problem with ported upper installation. HELP!!! **FIXED!!!**
Ok yesterday me and jeremy (Horse) put my ported upper on my car. We got everything back together and started the car up... started fine then went down to where it idles and started sputtering and dropping to like 200 rpms and eventually died. Well we looked under the hood and realized we forgot to reconnect the egr pipe to the egr valve... so after an annoying fix with that we finally got it put into place and started it again. It did the same thing. This time though there's a high pitch whistling sound and itll sit there and idle rough for a while, but takes longer to actually stall the car. So yesterday i was driving it cause i thought id just need to keep the idle RPMs up so the car wouldnt die, but as im driving it i would be driving and then lose all repsonse from the throttle... it even stalled out on me once so i just took the car home to let it sit and drove my dads the rest of the night. IM not really sure whats wrong here... the only thing that me and jeremy could come up with is that maybe the metal gakset that goes between the EGR valve and the upper intake is shot and is creating a bad exhaust leak so im going to try replacing that today. Does anyone else have any suggestions on what might be wrong? Im pretty sure ive connected all the vacuum lines but Ill be double checking that today as well. Any ideas?
