SD> Stalling Problem

[Brian Bauer]

I just finished assembling my 1987 TII Daytona. I
purchased the car as a daily driver with no engine. I
purchased a 2.5 turbo engine for it. I have everything
together, hooked up, and running; however, I am having a
problem. After driving it a little, the engine will die
whenever I come to a stop. It starts right back up with
no problem. It does this even if I push the clutch in
while going down the road, instead of comming to an idle
it will just shut off. Upon a restart, it will idle just
fine until it has been driven a little and I come to
another stop... then it dies again. I also found that if
I give it a good rev right after I push the clutch in,
then it will idle just fine when it is stopped. Does
anyone have any ideas?

It sounds like you havent given the computer enough time to learn how to
idle. Almost all older (pre 90's cars) had issues with idling if they
were fuel injected until you put a few miles on them. My 85 SC has the
same issue. If you unhook the battery, it will do that for about 50
miles or so. It seems to me that if you let the car warm up completely
just idling the first time you reconnect the battery, it helps it learn
a lot faster. Just my 2 cents though.

Either you forgot to hook up the speed/distance sensor or there's a bad
connection there. If your speedo is working, then your sensor is good.

My speedo is not working either. I did hook up the the
sensor, but the speedo didn't work. Last time I rode in
the car, before it was mine, the speedo worked fine. I
used the same transmission and wiring that was in it
previously. I did notice that the wiring for the speed /
distance sensor was spliced. In the box of spare parts I
acquired with the car I also noticed a different style
plug pigtail that had the same two colored wires as the
speed distance sensor plug that was spliced onto the
harness. I didn't question the splice at first, as the
wiring colors on the plug and the harness matched, but I
am starting to think that it could have been wired
incorrectly, especially after seeing a different looking
connector pigtail that was cut off of the harness. Which
harness does the speed / distance sensor connect to?
Right now, it is wired into the same harness that the
reverse light switch, and the transmission ground is
wired. That connects to the main harness by the battery in
an 8 position (2 rows of 4) white colored connector. Is
this correct? I was unaware that problem could be related
to an idle problem which is why I never mentioned it in my
last email. Is there anyway to pinpoint if the wiring or
the speed sensor is bad aside of buying another sensor and
trying that?

Check for codes, I believe its 15 for the speed/distance sensor, or you can
simply turn the ignition on, and push the car (engine not running) And I
believe the check engine light will flash, or come on, if the sensor is
working properly. Something like that.
