Is the car running without blowing the fuse right away?


Do you have long tube headers? Could have melted the insulation on the O2 sensor wires. Disconnect the TPS and measure the resistance between the Green/Red wire and ground. If the resistance is low, this indicates a short in in the wiring somewhere.

so i am having the same problems with a low idle at stops and it even sometimes dies. could it all be because of that fuse or is that a whole different issue?

ive had longtube headers for about a year and idk i havent checked the fuse again but the car was fine for about a year

Your issue, if you are not throwing codes, is more than likely the IAC, as described at the beginning of this thread.


So is the car running fine now? No CEL's? Just for piece of mind, I would crawl under there and take a peek at the O2 sensor wiring to make sure you don't have anything melting or damaged in any way.

I knew I should have made someone bet me....lol

haha ya that was a goood calll....but even if the o2 sensors were burnt i have the car tuned to turn them off so would that even do nething?

Well no, because the outputs should electrically still be there, it's just that they are ignored by the computer now.

Just check just incase, can't hurt right?

agarr19

Ya ill check it out where do I look...right by the headers?

devongarver

Ya just start at the 02 sensors, and follow the wiring back as far as you can.

ok ill check it out when it stops thunder storming!

Update?
