all temp sensors are hooked up and i took the sensors out when i painted ... the only sensor that i took out was the boost gauge.

[Rocketman]

try re-connecting it for shits n giggles.

[Heavensheros]

ok and i am going to also rewire fuel pump and reconnect that ... dont think it is the problem because it will run lean when idle at 500 if all this is a fail then i am going to take to auto mechanic and say im leaning out on boost fix it ... >.< whats the most simplistic way to rewire the fuel pump ?

[Rocketman]

josh...it is supposed to run lean at idle...

[Heavensheros]

well it runs lean all the time and wont idle right like its TO lean at idle its like shes going to stall and idles at 500

[Rocketman]

Think we may have figured it out... busted FPR solenoid.

Did you test it? Lol stop swapping carpets, they won't make the car run better

[Heavensheros]

taking the car to a mechanic ... it runs nice and rush under boost but idles for shit and give it a tiny bit of throttle leans out and backfires up the wazoo and runs like shit have to give it WOT for it to run good, get to a stop sign and it idles for shit >.< the car is a demon >.<

i think its the new exhaust but when i go WOT and get to about 4k RPM exhaust makes a louder ricie tone

[bryanknight]

yeah josh dont give in man!! lol i have had many more problems with my car then most on the site lol i have never took it to someone else

you need to check your timing man...

aint no mechanic gunna be able to fix your cars...especially modded, without costing big bucks

step back, take a deep breath, start from the basics, check everything

Josh -

If you've got the time (and especially if you don't have the cash), it's always better to do it yourself.  There is a wealth of advice here that you can tap, so go for it. If you're getting frustrated, take a breather and think about it for a while; don't just keep smackin' it.

Now, if you have the cash and you know someone you can trust, that can work also.  There are no absolutes here.  You do what you can based on your ability and $.  That may or may not mean that you go to someone else, but you start by going back over what you did and systematically eliminate the most obvious first. Because the last thing you want to do is pay somebody to do something you know you can do yourself.

Thats my $0.02

where can i get a timing light to check the timing and would the timing go bad just when the car warms up ? this only happens after it has been running for a few minutes. could this be the TPS that has been removed and put back on and i think it is on right but i am not sure.

[Gostlrs]

Agreed, This Talon i picked up is a hot mess....

I have it stripped down right now. I found so many chaffed wires and one that were cut its not funny. I am gonna start putting back together now that i figured it all out...cost to me free....if i taken it somewhere...I need a second job..Just keep up with it and swap out parts...

Main reason i bought the XR2 parts car..just in case i need something i got it

[Heavensheros]

could there also be a problem with the IAC ?

[Heavensheros]

checked all vac lines ... noticed a little bit that alot of air is going into my cone filter but i tried the best i can without a timing light i moved the TPS a little bit and the dizzy a little bit and idle seems to have gotten control of itself now at 900. the car runs better now for the most part 1st gear mostly perfect under full throttle and just TINY throttle sometimes will have no boost and then jump up real quick. 2nd gear and 3rd gear you give her good throttle and the car runs good everything is normal, but if your giving small throttle as the rpms and boost build slowly the car runs 18+ lean and sputter spatters with small backfires and no power give more throttle the car richens up and drives good. ill keep the info coming to help out everyone with diagnosing this problem

[Gostlrs]

I think your worrying about the idle AF ratio too much. If the car is idling good everything is fine. You need to make sure that under throttle is when your not too lean.It sound like you are there now.
