1999 Dodge Ram Only runs with Brake Booster Hose disconnected from Manifold
Hello, I just finished up putting my engine back in after changing my main and rod end bearings, new timing chain and sprockets, intake manifold gaskets, plentum gaskets, new distributor cap and rotor, and water. My initial startup resulted with the engine running very rough. The engine now starts up nicely, but will die out idle speed. I can keep the engine going if I tap on the gas. I hooked up my scan tool and I get a spark advanced reading of 0 when I let the engine idle. It will increase when I tap the gas.
I check the voltage of my TPS this morning. With the throttle closed, I am getting 12.9 . When it is wide open I am getting about 75.5 . With the sensor disconnected, I get 100. I am thinking this sensor may be the problem. Is there an idle relearn process I need to follow since the engine was pulled for 2 months and just put back in? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
