Hello!

Here is my Issue:

I have been driving the car for ~6000 miles with the SC. I had a tune down ~2000 miles ago and it went very well, the car was running great! About 300 miles ago, the wiring to my wideband melted, so I purchased a new sensor. I just installed it yesterday. Immediately after the install, I started the car and it began to have some problems.

1. It seems like it tries to idle at almost 2000 RPM
2. It will NOT idle. If I come to a stop light or even just “Clutch In” on the highway, it stalls. Bad. Wideband reads like a 19+ at “idle”. at 2000 RPM it “idles” at a 14.2.

The only other thing I touched yesterday was my catch can, and I drained it.

I really really need some input and feedback on this one, that car is my transportation, period. I hate looking like a retard starting my car again at every stop light…

I checked as many vacuum lines as I could get to, and saw no issues… made sure the Catch Can was good, and it is, cleaned my MAF… I dont know, nothing seems to help. I just unhooked the battery now. I am hoping that resetting the ECU might do something.

Yeah… So I reset the ECU and its still fucked up… Pulled the intake and all piping, and I just cleaned the Throttle Body (didnt look bad though) and checked my Vac hoses. Nothing looked wrong. I left the battery unhooked for a bit longer. Ill try starting it in a few.
