Could be the throttle body is bad

soros151

Could be, already gave up on this. I have this kit now laying here until I see what to do with it.

deathbyc4

could be that the ecu not used to the larger throttle body, and is not running right. just a thought.

soros151

Then why is it that there are other working units in tCs over at California? The first one did work.

deathbyc4

broken canooter valve, or a loose nut between the sterring wheel and the seat. It's probably just a bad unit. is the throttle motor the same dimensions and mounts as the ones on the tC TB?

soros151

That's what the kit is for, as for the plug, is EXACTLY like the OEM unit.

Would the OBD II port on the car help at all?

deathbyc4

i meant the contoller itself not the plug. If you could swap it for the bad one from your tC TB.

soros151

That was one of the options, but drilling of the ribbets is neccesary for the swap, I didn't want to risk part of my TB in the process.

Keeshwah

For diagnostic purposes couldn't you use this to help determine what exactly is failing?

If you want to sell it pm me, I might give it a shot

hey maybe the ecu its not used to so much air going in and you need a fuel upgrade or something you should have gotten a wideband air fuel ratio to see what was going on for those 3-4 seconds thats jus my opinion tho

soros151

I have a wideband, and during those seconds it goes right along the stock 14.7 the ECU adapts for.

hope you get this fixed and working!!

Did you reconnect your intake tube to your throttlebody before you started the car? If you didnt then the car will not idle because the computer cannot read the air going to the throttlbody because it hasnt passed through the air sensor. Im not trying to be a smartass. I'm just trying to help you troublshoot because im very interested in this mode too.

please try it again or contact the company to see if you could get some help from them! could you try with another RX8 TB maybe a friends RX8 can lend you for a few to see if it was a bad TB.
