Post by gavin padiachy »

Hi guys

Running dicktator std , oem dizzy, on startup it will not idle have to rev it a few times. Then it idles
I checked the purple wire is intact and changed the temp switch on the head but it still won't idle.
Then when the engine is hot it miss fires !

I also found voltage affects hows the car idles, check your batter an make sure its supplying a good constant charge.

Could it be your pal having swopped your Dictator TP100 for a crappy oem old one?

That car is turbo. Tuned on manifold pressure only, does not even look at tps. Dictator can only look at one or the other.

Sorry, I should rephrase, Gav, around the time the tps got swopped, you don't know whatelse was tampered with.
