foxgap Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Now that the Loyale is running much better I thought I would clear up some of the little things that are going on. The bog is just when I pull out of the driveway at low speed. Ya have to mash the throttle to get the car moving. After a few moments when the RPMs build the bog goes away. What do you all think? TPS? Little bugger won't throw a code. Thanks, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Olsen Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 yeah mine does the same thing.... i unplugged the TPS and had no effect on the drive or bogg.... i am thinking it is totaly dead .... i did learn that it is a bugger to remove the TPS ... i ended up pulling the throttle body off just to pull the sensor... i took it apart to try and clean the inside, it didn't have any effect. anyone have a used TPS that works??? for cheep?? dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 if you want to get to the TPS swing the alternator out of the way so you can get to it with a screwdriver. just take out the bolt on the side, loosen the long bolt, swing it up, leave the wires connected.

NoahDL88 Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Check your timing, make sure that you're at 20 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWet Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Is this bog literally when you pull our of your driveway on startup? I have noticed with my SPFI that it has a momentary off-idle bog every morning, occurring within 1 minute of startup and pretty much first time I take it off idle (as in pullin out of my driveway into traffic). It goes completely flat for 1-2 seconds, then comes alive and behaves itself until the next start after sitting for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Olsen Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 no.... it is basicly really sluggish and no power at anything below 2600 rpm... i can't complain i got the car for $200 out of pocket... i pretty much shift it like a manual to keep the rpm's up. it is a 92 loyal 4wd about 118,000 miles on it... it also has the low oil pressure after warm up issue, once it is hot the oil pressure at idle is maybe 10psi... next oil change i'll switch to castrol 20w50... thanks dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthWet Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 10psi at hot idle is good. Check timing; you have to connect green diagnostic connectors to get it right, and lots of mechanics don't know to do this. Otherwise, fresh tuneup parts, especially spark plugs.

Just had the car tuned, but I will have the timing checked again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
