troubleshooting

Post by nolig2278 »

setup: bpt engine, vaf and ecu into a 94 dohc

remote start most of the time fail, starts and dies, but in really cold temps it starts up and runs fine

idle with ac sometimes drops low enough to stall or nearly stall

idle also has a slight gas smell

idle jump with and without the ac on
usually just around 750

could this all be because of bad temp sensor, like the one in the vaf?

higway miles is almost 29mpg and city is around 24mpg

boosting to 12psi with a serious run and 8 psi under normal acclearation

any help/thoughts would be appreciated.

thanks
94 RS to BPT
2.5 FMIC
MicroSquirt
2.5 Exhaust
