hey all, been a while since I have been on here, but ive been pretty busy! Just recently got an S13 KA24DE motorset and swapped it into a 1993 hardbody, but im having some issues. well first, here are a couple pics:
Anyways, it seems to run pretty good, i think the engine has close to 300k on it, but i was told it was bought from an older guy that just dailied and babied it. fair enough, got a pretty good deal on it all.
BTW, yes, I did search. I set the TPS correct, i have new plugs, i ohmed out all the spark plug wires and injectors.
So in neutral, it seems to rev up pretty good, however at idle it is missing slightly. trying to adjust timing via rotating the distributor doesnt seem to do anything, even with brand new NGK plugs. when I drive it, on partial throttle it hesitates and misses a bit, but if Iput the pedal all the way down, it seems to run smooth (even though a bit slow lol). when i take my foot off the pedal, and let it coast in gear, it backfires like crazy (full 3" exhaust with 2 resonators in-line). However, I was messing around with the TPS today, and found that if I disconnect the TPS, it seems to run better, and doesnt backfire at all when driving.
I set the TPS at idle to 0.49 volts, which is in spec, but could the TPS still be bad?
I also ordered a new O2 sensor and new timing kit, since im not sure when it was last changed.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
