110368, Idle issue.
Posted by Jaydogg25, Oct-22-08 04:19 AM
Hello all,

i have a question i'm hoping to get answered. i have a 96 eclipse (420a). last year had the engine re-built, new pistons, rod's etc. re-installed it and it ran fine. got some miles on it then over the summer decided to start adding the preformance parts.

whats been added:
Hahn stage 2 turbo kit
Nitrous
MSD Dis-2
Megasquirt
Fuel Rail
550 Injectors.

for now the MDS is unhooked so bc we wanted to make sure that wireing was fine.

last night for the 1st time we got the car to start. granted it was running real rich and rough @ first. so my friend was messing w/ the MS program trying get things set. and once we seemed to get the car running a little better, not stalling out, the car's idle was high between 2500 and 3000. didn't know if anyone had a idea what maybe causing this high idle.


i figure before i drove myself mad looking @ every little thing i would ask to see if anyone had same issue.

thanks for any help and info
Jason

if you have MS it could be a hundred things, and that even depends on what version. Also could have a vac leak somewhere, on an obvious note.
