It's not all the time.. Only sometimes.. Like this afternoon when someone was watching me come in the driveway and it stalled. Then I started it again and the revs started goin from like 100rpm to 800rpm and then I just kept revving it till i got in the driveway, got out, slammed the door, put the alarm on and left him have his little tantrum.

It used to do it and then that problem was fixed, but I can't remember what it was.

hey erin when u say that the reves were going from 100rpm too 800 rpm do u mean up & down if so thats your TPS :cheers:

you really have to love the inconsistent problems. Especially when they NEVER come up when you drop your car off at the mechanics. :cheers:

I had another weird one with the silvia. It would rev way high like 4500rpm in fifth doing 80 on the freeway sometimes and then after a cold night it would stop. The car would sit in the sun all day and then in the afternoon the problem would be back.

So I screamed something like f**K THIS CAR and bought a 33. Best thing I ever did.

ah no TPS is not hard to replacebut is a l few $ $ $

prob try the subaru upper engine cleaner befor going ahead & replacing it might just be really dirty

ah as for the sugur I would not wish that on my worst enemy it means u have to pull the fuel tank out & clean it + new fuel lines filter & injectors out & cleaned :cheers:

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
