It starts on its own. it idles like a stocker..( cause it is).
Once it gets warm though.........weird sht starts happenin.
The tps percentage creeps on its own. Shut the car off, but leave the key on, and you can watch the tps percentage drop..( as in the throttle is closing further than it actually physically can)
That it is losing anything means that something inside the tps isn’t quite right. It is 20 years old after all. So i gotta find, and buy a new one that’ll get here by wednesday.
The bigger issue is that the engine dies.
Every time the cooling fan turns on at 200, the engine will die immediately die. As soon as the electrical system sees the initial spike of current draw from the fan,...... dead.
It doesn’t seem to be RPM related. In other words....it doesn’t matter if you hold the throttle open further at fan turn-on time, cause 2-5 seconds later,....dead. Steve thinks it’s current draw related as opposed to additional engine drag. He has me buying some whiz-bang solid state relay so that he can modulate the signal to the fan.
It also dies when you put it in gear ( Not all disappointing,.....IT GOES INTO GEAR..
The fact that it does this means all is well and good in 4r70 to 2jz adapt-o-trans land). (That may just mean it needs more rpm to offset the additional drag on the engine.)
But just because I love the 3 AMD sooo much, I’ll start thinking about what kinda bad sht it might be, so that he and I can talk about it much later.
The work around to keep the 3 AMD out of my room is simple,...and I have all of the necessary parts in stock to make sure i can make that happen.
In the south,...this is called a “ Dew , and a brew”.
Now I know what you're gonna say already, so do yourself a favor, and pipe the phck down..
I'm on a sht beer quest. My goal is to find a shttier beer than Bud light.
I haven't found one yet.
