    j-spec vs. a-spec

    they're identical except for the throttle bodies, JDM has no EGR, there's no BVSV on the thermostat housing for the charcoal canister, and the coolant hardline that goes around the block for the heater core is different. thats all i can think of off the top of my head right now. -shaeff

    VIDEO: ok now someone tell me whats wrong NOW ;)

    Ideal: i'd try grounding the ECU elsewhere. as far as i'm concerned, a ground is a ground, no matter where you place it. try to find a good, solid ground, and see if that does any good. i dont know if the HAC sensor would cause this, but maybe it would if you live in a too high or too low of an...

    turning up the idle

    if your idle is off, something's wrong. you shouldnt have to adjust it. is it idling too high, or too low? check the codes and see if you get anything there. other than that, i'd bet its either the TPS or the ISC. nice to see you back, will. -shaeff

    mystery poof

    the TPS *shouldnt* play any roll in starting the car. you can still start the car with it unplugged, you'll just idle at 1k rpm or so. -shaeff

    87 body, 92 motor, which harness/ecu?

    haha, i hate you jeff. :icon_razz : (and wow did i have a brain fart, i should have remembered that when i got a new TPS for my N/A motor... ah well) HOWEVER, just for shits and giggles- i've got an 89+ motor in my car, using an 87 wiring harness, so thats probably what led me to jump to my...

    A few performance Questions for N/A

    eh, you'll gain a little, but not nearly as much as a turbo car. in my opinion, an N/A isnt worth modding. i found that out quickly before i blew my N/A motor;) on the N/A, you'll gain about 10hp or so from an exhaust, where with a turbo car you'll gain roughly 20-30hp. get the picture...

    car died

    heh, i had the same problem, and it was the TPS. the car would start and idle fine, (this was on my N/A) but when i drove and came to a stop, it would die. then it would start and idle fine. check the codes. try unplugging the TPS and see if that helps. (you'll idle at about 1k rpm, but if...

    overnight no starting ability

    check the 7.5A IGN fuse in the kick panel. it sounds like you've got a toasted battery, but as previously stated, check the grounds FIRST. it you check them, and rule out a grounding problem, get the car started, (jump it or something) and check the voltage output of the alternator. it...

    tail lights/brake lights won't turn off

    check the switch under the dash. press the brake and watch to see which one the pedal hits to activate the lights, it's probably stuck in the 'on' position. -shaeff

    87 body, 92 motor, which harness/ecu?

    the TPS is [MONSTER EDIT!!!-] NOT the same, as is the oxygen sensor. (the plug for the oxygen sensor is different color, but it still plugs right in) the AFM didnt change either. you MUST use the 87 harness. i didnt bother changing sensors for the plugs that didnt match, i just spliced the...
