rickpyle13 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Hey guys, I finished transplanting an engine into my 96r50, and I'm almost ready to be taking it to the street. Currently, I think I'm having an idle issue, that I don't know if it's affecting my one other problem, bank 1 sensor 2 o2 sensor code. I messed with the idle screw/IAC thing, and at the moment it's screwed in clockwise as far as it will go, and I'm still not satisfied with my idle. I also don't appear to be having any vacuum leaks. Anyone have any pointers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Sensor 2 would be the downstream O2, pretty sure all that one does is monitor catalyst function so I doubt it's that. Is it idling too high, dying at idle, what are we working with here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Need more info. Is it idling too high? Low? Surging? It should be 750ish rpm when warm. I say ish because the service manual says give or take 50rpm. That o2 won't affect idle. But you will fail emissions because of it.

rickpyle13 Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 I've got a high idle, although I did put my stock airbox back on it and I think it had helped, need to get back to it later and check a couple of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickpyle13 Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 So my idle is fixed i think. Now my problem is when I try to back it up, it won't move until half throttle, then jerks backward. My brake shoes had chatter marks but I can spin the wheels by hand if they aee off the ground. Did I do my brakes incorrectly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickpyle13 Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 Also, I haven't tried to move it too much right now,but driving forward seems to be much less affected, if at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Does sound like something in the brakes didn't go back together right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickpyle13 Posted December 3, 2015 Author Share Posted December 3, 2015 So it's not my brakes. I jacked it up and put it on reverse, the wheels didn't spin. Took the wheels off, my drums didn't spin.Took my drums off, and my stud flanges still didn't spin. But yet again, putting it into drive they spin just fine. Anyone know why drive works just fine, but reverse gets locked up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Sounds transmission related. Did you top it off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickpyle13 Posted December 3, 2015 Author Share Posted December 3, 2015 Will check in the morning, hey I was thinking about this today; for an accurate tranny fluid check, do I warm the vehicle up first, or check it when cold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 It's best to do it hot after driving a while, idling in park. Doesn't sound like you have that luxury though so cold or warm. There's marks on the dip stick for each. Fluid should be pink, not brown or smell burned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickpyle13 Posted December 3, 2015 Author Share Posted December 3, 2015 Okay, will check back in tomorrow, thanks Kingman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickpyle13 Posted December 4, 2015 Author Share Posted December 4, 2015 Was very low on fluid, added close to a gallon. Still didn't change my gear changing problem. Another symptom to note, it currently idles forward while in N, just like it were in D. Transmission cable linkage looks good, will check connectors next.
