replaced power steering pump now trouble idling

**Freddy** · 03-09-2013

so today i replaced my power steering pump and got everything back together first time with no problemsand didnt end up with any magical parts that didnt have a home. but i started it up to put more anti freeze in and let it idle for ten minutes or so and it ran fine so i put the tire on and let it off the jack and got it and started to drive. i was a block or so from my house and turned the corner and no problems. as i come to a stop sign my rpms went down to 500 or so and then back up to 1500 and fluttered for 10 or 15 seconds. i proceeded down the road and come to the next stop sign and it just died.so i started it up and it was fluttering again but didnt stop. so i brought it back home and it ran fine at the only stop sign on my way home. i pulled in the garage and it died and now the way it will stay running is if the throttle is held down. any ideas?

Unplug the MAF sensor and see if will run on its own.

still had to give it gas o start it then it fluttered between 1000 and 1500 rpm. shut it off and turned started it again and it would stay runnin without me givin it gas

Vacuum leak? Maybe you bumped a hose

**Freddy** · 03-09-2013

p0101 and p0102 googled em and cant make sense of them they are talkin maf sensor but i didnt mess with that. i unhooked the battery but thats all i could think of but that shouldn't mess with it. there was a vacuum line on top that i moved but it wasnt cracked or anything

scratch that found a little crack...now i need help identifyin the part i got a 99 gtp the part is right it the middle of the backside of the supercharger. it mounts to the alt support bar it has a hose on the front side of the engine that goes about 2 inches and then curls back around towards the back

comes out of the front of the map sensor i think

**Scottydoggs** · 03-09-2013

sounds like the evap. its on the right rear of a sc'ed motor, and the map is to the left, standing at the bumper looking over the blower.

**Scottydoggs** · 03-09-2013

oh i forgot to ask, you found the wire clipped to the p/s pump? and un hooked it before ripping it off the rear knock sensor? no code for that, just thought id ask.

**Freddy** · 03-09-2013

there were no wires on it just a rubber line and a metal line and it was the evap canister purge sol vlv line. i changed it and still the same stuff

any other ideas?

**Scottydoggs** · 03-10-2013

you doubled checked all the vac line routing to the diagram posted?

the T's like to break and leak, under the sc snout

**Freddy** · 03-12-2013

thanks i already found it but thats where it was and none of the auto part stores in town had the right sized t's so i jus jerry rigged it like everything else on the car

**Scottydoggs** · 03-12-2013

i got these cute little T's from advance auto, 2 came in the pack, they are perfect at 3 bucks.

**Freddy** · 03-14-2013

i used them but i could only get em in a variety pack of 18 million an they didnt have any line small enough so i had to buy a pack of 4 little 2 in pieces that was 5 bucks
