So, maybe a sensor is bad, or it's leaking at the point where the air is key pressure. My connection is NOT tight and wiggles side to side on the TB, makes me wonder if that could be my problem. I don't know shit yet cause I just don't know but at least I can share what my problems are as well and if one of us figures it out...
I know that you have to be as frustrated as I am right now, but issue MAY be the TPS, not gonna say it is cause I know not but I have experienced shitty acceleration where I thought my NA setup would kick my ass ugly and the herky jerky bullshit that I hate. The setup seems temperamental but I am willing to stick it out till I figure this out. As far as turbo? I am not worried about that nor am I worried about the 2.4. I have systematically KILLED both with apparent EASE. Funny though, the turbo had more HP. I guess the usable HP comes on right away so it doesn't matter, that and the Supertech Valvesprings allows me to rev to 9k straight power the whole time just building until rev limiter kicks in. I have noticed that I shift once per every two shifts everyone else does while I walk the dog until, of course I got bitten by the law.
Days the acceleration seems lagging, days the herky jerky happens are usually when it's humid. Now, my car just goes well when I just spank it. Doesn't like half acceleration too much at times. so... I think my problem MAY be the TPS. Maybe the setup is just too much for the motor?
