Need help getting my car running right - SRT Forums

SRTGallardo · 07-24-2007, 05:15 PM

Think I have a sensor going bad.

- At idle, the MPH guage goes up to about 4 - 5 mph.
- After driving my car chime starts to kick in when the Ebrake is on (sporatically)
- Car is overall running weak.
- 14psi boost
- Car acts as if the fan is kicking on when the speedometer fluctuates
- Happened after BOV and WGA install.

Sounds liek you have a boost leak for part of the issue. You may have bumped/broke a wire in teh sensor to teh TB but that shouldn't affect the RPM's. You might want to try and reset teh PCM if you haven't already done it.

I think you have a poltergeist ! LOL !
check for burned wires or bad ground wire.
why are you not asking on our site ?
I am sure Nick can help you with this.

I got blocked from the other site. My internet access has been limited. Tried reseting the PCM. Works good for a second then back to the same crap. What is really wierd is two days ago it started acting the like the TPS sensor again. RPM's shot up a little and didn't want to lower until I stopped completely.

Yeah, that's a sign it's time to swap the TPS. You have the red line disconnected?

Only line I have hooked up is the white line. Probably doesn't need to be hooked up though.

If the redline isn't connected, you don't need the white one.

Just curious about the redline. I have problems with my car if the redline isn't connected. But your problem sounds more like either the sensor is bad or the wiring needs to be fixed.
