Just finished a B18C4 conversion into a Facelift EJ9 conversion.
The engine is 90k and came from a running donor car.
It's using a P28 socketed ECU.
The car will turn on FIRST time, but you need to give it a blip on the throttle to help it out, once on if you let of the accelerator it wont idle on its own.
If you hold the revs gently at 1,000rpm it will idle perfectly without an issue and revs freely etc.
Any ideas? First thing that springs to mind is idle control valve or the throttle cable needs tweaking!?
It's also got a "whale *****" induction kit and it had 2x holes for sensors or vac etc. However, we can have only utilised one from the cam cover.
Any ideas whats the second for?
Theres also a VAC pipe off the top of the throttle body. Where is this supposed to go? As im at a loss on finding a location for that!
Lastly, We used the radiator off the MB6 as the EJ9 was dead. Leaking horribly etc. - Now once thats plugged in when you turn the key 2 clicks the fan immediately starts running. Do the wires need swapping over or something? Little odd!!
Thanks!
