Hi Guys! ![Smile :) :)](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png)
I need some help please. I Have a problem with my engine idle.
I removed the engine from a Lexus LS400 & transplanted into a project car.
Now the thing refuses to idle at all! I actually blocked off the airflow into the idle control valve & soon realised that was a mistake so i connected a pipe & ran it just inside the throttle body mouth. With this arrangement it starts & will run but at around 2000 RPM (by holding the throttle open by hand). As soon as it drops below about 1600 RPM the engine just stalls straight away. ANY IDEAS WHAT THE PROB MAY BE ??????
The engine was running fine in the donor car, I know that because i had been using it for six months prior to the removal.![Confused :confused: :confused:](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png)
Also, the power steering pump started making a hell of a noise as soon as i filled it with fluid & still making that noise now, Again, any ideas???????
