e3mand Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 So ive recently been through a ton of s*** trying to get my quest to run, that I just bought. First I bought it and the guy said it would need a new tune to run right soooo: I sent my stuff out to Scott and got everything upgraded (he did an awsome job, and he super helpful!), well I got everything rewired correctly, installed a wideband, and had to switch to a different model tach adapter. Well, before I got the wideband in, to test the wiring out on the new FIP controller I tried starting her up and she did but just had a really low idle. Decided to get the wideband in before worrying about it so after installing the wideband I tried starting at and at first it wouldnt start. I looked at the wideband and it wasnt even getting power so I looked were the previous owner had the power wire coming up the column wired to and turns out he sent it to a fuse on the fuse panel (which had blown) just for a temp. fix, replaced the fuse and the car then began to try to run but would only stay running for a second or two then die, i tried several times and a couple of the times it sounded like it was only firing 1 cylinder, and then on the final attempt smoke came out of the filter on my turbo inlet. Also, wen I installed the wideband, i completely disconnected the o2. Is that kosher or am I supposed to keep that hooked up. Also I tried to take a datalog during all of this but for some reason when I went to look for it, its no where to be found. No im some what concerened about even trying to start it again before I have an idea of what could be going on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elkidmino Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 It sounds like it's rich as hell. The car won't cold-start like a regular car because there is no idle air control valve. You have to put your foot on the gas a little when you start it and let it run like that for a few minutes, once it warms up it'll idle normally assuming your idle screw is adjusted correctly.

I thought there was no idle screw with MPI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
