  1. Assembled everything and still no luck, however i did notice this when i put the ignition on but dont turn the key over the tb works perfectly but once i turn on the engine it stops working and for some weird reason now my obd wont connect to the ecu so I'm thinking there must be a blown fuse bc all works good until i turn over the key and run the engine and after unplugging the battery the obd doesnt seems to work properly now I'm going to cook but once i finish ill check all the fuses
  2. Any ideas of the tb electric motor being locked?
  3. Here are a couple of pictures of the state of the car is all stock including paint job. Btw for reason i disconnected the battery dont know why but now im having issues with the tb motor and a cell light so now as im typing im also cleaning it and lubricating absolutely everything from inside to outside piece by piece ill give answers soon
  4. of course i will keep u guys updated in the next couple of days also the car start fine even when hot just the hesitation when hot
  5. according the the manual i till have 30k before replacing it or 2 more years but im pretty sure ill do those 30k sooner than expected plus there a lot of build up inside the cylinders i don't know if that has anything to do. but i been driving like a maniac for a couple of days and it haves improved a little
  6. sorry i didn't detailed that, so the timing belt im not replacing it due to the fact that i do have history of it plus im a mechanic my self for vw audi though but i always wanted this car, that's a good advice ill do that change the CTS and also did cleaned the vvti solenoid and mesh it looked not new but barely any oil staining and no dirt or slush what so ever
  7. Hi Guys Just wanted to let you know that im new on the club, also i just bought an IS200 about 2 week ago with 370K here in Spain, the car is in mint condition However the owner when sold it to me let me know that the engine felt sluggish when hot after he have it parked for about 6 months i did a full service except timing belt seems fine to me still but new plugs, oil, cleaned the throttle body by taking it of the car and cleaning it deeply, we don't have a maf only a temp sensor and a map which i also cleaned, checked for bacuum leaks and nothing and after driving it it has improved a little bit but still if you floor it when hot you notice some hesitation and vibration like if it had a misfire but no code, also the owner told me about replacing the cats bc he thought they were bad so i took the manifold out, cut the precat and took them out, the 1 one for cyl 1 to 3 was missing like a 1/3rd of the core and the second one was intact but took it out also, putted the bacuum on the side were the y pipe connect to see if any of the remains of the cat was loose in there but nothing came out, now the car sound even better and has a bit more of power but still hesitates when hot when floored between 2k and 3.5k like a misfire but no codes what so ever just the normal catalityc below threshole bank 1 but there are no precat on either side just the main one so i don't have any idea, however i haven unplugged the battery for the famous reset of the ECU that i see everywhere so what should i do? and the car idles perfectly just that hesitation when hot if i floor it before it gets to temp it drives perfectly.
