#2252, "Finnaly fixed my rough idle issue" Apr-27-05 06:44 PM by qc dsm tsi
I posted on here a while back of my idle issue. Ill recap quick on the problem.
I bought my talon from a guy from work for 500 because the T belt skipped.
Well after I got it rebuilt, the car would never idle correctly. It was a rough idle, kinda like a missfire. The only way I can really describe it, is it sounds like it has a lopey cam. The motor shakes which shakes the car. When you step on the gas starting at 2grand it runs perfect, no shaking or anything.
Ive done boost leak tests, replaced all plugs wires, idle set and everything, with no results.
During the many times of tinkering with it, I forgot to plug the MAS sensor back in, and started the car, and she idled perfect... well for about 30 sec. Then it threw a CEL and died.
So last night I was over at Lukes (Hult250r) just brainstorming, and I told him about when the MAS was unplugged. I was like well its a longshot, but maybee the MAS is bad. So we rummage through his many spare parts and get his old MAS. (THANKS LUKE!!!)
Today I put it on, and it runs PERFECT. Im so happy, its litteraly been months of trying to figure this out.
Now all I have to do is get the window, and the dp fixed.
