    2.7i truble shoot

    Ok so I put a I head on my car, and everything together but the pulse sensor. Is that a big deal. My car will idle fine, but any time I give it gas it dies. Could this also be a bad afm??? need help. plz and I just noticed I spelt trouble wrong

    The pulse sensor on the plug wires is recommended but it won't keep it from revving up as it should.

      What exactly besides the I head have you put on? For a budget stroker you also need the I intake, throttle body, engine harness, AFM, DME, ignition wires & Cylinder ID sensor, and crank position sensor. Missing just the Cylinder ID sensor won't cause, but an intake leak or missing other parts of the budget stroker kit wil.
      The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

        Hey man,

        The pulse sensor should only stop you from starting it if I remember right.

        Was this done with the entire "i" top end and ECU? If you want we can swap my AFM over to your car and see what happens.

                            I have been running the I one. but i put the eta one on just to see if there would be a diffrents. but im running the I one.
                            But I think the I one is crap or something. i can see the flap open and close but it still runs like shit.
