Car is struggling to rev from idle when you accelerate normally to spirited, But it will get past 1000ish rpm if you feather it, and then is fine so long as the revs don’t drop again. Idles fine. Plugs come out wet as after a few min. 

Things changed are:
CAS, ARM and fuel reg from a engine that was confirmed working 2 years ago

Injectors have been reconditioned 

ECU has no codes

Where to from here?

Video of the issue can be seen here

Sounds like AFM or TPS issue.

What are the voltages at the TPS like?

Have you done any diagnostics other than slapping parts at it?

Checked for codes on the standard ecu. But not much else. What’s the procedure for TPS voltages? What else should I be trying to diagnose?

 

cheers

Start with a multimeter, and see if you're getting power at the TPS. There should be a manual for your car somewhere on these forums and it'll have the info for what closed TPS signal voltage is, and how it should sweep to full throttle.

Same as for other sensors / valves.

 

Have you checked things like your base timing etc? See if anything looks amiss there too?

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
