The only code I am getting is P0121 Load Monitoring (Air Flow to throttle angle) Fault - Value not Plausible. Fault Present and Static.
When I start up the car, it idles fine, but as soon as I give it a little gas, the rpms increase and stay there even after releasing the pedal. Touch the pedal too hard, and it surges. It went up to 4k RPM and had to shut it off. I was able to clamp the IACV hose and touch the pedal just enough to get to 2500 RPM so I could do the break in. Break in went very smoothly. 30 mins, 195F, 18psi oil (though this seems half as what it should be?), 2500 rpm, clean exhaust, drained oil and looked only slightly darker than new
What I've done
- Live data on the TPS shows it going from 0-70% (WOT) with linear progression, so I believe the TPS is ok?
- Unplugged MAF and IACV, no change.
- The throttle body, IACV, and MAF was thoroughly cleaned before all this, so I can't imagine its sticking, but I'll need to be double check this (the throttle cable fully closes, but I haven't looked inside yet)
- I resetted the adaptive values before the initial startup, so maybe the computer just needs to relearn its shit?
- live data shows Desired Idle RPM is always the same as current RPM. (increases when pedal is touched)
Could it be a vacuum leak? I can't imagine a leak could give the engine enough air to get to 4k rpm? I checked all the vacuum hoses, visually they look good, and used a new intake gasket w/ copper gasket spray.
