YEAH YOU ARE RIGHT. I GUESS I COULD ADJUST IT DOWN A LITTLE. I BOUGHT THE CAR AT THE FL. POLICE AUCTION. IT WAS A TROOPER CAR. THE TPS HAD NEVER BEEN TAKEN OFF BEFORE. I GUESS THIS WAS A WEIRD CAR OR THE TPS COULD HAVE BEEN BAD. I SINCE HAVE CHANGED IT. THANKS.

How would i stop the whistling?? I've heard that the bbk TB is Infamous for its whistling. I like it but is it affecting the drivability of my vehicle? Im pretty damn sure that the COLD AIR Intake is secured properly. (what did the removal of the maf and driving indicate?)

How would i check the timing on my car? I checked the balancer and dont find the 8,10 12, etc degree marks.

When installing the Headers i had to raise up the car and in doing so i raised it by putting the jack under the crank pulley and jacking it up. Could i have damaged the crank or any other component????

You are a very bad boy. Never support the weight of the engine on the crank pulley. Next time, use a block of wood under the oil pan. If you damaged the crank/pulley/balancer, you would notice it/them wobble when idling, and would feel it when driving.

Pull the #1 spark plug, and wad up a piece of kleenex and stuff it into the spark plug hole (not all the way into the cylinder, just try and plug the hole). Rotate the engine by hand with a breaker bar and a socket on the crank until the kleenex pops out. You are now very near TDC on the compression stroke. Remove your distributor cap and verify that the rotor is pointing to #1. Shine a flashlight into the spark plug hole. You should see the top of the piston. Assuming you don't have a dial indicator with a spark plug adapter, place a long pencil into the spark plug hole so that it is resting on the piston. Very slowly, rock the breaker bar back and forth while watching the pencil. it will move slightly up and down. Find the point where the pencil doesn't move, so that moving the breaker bar in either direction would cause the pencil to go down, and stop. You are now at zero degrees (TDC). Get some liquid paper and make a mark that corresponds with your timing pointer. next, you either find someone with a timing light that has an adjuster on the end, or get a cloth tape measure and measure the circumference of what ever you put the mark on in centimeters(pulley, balancer, etc.), and divide the total by 360. next, multiply the last answer by 10, and that is the distance from your zero degree mark to the 10 degree mark.

If you are certian that the whistling is not caused by an air leak, then don't worry about it.

If there was no difference with the MAF unplugged, then it's defective, or there's a short in the wiring. If there was a noticable difference, then the wiring is fine, and the MAF may be dirty. Try cleaning the wire. Otherwise, do what I said before. It's very important that you disconnect the battery and turn on the headlight switch after all work is done, but before driving or pulling codes.

I want you to do another KOEO and KOER, but the battery must be disconnected just prior, and the engine must be warmed up.

Post the results.

Take care
~Chris

PKRWUD, I ran the codes this time and i got back all singles e.g. 1 1 1 1 pause 1 pause 1 1 1 1.
ON the KOER Test i got back code 12 pause 12 and from there i got no more codes.
Code 12 is the idle rpm out of range.
any ideas?
O yah when i lifted the car from the balancer. i did put a 2 by 4 under it
