CarlosFley Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 I'm just a newbie bro, but when my RPM would cut off at 3,000, it wouldn't go any higher, it was my MAF-S. I had recently replaced my air filter and I apparently hadn't connected it back correctly, so althought the meter was reading, it wasn't reading correctly. I just disconnected it and connected it right, and she boosted and fired up fine. But of course, you had a much more serious problem, so I don't know. Just my input. Sorry if it doesn't help.

Shelby Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 unplug the sec inj clip and see it acts the same way,, if it does it's poor connection to the sec inj or dirty terminals on inj or clip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technology Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 Maybe you melted the idle control motor. See if it's deformed from the fire. Also possible that you melted the Throttle Postion Sensor, in which case, you're better off just getting all new sensors or even a whole intake manifold setup and swap all the parts to yours. When you replace any of the sensors or motors on the intake manifold, you need to recalibrate them. There are procedure manuals in the FAQ section on this site. Also, it's WARM, not WORM. A worm is a squishy boneless creature that lives in dirt. Warm a temperature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAinsworth Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Warm a temperature. I can't believe you posted an incomplete sentence, you're slipping. Jimmy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucw458 Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Last time I had this problem it was weak spark. Plug wires, cap and rotor, coil, distributor and ignitor all could have been damaged by fire and all can cause weak spark. All of those should be checked and replaced if found defective.

What would this site be like without a grammar nazi? Chaos, I tell you, chaos! I would only replace an item if you test it and it doesn't pass the test. I chased a problem around with fistfulls of cash and new parts, replacing all the ignition components, a MAF-Translator, etc. only to find out that it was a melted jet valve. Don't buy your way out of problems. Solve them first, then buy yourself into new problems. That's the American way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
