Car starts but doenst run!!!

[MrXzUbErAnT]

ive been reading these forums for quite a while but havnt posted, but finally somethings wrong and i have no clue of whats the problem....well heres whats wrong.......


well my 92 accord has recently had a vaccum leak which which was due to a leak in the intake manifold gasket....so i replaced it (did everything correctly from using gasket sealent to tighting, etc. ) well after i assembled everything and tried to start it and it did indeed start but it had a very low idle...below 500 rpm, i tried to rev it alittle to get some gas in it and it just died....it took a few retries to start up again but it still has the same problem (low idle and undriveable)....everytime i push the throttle it jus dies (it sounds like its sucking to much air) .....well i let it rest overnight and tried to restart it the next day and it still idles real low (below 500) and when i push the throttle it chokes and dies....i dont see how all of a sudden it wont run when all i did is switch gaskets......plz help, any advice is much appreciated thnx in advance

[alb_accord]

check all vacume lines. check the vacume line that goes in the back of the whole intake body.(drivers side)

[NoSloCB7]

Check to make sure the TPS is set to factory specs....you could have moved it when you pulled the TB...

[MrXzUbErAnT]

all vaccum lines are good with no leaks.......how do i check the tps specs?

[MrXzUbErAnT]

ok found out that my tps is rivited down so that means it has factory settings....so i think i dont have to mess with it....and also dont think its a sensor cuz theres no check engine light......plz help if u have any advice....feels like im the only one with a not running cb7....thnx

[MrXzUbErAnT]

bump plz help......still have the same problem

[ACCORDianate]

Check for loose or broken or disconnected vacuum hoses. Make sure your gasket is sealing.

[MrXzUbErAnT]

all lines are connected, everything is sealed (sprayed shitload of cleaner to test for leaks) im thinking it might be the tps because it was working before i replaced the gasket and I did move the throttle body backwards to gain access to the gasket....anyone else have any ideas?

[accordztech]

did u reconnect the red vacumn line...

oh and why did u use gasket sealer on the intake manifold gasket...you arent supposed to, though im not sure if that is bad...

egr stuff plugged in?

[91AccordLX]

hey BTW where does that red cloth like vacuum hose go? i noticed mine is not connected anywhere from the TB...and how many different spelling forms are VACUUM are in this thread?

[MrXzUbErAnT]

damn just changed the fuel filter ad clean iac..........still no luck....so i checked that its getting fuel and spark....im still thinking its the TPS!!! a guy is willing to sale me one for a hundred buckz but i dont want to buy it if it isnt the problem.....anyone no if the tps were to go bad, would it throw a code?

[92EXACCORD]

Check Everything to do with the Ignition Could be anything really. Check Your air filter Plugs Wires Cap Rotor Coil Everything Just to be Sure Check Every Plug that you un did. Some won't throw a code to set of the engine light.

[91AccordLX]

yes the TPS sensor will throw a code when it goes bad, or if there is a problem with it.

[MrXzUbErAnT]

all my connections, wires all connected........ when i push the gas it feels like its bogging out....i also checked the fuel injection (all of them are making the clicking noise)

[91AccordLX]

well a friend of mine has a contour, and when he gases it it bogs down as well....it sounds like your not getting enough air
