Decided to create a thread for this
Tl;dr electrical issues please help
Alright sorry for the long post but I need to give as much detail here as I can
*inhales*
My cars been down for 2 weeks. Got a JMF and had a leaky gasket so got TIG gaskets from Adapted Performance (amazing) and fixed it. In the process tho, I’m a dumbass and didn’t know you needed to push down ASWELL as undo the red clip for the throttle body connector. (I would only undo clip) So I’ve just been yeeting it thinking mine was messed up. Ended up needing a new throttle body from Shelby Salyers because the tab on mine got shaved. As well, I noticed my connector had pieces of it missing, (whether that relates to the following idk) and wouldn’t seat on the new throttle body. It would just kinda bounce off. So now I realize my connector is also boofed somehow
So, I bought a new tb pigtail ( https://www.bmotorsports.com/shop/product_info.php/products_id/4478 ) I found on JTs thread and that seats great on the new TB. Just needed to wire. Here’s where the fun begins. At first I just use crimp connectors. Made sure to match the correct wires. Gave them all a good tug, all of them weren’t going anywhere. Used heat shrink then Wrapped them all individually then all together after that. Plugged her in and SHE STARTED GREAT. Idled to temp and I drove it down the block to a nice road, did a pull, as I was coming back into my neighborhood p2100 (throttle actuator circuit open) shit sounded like a pile of garbage. Like a cam but 2x speed since I was moving. Was able to turn it on again and drive into my garage. Well fuk me. So today I received some self soldering connectors and redid the wiring. All seemed good, pulled and tugged they weren’t going anywhere. Solder melted. All looked fine and I started it for like 20 seconds and it idled fine. Turned it off because I wanted to hear a cold start on my new exhaust, turned it on and after 10 seconds p2100 came back. Well fuck my ass. I don’t know what else to do.
*exhales*
I REALLY don’t want to get a new harness but I’m kind of running out of ideas. It’s just one god damn plug, like wtf could I have done. No other codes other than VTCS and egr related cause those are gone. Only p2100.
Is there a fuse related to the throttle body that maybe is blown? But wouldn’t that mean it wouldn’t work at all. Idk any ideas are helpful at this point.
Also just entertain me, what would need to come off in order to swap the harness with the motor in the bay lmao
Lmk if I need to take anymore pictures or need to provide more info cause I’m sure I’m missing something
Here you can see the right side of the connector is chipped off and the red clip was gone, I found a new clip but it did nothing. (Whether or not this contributed to it not seating idk)
here’s the first time I wired it
here’s the second
Also have a video of how it sounds. Sweet cam lmao
