20 pounds of vacuum? Iwant: Dovetail the O ring gland. If he doesn't have the cutter for that they're readily available and cheap enough.

1) The GE injectors are (iirc) high impedance 2) The GTE injectors are low impedance. 3) The GTE uses a resistor pack. It needs one because the injectors are low impedance (duh). 4) The fuel pump speed resistor pack you're referring to has nothing to do with injector operation.

For codes to be cleared either the keep alive power on ECU terminal BATT or ground must be removed. Normally pulling the EFI will kill BATT but your wiring could be messed up. Measure the terminal with the fuse out and see. 1) It didn't get reset with the sensor change. It got reset when you...

Of course. I forgot about him being a machinist. Well, there ya go. Maybe something other than aluminum. Nylon or Delrin for example. Quick and easy...

If you go the RTV route use wax paper from the kitchen. Silicone won't stick to it and the bead will conform to the sealing surface. I'd have to hold the thing in my hands to know what could be done beyond that. If I couldn't fix it I'd machine something similar out of aluminum and make it use...

What I find hard to believe is how many problems you have with these cars. Ah well...now that we all know your address maybe someone will stop in and help you out ;)

Could be but I'm sure you know it's completely normal for even new blades (especially the tips) not to remain in the same rotational plane at all times. Ever see what the prop tips on modern aircraft do when power is brought up? On the ground they bend forward about a *foot* and they're high...

Looks like a simple case of damage caused by torsional blade loading to me...

Nice job. That last pic reminds me of how sometimes the EGR cooler gasket will fail and jet exhaust onto the rear hose at the bend. Look/feel for carbon on the hose underside as a tip off...

You are not. Stop messing with the afm/tps and look elsewhere. Btw if you get 51 with a pedal tap it's impossible not to get it with the TPS unplugged because both situations result in electrically the same thing...

If it's old you should. Change both, flush the line, fill with new fluid and bleed the system. For longevity clean the top of the reservoir well each time before opening it, occasionally change the reservoir fluid (use something like a turkey baster or gravity drain the system until nearly...

Sounds like a worn wiper. Common on those things as they age. Bad news because the load signal is one of the two critical signals used for calculating basic injection duration.

Not to be picky Devin but the thermal conductivity of copper far exceeds aluminum. The second is commonly used only because it's cheaper, lighter, and easier to work with. As for heat dissipation it depends on several things but all else being equal surface area is what matters.

Huh. I would've thought learning how to stop something from getting wet is easier than learning how to do wiring...

Books? Lol. No books involved, at least not in this case. Forgive a lack of modesty but that it works in such a way is, just from looking at the EWD, intuitively obvious to someone with my technical background. Remember, I didn't just fall off the back of the turnip truck yesterday. Besides...

You did great. Just yankin' your chain a bit is all. No malice intended...

I'm not in the mood to 'splain that right now but I will say if you'd just leave the damn car alone you wouldn't have these problems :)

Well, there ya go. It's just a switch. When IDL and E2 are connected together IDL is pulled low to ground by E2. When they're not connected together IDL is pulled high by a pull up resistor in the ECU. IDL can be "shorted" to ground (E2) without damage because another resistor in the ECU...

41 is normal with VTA floating eg; when the TPS is unplugged. It's because with the TPS disconnected VTA will rise to 5 volts. That puts it above the 4.8 volt limit the diag system uses to judge it as being connected. If your idle contact isn't closing either the throttle linkage is...

They make good nock sensers too ;)
