no. the ks's dont set a CEL for knock. the ECU, however, will retard timing, and enrichen fuel mixture. -shaeff

i just bought some mobile 1 15w50 today. fully synthetic. :) next weekend, ima relocate my oil filter and put in my 11x8 oil cooler, as well as 180* thermostat. :) -shaeff

yes. the oil/water vapors (yes, i said water vapors) WONT condense if the can is hot, thus completely defeating it's purpose. i have mine mounted to the right of the brake booster (looking from under the hood) nice and cool over there. ;) -shaeff

code 52 doesnt indicate engine knock. it indicates that there's a short in the knock sensor circuit. basically, either (you have an N/A block, so one knock sensor) your KS is fried, or the wiring is messed up. rewire the KS, and check the actual sensor for output voltage with a multimeter, clear...

that sucks! there's no way to remove the gauge face is there? if you could do that, perhaps you could simply pop the needle off, and replace it at the right mark? :( -shaeff

something people should note, that i forgot to post about the gauge cluster in my truck: if you have a pre '89 gauge cluster, and convert it to red, you'll have a very hard time determining what the redline is, as it basically disappears when illuminated at night. (experiencing this on my...

brent, is it possible to remove the gauge face, and just move the needle? i've never used an electric boost gauge before, so i'm shooting in the dark here. i assume there's no adjustment on the sending unit? -shaeff

loki, if you need another temp sending unit, i've got a good one. you can have it, free. just let me know. i have no use for it. :) -shaeff

yeah. sure do. :) havent had anyone order one in a few months, though. i dont really promote it. turbodriz, look in the misc vendor's section, probably all the way at the bottom of page 2. there's info on it there. i've got one that's almost complete. PM me for details, as this is not a...

bypassing the knock sensor(s) is a bad idea. ;) you should just do the SOGI rewire, found here: http://www.supras.com/06/techcenter/display.php?QID=69 also, where in NY are you? i might have asked you that before, but i lost the thread. :p -shaeff

i used every JDM sensor on my motor, except for the oil pressure sending unit, and everything functions 100% on mine. it wouldnt be different for the JDM sensors because only the oil pressure gives you an actual value, unlike the water temp, that just sits at half mast, and thats normal...

you mean bypass it, or drill it out. ;) -shaeff

heh, that's pretty funny. :) that is, unless you're actually gay, in which case, good for you for being open about it! ;) -shaeff

the only thing that needs to be enlarged/bypassed is the j-pipe. ;) -shaeff

i agree. i slapped that puppy with a hammer. came right off. :) -shaeff

yeah, when i tested my fuel pump, i had the exact same experience as al just posted. paperclip got hot, (heard the wallypump like crazy!) and heard/felt the fuel flowing. -shaeff

drill out the J-pipe, and you should be alright. you *MIGHT* run a little more rich with the wally, and no way to adjust it. your stock regulator will be ok. -shaeff

either a fried sensor, or the wire is grounding out somewhere. check that stuff. most commonly, code 51 means your TPS is out of adjustment. -shaeff

baby steps. ;) -shaeff

where in NY do you live? i've never had that happen, but it sounds like maybe your alternator might be on the fritz. -shaeff
