alright so i wasnt sure bout this -> engine problems

Manifold temp seems off, so does the 10% throttle angle at idle seems it was adjusted to idle higher, map volts should be closer to 1 volt at idle and not max out untill rev limit, tps should be 5v at wot, injectors are slowing down, stock Integrator should not change much at all, odd BLK LRN cell.

Throttle position sensor, speed control circuit error in limp mode??

For all the modification between the years I am suprised you don't have a custom programmed computer.

btw - realized i never told anyone what was wrong with this.

i found the solution finally. after paying 2 mechanics close to 400.00 (together) and spending three months on the project, i was under the hood while the engine was running and my shoulder tapped the DIS coils. caused the whole car to die.

i was like..ok.. and turned the car back on and while it was running tapped the coils again, and it sputtered. i figured i might have to replace the coils, so i turned off the engine and set to taking them off to test them, when i noticed that one of the screws that holds the whole assembly down (cause i had to modify it and make a special set of brackets) and gives it a ground was loose. the nut that held the screw tight had fallen off. so that everytime the car hit a mild bump, or i floored it, the DIS coils would move off their ground, short circuiting the whole assembly.

after getting another nut and reattaching the screw, the car ran beautifully (as well as can be expected anyway with the high advance)

thanks for all the advice ppl i love this site heh.

I was reading through the replies thinking everyone had taken some serious crack or somthing.

The problme was described as starting when the intake swap was performed, meaning that this would be a mechanical issue, or at least caused by some mechanical change. I was leaning towards something in the valve train, since you did say you collapsed some lifters, etc, I'd assume by accidentally swapping the pushrods (I still don't understand how people can do that).

But the problem you found does make sense, glad hear you found it.
