What is the mod from the 2.8 12v to a 2.9 in the upper intake manifold. I searched it but only up with just buying a 2.9 euro intake.

This is OBD1 where the TPS #7 is replacable and is not motorized. -

Ok if you look inside the door there will be a manufacture sticker. if your car was made after 6/95 you most likely have an OBD2. My motor code is an AAA engine which is OBD1. I have the two volume Bentleys for our cars from 95-97 so Well get it fixed okay?! Good! Here is a basic picture of an OBD2 motor which have an ISV valve(idle Air Control Valve). OBD1 has one to up to 97. Below is OBD2 -

Ok, 96 and up is OBD2. With OBD2 you can perform a Throttle body adaptation. With OBD1 you can unplug the TPS and see if it runs better but the idle will be high like 2500-3k. What Iam finding out is that because I dont have a signal to the ECM is that the sinal wire has a break in it somewhere in the harness but thats for another day. Let me know what year you have to better assist you! -

NGK's are a good pick. Just search your car for spark plugs for that engine and get NGK. -

Check your TPS to make sure it's sending the right signal. I had a recent issue with mine as well with a brand new TPS. Is yours OBD1?! Mine has 268 cams with chip and when in VCDS measuring blocks the TPS wasnt showing a signal to the ECU. I was getting major hesitation drop off unlessI floored it. Worse on the highway where in at 2500-3000 rpm it would just fall on its face as though it was starving for fuel. It was only when I gave it a punch of throttle that it would climb out of it. Once I unplug the connector it ran like a rapped Ape. However the idle jumped up to 2500 then dropped down
