Send it also means to send ordnance down range at a target.

I got two codes relating to throttle body one saying it stuck. Also took a few shots of the live data while holding rpm up so it wouldn’t stall. |

Post up numbers at warm idle. Otherwise looks good.
|
How does the exhaust sound and engine sound at say 4,000 rpm? Try holding it there for 10 seconds or so and note the tone. Is it smooth? Does it have hiccups?

Oh, well if you don't have a vacuum leak somewhere then it is likely a bad rebuild. But you need to run it, sometimes the inferior rebuilds need some time to break in to the point that they idle.

I’m quite positive this guy did a good build. He’s done many and I haven’t heard any bad feed back. And I’m pretty sure I’m good for vac. It was sluggish and not very responsive today but yesterday when we bump started it it was all there (response and power). I’m going to start with the throttle body because it Doesn’t cycle open and close when I turn key to on. and it sounds stuck making a squealing or humming noise. What was the cure for your no spark issue? |

The humming sound may be normal. Mine does that too when the key is on and it idles fine. I don't think it cycles when key is turned on either.

Could it be my o2 sensor. I ordered a Denso upstream off amazon but it is throwing a code now. I only have two codes and the car now starts by key but still no idle it’s very rough when I keep it running with the throttle pressed a bit. Also it’s spitting out oily liquid from exhaust and it’s smoking a lot still. Even after having it run a few times already https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...c6b5876a2.jpeghttps://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...dace16f8a.jpeg |
https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...5da696044.jpegShouldn’t a low reading like that mean it should be lean. When it’s spitting oily fluid out the exhaust and seems to be running Rich and boggy Is it normal for 02s11 witch is upstream 02 sensor to be reading in (mA) |

Its very hard to hear the exhaust when your recoding in the car. The little I can hear almost sounds like it's running on one rotor?

Is it normal for 02s11 witch is upstream 02 sensor to be reading in (mA)[/left] The stock wideband sensor measures amperage, not voltage. 0mA=14.7AFR, so everything looks right there. The only thing that comes to mind is still miswired injectors. I know you labelled them and all, but if it's the one thing you haven't revalidated... maybe it's time. Have you pulled the spark plugs and read them? |
Yes I’ve pulled the plugs several times. So just to be 1000% sure I’m pulling everything out down to block and inspecting everything again as I build it back up and we will see where that gets us. Thanks to all who share suggestions. It’s been so much help and we are making progress. |

A good build would fire right up. I know it's hard to swallow, but it is what it is and I have seen it happen a lot with these engines. No builder likes to admit it. All you can do is hope that you can get it running well enough to build some compression and run on it's own. I have seen a few home builds that were very hard to start but they eventually got them running and they lasted a while.

Could the knock sensor be stopping my car from idleing. It seems it could from what I read. |
