vaccuum leak?

[theciviceater89]

so, i replaced the tps in my car, and now i am only down to two codes. one for the temp sensor, and one for a switch sensor?? first off, wtf is a switch sensor? and is it a big deal if its busted?

second, after i replaced the tps, my car seems pretty normal, but the engine smokes, then comes into the cab of the car...smells bad...im thinking oil?

and on top of that, when i depress the accelorator pedal, the rpms drop like its gunna die, then it builds up form there....but it doesnt make as much power as normal..... please, tell me

WTF IS WRONG WITH MY CAR????

and save yourself the trouble of calling me a noob- i know i am.

Please list your engine error codes.

 

[theciviceater89]

i dont remember the numbers, i just remember it was for the water temp sensor and the switch sensor.

 

[johnathan1]

That doesn't mean anything..."switch sensor"...WTF is that?? I need a code.

 

[mkIIIman089]

You... are much, much worse then a noob...

 

[theciviceater89]

i am opretty sure though, the codes were 22 and 51?

 

[johnathan1]

Maybe you'd better check them again? I mean it takes like what...30 seconds?

 

[theciviceater89]

just did. the codes are, for sure, 22 and 51. and i just gave it a new tps like..three days ago?so..im totally lost...

 

[johnathan1]

22 is the water temp sensor...that means that the ECU is basically getting no signal from it, meaning that the sensor itself or the wiring to it is bad.

Code 51 means that your TPS is bad or isn't adjusted correctly.

 

[theciviceater89]

well, i am going to bet it needs to be adjusted, cuz i just put a brand new one on there. so, how do i adjust it to make my car normal again??

 

[theciviceater89]

also, i am curious how the tps has any effect on my car's engine smoking...and then getting into the car of the car....

Does your car have a rubber hood seal at the base of the windshield?

 

[theciviceater89]

i have no idea if it has the seal, but it comes in from by the cd player, and in the vents and stuff....thats why i am confused.

Maybe you should go see if your car has one??

 

[theciviceater89]

lol...sometimes i wonder why people bother with me...maybe a supra wasnt a good choice as my very very first car now, was it?

 

[theciviceater89]

so, my does indeed have that little seal, and on top of that, it is in very very good condition. actually looks brand friggin new...

:rant2:

 

[theciviceater89]

colin, i did check my codes, thank you.

Probably not a good choice if you aren't interested in cars...but then again, any old car is going to need work. The only way for you to avoid having to *think* would be to buy something new.

And I am guessing you have an oil leak somewhere, and a firewall grommet is torn/missing, and allowing smoke from the engine bay to enter the cabin...among other things.

It wasn't about the codes. In the last rambling idiotic thread you made I told you to check for your hood seal when the smoke was coming in and all you could come back with was "wtf is a hood seal". I told you in that thread, and you still have to ask again! It really blows me away.
