I found this thread.
My car needs to be fixed, I just don’t know what it is yet.:bawl:
1990 3dr GS, B18A1, 5spd, A/C, Electric Windows.
Car STARTS.
Car IDLES.
But when, I begin to press the pedal to give it gas.
The car starts to bog and sputter up in speed, that is where my problem is at.:bang:
I continue to give it gas, above that bad sputter area, the IDLE is fine.
This is checked in the driveway and not in gear.
I was thinking that it might be the TPS.
Maybe, just need a new TPS gasket?:think:
I didn’t buy one of those early this week.:bang:
I don’t feel any leak in that area, I did spray cleaner in that area to see.
But, no problem was found, no bad idle when I tried spraying their.
I checked the computer and it blinks it’s red light 7 times.
What code is 7, does anyone know?:think:
last thing is, I have searched the FORUMS = I can’t find a clue for this one.
Someone please help me out here.:surrend:
I want to show up for the car gathering this weekend guys.:excite:
I know only a little bit about our cars, but, this one has me feeling really stupid, like the OLD MAN that I am.:bang:
Yeah, our cars have lots of little “quirks”
As far as your code, 7, you’re right on. It’s the Throttle angle
Here’s the code list: http://www.g2ic.com/tegtips/engine/13.html
I get to do a rear wheel bearing when ever it shows up, o how lucky me. Went to junkyard to the junk yard to buy mounts so i can fill them. But nope no intergras with mounts there. Maybe a prelude wheel, yes but in crap shape. Then i tried to get some inner fenders/splash guards. Nope not one of those plastic screws wants to come out without striping. So i gave up and came home… Rant…
I worked
I checked all the hose’s contacts with brake cleaner, I have no leaks.
I checked the ECU now I have -------
----- Code 1 O2 Oxygen Sensor ------
Now, I think that I have to replace that one. I hate having to spend money.
I know it’s not gong to be cheap.
Just so you folks understand —this car is pissing me off, a little!!!----
I still wont sell tho…never
1.Ecu codes 1 & 12( I have a 5spd so I shouldn’t be getting 12. I must have an automatic ECU)
2. Ebay header leaks
3. Ebay exhaust leaks
4. No heat
5. No A/C
6. Crappy blue carpet, the rest of interior is black.
7. No cruise control
8. Mix match coilovers on the front shocks
9. tabs on front bumper broken so it leans to one side
10. 1 side marker mounted
11. valve cover leaks
12. axle seals leaking
What really sucks is once it seems like the list is getting shorter something pops up and puts you back a few spaces. My wife hates my car and anytime I have to spend money on it pisses her off but the fact that I get 31-32 MPG always make thing better. Man I need some heat before winter comes !
Speed sensor.
Car sometimes dies at cold starts.
Speedo cable. bouncing tach
Front driver side brake Squeeks at 40mph+.
Exhaust leaks.
A/c Belt needs to be replaced.
Oil pan leaks. Need a gasket and possibly the drain screw.
Interior:
Shifter boot is hanging.
Still have a small trunk leak.
Squeeky clutch.
-front bumper alignment
-check engine light after i installed the header
-slow rising passenger side window
-heater (only works on the 3 and 4th dot)
-shifter (ebay short shifter snapped on me going into 3rd)
