Don't give up, he he he.


Choke is not fully close....hi hi hi, sorry, i had to say this one.


Mmmm..... Can you swap the ECU, AFM? with your frind van!


Here what i have seen with faulty Fuel Pressure, BLACK smoke in the back!!!


Can you try/swap other plugs wire..., are the intake boot (the S one)
sealed, no air leak...Fuel pressure OK...


Just for the fun of it, unplug and plug the ECU a few time, just to make
sure the connection is ok.


Good luck!!!

Well, I changed the temp 2 sensor and cleaned a few more grounds, but no
help. I actually got it to idle on its own a little after about 4 starts and
revving the gas, but it would surge and go down slowly-if you put any gas on
it and then back off, it would stay at about 2000 rpm rather than dropping
back to idle.


I checked the resistance on the old temp 2 sensor and the air intake sensor
(temp 1- terminals 1 and 4 on the MAF), and the resistance was approximately
equal and within range for the conditions 2.5-3.5K @ 69 degrees.
Measurements were performed with a crappy analog meter though so they could
still be suspect.


Any other ideas? I'm leaning towards the fuel pressure regulator??? Thanks!
Adam
