Is your check engine light on???

 

[TekBuDDy]

Your ecu is in limp mode meaning is runing on a set fuel map, disregarding all sensor input, yes its safe driving it like that but get it fixed

 

[TekBuDDy]

iight the thing is when i drove it like that and if i was chillin in any gear and if i just tapp the gas the car would jerk and when it was plugged it wouldn't do that

 

[TekBuDDy]

i dont kno but the car seem a lil bit faster :twisted:

like "cabezzzdb8" said your ecu (computer) is in some kind of safe mode (due to the fact that you dissabled that) so in safe mode you shouldnt push him down cause hes in a table/map that has safe settings just so youd get to the garage.

Yeah ill run a lil rich that way to compensate for ambient temp, but get it fixed

my car idles from 1 to 2 back and forth but i think it had something to do with the temp it was freezing but today it didnt do it

my car idles funny too. i did a vacuum test on it and got really good results so its not that. its my headgasket. when i start it up it goes to like 2,5 and then goes down to 1,5 in about 10 mins then after it warms up its either at 1 or sometimes drops to almost 0. it bugs me out but i know what my problem is. :cry:

it does start a little high, but it's not your headgasket. you wouldn't be able to drive your car if your radiator fluid was leaking into your crankcase, and that's exactly what happens when a B Series motor blows a headgasket. you'd notice a LOT of smoke aswell.

maybe chack your IACV.

I have a problem with my IACV too.. it kinds of works but I get a check engine code... something like high voltage or so?
