    Code 52 after SAFC install?

    Just an update, got to checking everything after work. Tested both sensor wires for continuity, found the culprit. Tested the connectors, found one that was loose, ecu side, looks like I just pulled it out while splicing the speed or throttle lines. Well, everything going good now, take it...

    Code 52 after SAFC install?

    Hey all, Wired in my SAFC yesterday, inline with my AVC-R, and both seem to be working perfectly. I did not wire a knock sensor signal into the SAFC, I only used power, both grounds, speed, rpm and the air meter wires. However, consistantly on every start I now throw a CEL as soon as I hit...

    Quick Q on removing center "tail light"

    You do not have to remove the bumper cover. Should only be the 3 nuts along the very bottom, 3 along the top, and if I remember two in the middle. Try taking the license plate lights out and see if you can see anything there.

    what do the smog #'s mean?? :o

    Your readings look pretty good, looks like you're just running a little rich. Only thing s I could suggest would be a little bit of octane booster, clean air filter, maybe go for a little aggressive drive before getting readings done again to warm up the cat. And as a note for the weight...

    Quick Q on removing center "tail light"

    Couple different places could be holding it on. If you've still got your side mouldings on,under the taillights, the two side sections of moulding actually overlap the center sections molding, so you have to undo the side sections (under the taillights) to get the centre out. Also, inside the...

    FCD question

    Well, with those conflicting pressure values, I would lean towards you have a leak between those two vacuum sources, as you are losing pressure somewhere along that pathway. You should be able to see 11.5-12 psi without any hint of fuelcut, so there definately is something leaking along the way.

    How do I clear Code 51?

    Usually code 51 is associated with a TPS misalignment, and probably easiest thing to fix (recalibrate using the TSRM), so maybe start there. TSRM: http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/library/TSRM/ TPS check: http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/library/TSRM/fi/FI_101.html * adjustment page is like 3...

    *Electronic Boost Controllers*

    Hmmm...as the low end of the range never changes, yet the high end does, do you think this would reduce the "resolution" of the data monitor? Would seem like if there were no detrimental effects, wouldn't they just input with the greatest range possible and not worry about changing ranges...
