hey all,
i swapped in a motor with auto harness into a 5-speed car. now the car only starts when i spray starter fluid into the intake pipe. i tested for fuel pressure and that was good, obviously i have spark since the engine starts, EVERYTHING was in working condition on the automatic car before the swap. i also triple checked my grounds and any other electrical connections i could possibly think of, efi fuse is good and cam timing is dead on.
the engine will start but it will only idle for a few seconds before it dies. at first i thought i was having a fuel problem since it only wants to start with starter fluid, but when i tested for fuel, there is indeed fuel going to the rail.
also i was getting a code 51. did a search and everything points to the tps. well, even if i need to replace/recalibrate the tps, the engine would still start and idle, right?
any help is mucho appreciated!!!
