Well it isnt all unicorns and rainbows over here, it runs like shit, ha. I'll do my best to give all the info. Only new parts from teardown is a new 270 alt and the head studs. Same fuel, same plugs, battery sat on a charger. From what I can tell all vac lines are hooked up, no pcv just breathers. All injectors seems to be firing the same from what I can hear. Only got one code, p2195. Unplug the iac and it immediately dies, wont run without the blower belt. I unplugged all the coils on the driver side and its idles the same. Strong raw fuel smell. Checked plug gap just to make sure.
I'm out if ideas, anybody have a thought? I'm all ears
And yes I know the coil covers are off, it didnt make a difference

Did you change injectors and maf? Without a retune your computer probably thinks it has the old parts in there.
Nope, same id1050x injectors and same slot maf
Looking at the video I see at idle, if that's what you call what's happening here, I'm only showing 2lbs of vac. Clearly this isnt right. But I looked over the obvious spots and they all seem to be connected.
Does the brake booster use vac from the engine?

Nope it's ran off the power steering pump. If you have to go back in there you really need to ditch the 1050s they re probably not going to keep up on corn.
I didnt think so but every other vac line looks good, so the booster is the only other thing I messed with. I'll sleep on it and look again with fresh eyes tomorrow. Thanks
I can go back and look at the logs from when I was tuning before on this same set up but I believe the injector duty cycle was only like 75-80%.

Looks great!
Probably dumb question....but the breather configuration and deletion of pcv is not "new", correct? That was the way you had it on Kevin's last tune when it ran fine previous to the headstud installation?
I'm sure this will end up being something simple and you'll catch it today with fresh eyes.

My guess is you have a vacuum leak under the blower somewhere and its keeping the bypass from opening. So the blower is probably loaded down and thats why it won't idle. Hopefully it's not an intake gasket.
Correct, went with a breather set up when I originally did the 2.9. It ran fine then
This is also my thought, which is why the blower is so loud at idle. The blower is screaming and it's only at 500 rpm.
I'm fearing the intake gasket considering I've checked every vac connection I can get to
If you have a friend that vapes you could do a smoke test.
Any update on this?
No pulled the blower and checked everything again. All vac lines hooked up, boost bypass checks out, blower spins freely by hand, all electrical connections are hooked up, intake gaskets look good. I'm at a loss right now.
Even reloaded the tune to make sure it was there.
My next plan is to pull the blower again and separate it from the intake and look at the rotors to make sure they arent contacting the housing
I'm open to any ideas people have here

No way you knocked a rocker off or anything?
God I dont think so. I guess I could pull the covers and see. Anyway to check that without pulling the covers?
No probably not, if the blower is still off it might be worth checking the passenger side. Thats the down side of the whipple is you have to remove the blower to look things over.
Well the blower will be coming off again to check the rotors so I guess I'll pull the covers again and see. I'd imagine you would be able to hear if something like that was off? Seems like it would make some noise
Honestly if a rocker was off the car should run decently as there's another valve to still let the cylinder fire. It probably wouldn't make any noise either, now if you some how knocked something around and caused a valve to hang open it might cause your issue.
Your looking for rotors touching doesn't explain the low vacuum. I'm trying address that.
At this point, I think that's the best action plan. Do not run it any more. I would pull the blower and covers.....retrace your steps, double check the entire process and inspect every piece of the puzzle that you can. Hateful excersize to have to do again.....but this is no time to be guessing what happened with this much $$$ on the line.
This sucks to hear. Take a deep breath. You will get it figured out and there is plenty of knowledge here to help. Good thing is that it's the down season so you have a couple months until the weather gets better.
