95 v6 with a split port swap questions

**punkbomb138** · 05-24-2011, 01:38 AM

hi guys i have the motor in and it runs (kinda) here is where the questions come in.

car starts and runs but doesnt idle above 5-600 rpm and dies.

also while i got you guys looking will the 95 cruise cable work or do i have to get the 99-00 one?

car and motors in question and what me and steve have done.

95 3.8 all sensors removed and reused on the 99-00 motor now im not sure which motor it is because i was told 99 but the tag on the drivers valve pan says 00. we timed it to tdc on both engines and pulled the cam sensor. reused 00 crank sensor never took it off and i reused the 00 coil.

had to extend coil pack wiring and the tps wiring as well as the coolant temp sensor also the one under the throttle body had to be extended. all wires were soldered and heat shrunk and verified to have good connection and wired correctly.

few more questions i moved the big vacuum hose to the drivers side big port for the vacuum manifold on the fender well. and used a smaller one for the fuel pressure regulator on the same side and plugged the rest except the one under the throttle body that one is hooked up to what looks like a purge valve it has a wired connection to it a hose in and one out. is that right?

dpfe and egr have been removed and plugged. i obviously have a check engine light but cant check it just yet and i have no tuner as of right now.

ideas thoughts suggestions?

anyone happen to have a link to a 99 and 95 vacuum diagram? The ones in Google are for either a 2.3 or a 5.0

thanks for the help guys. turns out if you plug up all 6 injectors it will actually run better. anyways does anyone have the vacuum diagram for a 99 3.8? more importantly i need to know where the hose under the tb goes too.
