So I made an interesting discovery, my vacuum sits at 10 when at idle. Normally its around 20-22 vacuum, could anyone help direct me to the source of my problem? Do I have a vacuum leak? I do cameras not cars I mean I'm pretty proficient with a car but you get the point. Also, where is my TPS so I can check to see if it's loose.

Also check your throttle body to see if its staying partially open.... A bad throttle body will throw all kinds of codes.

Ok stupid question here
Ok I got the stage 2 kit I have the hub 2.8 pulley the five pulley mounting screws the oversized tensioner pulley 60lbs injectors a new injector harness NGK v power spark plugs I also went ahead and got the dual by pass end plate
Ok so what else do I need I know a new mounting gasket for the blower and a second coolant reservoir for the heat exchanger....but is there a gasket behind the dual by pass endplate?

the gaskets are reusable....the blower-mannifold is a metal gasket with a molded in rubber seal, and the endplate is an oring style seal. you should not NEED to replace either of them unless u damage them.

If you do come on the 31st, know that I've never switched a tensioner pulley before (but I heard it's relatively easy). Hopefully someone else will be there that has done it before just in case.

Agreed, I had my blower off at least 5 or 6 times while I owned the car and never replaced the gasket.

Also, from my understanding the TPS is inside the TB. The one at the pedal is just a pedal position sensor I thought... But I could be wrong. If you are having an issue with the TPS and now your vac is out of whack they may be related.
I think you have to do some grinding of the tensioner. I didnt think the oversized ones worked just by installing it.

What code do you have that is telling you need to switch the TPS?

P2135 - Throttle Position (TP) Sensor 1-2 Correlation
Hmm I guess they do call the pedal sensor a throttle position sensor by the wording of this.
Something is going wrong with mine too but I am getting a P0121... I dont know why either. I logged all the damn throttle/pedal sensors and all are active with me pushing on the pdeal.. ugh.

I threw that p0121 once before too but haven't since then. But I also haven't gotten on it like that like I did the first time it happened. Happy to be tuning tomorrow to get my car close to being done. anyone else going to be going to the pavilions tomorrow?
Ok. That is what I thought you were hinting. Just had to be clear.

After reading up on some stuff I read somewhere on here that TB cleaner actually hurts the sensor so I just gotta find the damage and look up a part number then start shopping!
