HELP!!!! Car won't idle with new TB!!

[JebTonkin]

Well I just got done installing my new Accufab TB, I put it on and tried starting it up but it kept dieing. It will fire but as soon as the RPM's come down it dies. I tried gassing it to keep it up but it acted like I didn't give it any gas at all. HELP PLEASE!

Hey bro, I was jsut about to order an accufab myself till i read all the negative posts about them. That seems like one of the typical issuse along with other issues people have with them. A lot( not all) go back to there stock tb. Some people are having no issues with them and like them. Me, personnally ditched the idea of getting one.

Did you put in a new TB gasket, if so is it obstructing the TB opening?

Check to make sure you don't have any leaks causing un-metered air to get in to the engine.

No, don't think of this as a negative post I am just a novice at installing ths stuff.

I checked for leaks but i will check again, any other ideas.

Are you sure you have the IAC hooked up properly? Sounds like what happens with a bad IAC valve.

Is that the little plug that screws into the TB? Could it be pkugged in wrong?

I found out what it was.....when I was moving the JLT cai around the maf and filter fell off, I haven't gotten it back on because it is super hard to get my hand up in there. So I am taking it off and ordering a RAI in red.

Yea I took it off the stock one, but yea my filter and MAF were completely disconnected though, no worries I haven't wanted to switch to a RAI for a while so this gave me an excuse. I called Jay at JLT and ordered a Rio red rai kit.

No I can't get the maf and filter back on without a jack, so I am just waiting for my new rai, should here by thursday or friday, I may try to go out later and fix it again. But it's so damn cold in my garage. :cuss:

Not to be a dick, but rather than buying a jack, which you should have anyway because they are highly useful, you just bought a RAI?

Don't you know anyone that HAS a jack?

 

[wals9331]

You do have to EVENTUALLY get the filter and maf assembly out from inside your fender....

Rhino Ramps. 40 bucks. Great for appt people.
I have a jack too but I don't take it out for easy shit.

 

[KGblack99cobra]

Autozone is selling a 2.5 ton jack with jack stands for 30 bucks out the door..
Pretty good deal

I have a jack just not at my house, and I wanted a RAI anyway, I mean I just couldn't get my hand ds up in there to get it back together.

To the person that said I have to take it off anyway, I know this but it is already off and getting it out will not be a problem it's just getting it back in the tubing that is a pain.
