    Car not starting randomly? READ THIS (30 Amp Starter Relay Mod)

    The purpose of the starter relay is to reduce the voltage drop due to the clutch start sw and the the anti-theft circuit (and also the current ratings needed for those components). That is its only purpose. It should be obvious that the circuit when working properly provides reliable and...

    Cams/Cam Journals... (How did this happen?)

    Another possibility is the clearances are way too big. Not uncommon on these engines, although it's usually 4-5-6 that are the worst. If the engine has been apart before then all bets are off, could be just dirt from a sloppy repair.

    VF signal

    You need this adapter for the CSI fitting, and then any standard fuel pressure gauge should fit. http://www.actron.com/product_detail.php?pid=16215

    Reconditioning Fan Clutch w/ Pics (Completed)

    I remember the first time I did this I put too much oil in and the thing was permanently locked. Sounded like an 18 wheeler truck! Use an impact driver to get those screws out.

    Hella H4 or E codes?

    I stand corrected. It's been a while since I ordered from him. I suppose it makes sense that all the old standard headlight sizes will be discontinued at some point since nothing has come off the line with them for years.

    Running rich

    How have you determined that your broken temp sensor is "working fine". Some temp sensor failures could result in a rich condition. Would be good to see your Vf reading. Perhaps the scanner also read that when you plugged it in.

    Huh? They are definitely still made. Cibie is an OEM manufacturer of lighting for for alot of "E-cars" like my wife's Volvo. http://www.danielsternlighting.com/products/products.html ---------- Post added at 10:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:42 AM ---------- Luxembourg = "low...

    No Start button and Fuel pump wiring

    I have been planning for a MK4 pump swap as well. The MK3 low speed circuit uses a 0.7ohm resistor to drop the pump voltage from 14V to 10V (at least that is what my numbers are). That corresponds to a low speed pump current of 5.7A. The MK4 pump (based on published data from John Cribb) can...

    vpc 1 vs three resistor question

    That does not make sense. The HAC signals are not available to the outside world on the 89+ ECUs. It is all contained on the PCB board inside the ECU.

    vpc 1 vs three resistor question

    The ECU needs to know the mass air flow into the engine. Our AFM detects volumetric air flow and need a correction to convert to mass airflow. The temp sensor is used as the primary correction since hotter air is predictably less dense. However, altitude also affects air density and the HAC is...

    ABS light headache

    When the ABS light is on the cruise control and driving lights do not work? There is not much in common with those three systems except a few very large fusible links that would cause much more to dfail than just those thee items. I was going to suggest some tests with the actuator since it is...

    ABS light headache

    No, I mean does the ABS light stay on after 3 seconds from IGN on. Pay no attention to that TC / E1 comment!. Was thinking airbag for some reason.

    what about the first question?

    ABS light headache

    I'm confused about your symptoms. I am assuming the ABS light does not turn off in 3 seconds after you turn the ignition on? Is that true? So procedure is: turn IGN on, remove check connector, wait 4 seconds, light start flashing. Are you following that order exactly?

    3P's TCCS Disassembly/Analysis

    Manuel, the 15G022 ASIC is presumably being used to replace the ports lost in external mode. The same thing that we do today using the Xilinx CPLD chip. Only difference is they needed to make a full up ASIC and fabricate it in the Toshiba foundry to make that chip while we just program the CPLD...
