Check the basics first. Gas, a good battery, spark plugs, wires, etc.

all that has been done man, and i think i got someone to lemme take a look at their ti today hopefully. we'll see how that goes. where you from?

Do you have a remade key? Or do any of your keys look somewhat new? Because every car key has a chip in it. If the car does not read a chip, then the car is automatically set to erase the CPU's data, preventing the car from doing anything at all. You'd have to take it to the dealership to get it reprogrammed, and it's very costly even though it takes them 5min, and a couple of hours to test it.

car starts now, turns out i only hand tightened the upper manifold NOOOOOOOB! but my car still had the bad sensors. i'm looking to replace the icv or maf since my car keeps idleing really really weird up and down up and down don't see any broken vacum hose's or anything like that but i cant find the problem :confused:

Ever tried giving it to a mechanic so they can spot the troubles for you? Then you can work on fixing it after.

I'm in Austin. If you ever come here, be sure to stop by! I like to go cruising, so you can join me.

i might be up in austin in a month or so, i don't really wanna take it to a mechanic because they'll charge me 50 bucks just to even look at it...hopefully it's not a head gasket...I'm also afraid they will say that and then all hell breaks loose...

[Maverix]

I know a good mechanic that could take a look at your ti. I'm not sure if they will charge you or not. They hardly charge me anything cause they know me pretty well.

[rookie_98]

are you in el paso? because a drive to austin would pretty much be out of the question cost wise lol. pm me with your number if you are and i'll make sure to give you a call

[Maverix]

I live in Austin. But if in the future you ever come down here, call me at 512-903-9131.
