that bad.. and i know my tps is not calibrated perfectly. Anyway heres the video, any input is much appreciated need this up and running so I can sell! http://s1356.photobucket.com/user/christian_hall2/media/VIDEO0025_zpsf5f49188.mp4.html

uhhh...cal the TPS

Fix the KS wiring

Clean IAC valve

check your timing too I had that problem after I did my HG and my timing was off.

 

[h20dies]

I reset timing totally and i got it to the point where it will idle a lot better but still dies on occasion. My coil pack grounds are not grounded but im confused on where to find the wires. _._

Did you check the timing with a timing light? with te1 and e1 jumped?

 

[h20dies]

Yes I did. Had 10* with terminals jumped and still ran bad.

Your TPS isnt cal'd and your coils pack isnt grounded...and your car isnt idling correctly? shocker

Fix the code 52, Cal the TPS, ground the coils...if it still doesnt idle then we can actually start to diagnose the problem.


Fix the obvious stuff first

Fixed them, it idles and drives good but stumbles every once in awhile and almost stalls now and it's slower then sh**.

It's a GE (according to your profile)...it's not gonna be screaming fast.


Do you have an AFR gauge installed?

How are your spark plugs?

CPS adjusted all the way to one side to get it to run? Maybe off a tooth. Double check. It will act as described and may not throw a code (didn't for me).

 

[h20dies]

Its a gte actually -.- and cps timing is 10*
