Stock 5.0 in 86 tbird want to beef it up. Reply #45 – July 21, 2015, 01:58:10 PM Quote from: TheFoeYouKnow;449912You need only measure the volts at the tps green wire with the key on. Look for between .4 and 1.0 with the throttle closed. Probably not the problem, though. I can watch mine bouncing from 15 (my base timing) to 26 or sometimes 28 at idle in gear. I think you're chasing balloons. You did swap the EEC with a HO EEC, right? How does it drive?I got the DA1 which is for a manual I am reading. But I step on the throttle and it won't move.

Stock 5.0 in 86 tbird want to beef it up. Reply #48 – July 21, 2015, 06:55:07 PM Your throttle isn't responding because you have no tps sensor, or your throttle cable isn't moving. With the key off, set a brick on your gas pedal and verify that the throttle blade is moving. If it is, you need to trouble shoot your tps wiring.Again, verify voltages like the link i posted.

Stock 5.0 in 86 tbird want to beef it up. Reply #53 – July 21, 2015, 09:58:34 PM I realized i got the spark plugs for E6 heads not the E7s. There is a difference between them. Spark plugs 3,4,5, and 7 were black. Coincidentally these are the spark plugs that you switch when doing an HO conversion. The others were normal.The correct spark plugs and wires helped with throttled firing a little. Couldn't take it out for a test spin though. Will update tomorrow when I drive it. Quote Selected

Your probably not even getting open loop, which means the car is running in a fail safe mode. Its called limp mode, as it is just supposed to run well enough to not hurt the engine until it can get serviced.Finish hooking everything up, clear codes and make sure the car is doing what its supposed to.

Its called limp mode, as it is just supposed to run well enough to not hurt the engine until it can get serviced.Finish hooking everything up, clear codes and make sure the car is doing what its supposed to.Without o2 it'll never be in closed loop(duh), but the lookup tables in the ECM will sub a workable value and the car will run approx as it should... Gas mileage will be decreased by probably three mpg... If o2 are removed/failed after a normal operation, as long as KAM is still powered, the ECM will use the last working values reported by o2...

Stock 5.0 in 86 tbird want to beef it up. Reply #59 – July 22, 2015, 11:20:11 PM Yes MAP is a absolute requirement, engine load is calculated by amount of vacuum applied... With no vac, ECM calculates for WOT... Converters will glow cherry red... In order of importance TPS isn't far behind, but I've never seen anything anywhere near catastrophic such as MAP can produce(BTW a stuck open VAM on a Turbo Coupe can produce similar results of disconnected MAP) ... TPS failed on my '93 Lightning(they are SD), idled fine but had about as much power as a 3.8 missing half the plug wires... Quote Selected
