What could cause it to surge and die?

[mercuryfreak200]

Ok the only thing I did was change the air filter to a k&n ( one of those cone filters with an adapter) now it suges and dies. I checked the afm plug its plugged fine( unplugged and re plugged), if i put my foot on the gas a little it stays running, but if I take it off it surges and dies. I read about the ?iscv? but I don't know what that is and I can't find it in the haynes manual or even how to test it even if I found it lol. So if I could get some help please and thankyou if you need aditional info let me know thanks again.

What?? No love for the merc sad day.

 

[supraguy@aol]

Did you remove any IC hoses to get to the air filter- or loosen the intake accordian at all?

 

[hvyman]

Check your codes?

 

[IwantMKIII]

easy way to check the isc is listen for a clicking noise shortly after you turn off the engine. If you hear it, its more than likely working. For a more in depth check refer to TSRM for checking proper resistances and testing its functionality.

Oiled K&N?

 

[mercuryfreak200]

Oiled k&n and I checked my ic pipes and their tight no leaks. I put the stock filter and housing back on same problem lol.

 

[hvyman]

Have you checked for codes?

Edit: Throw the haynes manual away and use this and start here:

If you look through that site theres the Toyota repair manual with much more.

 

[mercuryfreak200]

I will check right now, but I know how to jump the deal but the codes are only two numbers each right? You count the the flashes and write it down etc..

 

[hvyman]

Yup. One number will flash fast and the other slow and it will repeat the codes over and over. Theres also a big space inbetween codes. Also i use a small paper clip thats bend and stays in my car in case i ever need it.

Been thinking that whole time.

 

[mercuryfreak200]

Ok I got it code 22. Now where do I find it so I know what it means

 

[hvyman]

In that link i posted.

Here it s again this time save it:

Its for the water temp sensor circuit. Its the one for the ecu so you kind of need that fixed.

 

[mercuryfreak200]

Thanks hvyman saved it too sorry. Is that sensor hard to replace?

 

[hvyman]

No its on the t-stat housing. Shouldnt take more than 5-10 min and some coolant but the problem could also be with your wiring too.

 

[bombinuass]

and you could have ripped a wire removing the stock filter. like i mean caught the filter on the therm. wire when getting it out the car.

 

[mercuryfreak200]

As I looked at the t-housing there is a wire that has like a speaker connetor on it and it has a piece of the conector from the sensor on it, guess i popped off gonna have to get another one, checked prices on line 9-14 bucks i'm gonna replace both sensors cause they are cheap and an easy fix. Thanks guys for your help if I have anymore problems I'll let you know.

Sorry for spelling errors again my computer is on the fritz. I'm having to go back and edit alot sucks.

 

[bombinuass]

glad you figured it out. was this your surge problem tho?
