In reference to the quote above: Though unsure about the 7MGE on the turbo IDL is pulled up to 5 volts when open. The book is wrong. I'd be very surprised if the GE was different. Also, code 41 can occur even though VTA passes a resistance test. It occurs whenever IDL remains low and VTA goes...

Lmao. QFT...

PCV system orifice. Time to RTFM...

I did tell you the problem but here's some info from the TSRM anyway: 12, RPM Signal Diagnosis * No "NE" or "G" signal to ECU within 2 seconds after engine has been cranked. Trouble Area: * Distributor, or CPS, circuit * Distributor or CPS *...

Not so tricky. ECU input STA must go high whenever the key is turned to the start position. This is normally done using the same signal applied to the starter solenoid. Check the wiring IJ mentioned or or just add a new line anywhere from the start signal to STA. The right side footwell would be...

I'd give my left nut to be 17...

At least the guy from Wisconsin admits to being a little nuts... You can fool it using a set resistance. Iirc 5-10K will do it. As long as the harness is good the code should disappear All the ECU cares about is seeing what it thinks is the exhaust stream when EGR is commanded. That...

Trust me, it doesn't even have to be federal. And you must live outside the Denver-Boulder region....there Colorado has much tougher emissions testing than California. Search for the resistor value. Been covered before...

It'll be fine as long as you use higher octane than usual. Course, there's the issue of continually dumping the worst of the three automotive pollutants into the air but with your moral turpitude that's not a problem right?

Read the next page. OP: The MKIII's oil sending unit is very unique. Not that connecting an aftermarket gage to a stock sending unit is a bright idea to begin with..

The EGR temp sensor is irrelevant to the operation of the EFI system. It's only there because BAR mandated EGR monitoring. The code can be done away with by simply installing a resistor across the sensor connector, one whose value represents the original thermistor's resistance when EGR is...

^ And I thought post #2 was strange... OP: Often caused by shorted O2 sensor wiring or a short to ground in the harness where it chafes on the rear of the intake manifold...

People get good advice and still want to buy junk. Typical. Btw 3p you might enjoy this ;) http://tinyurl.com/5sh7zs

I'm halfway there. I know but don't care. Does that count?

The UT40 is lower end but the UT100si is a nice tool. I own four of the various MA models and like it best. Powerful, adjustable, long run time, shrink tube tip and, if you get the model without self ignition, torch capable. I've hard-silver soldered with mine. These days the only time I use the...

Gee, what a revelation. Thanks for that. They're all silicone but the "weights" (vis in centistokes) are different and it's this and not the silicone that makes them applicable to different applications. Have I got that right?

It's three times the specified vis. You tell me? ;) Fwiw I've written in detail about how to rebuild/refill/test the fan clutch. It's on here somewhere...

Not shock oil. Too thin. Diff oil. 3000 cst. Nothing like a little curb stomping eh?

Power steering idle up line. It needs to be capped when not in use to prevent pirate air from entering the intake manifold. Normally connected to that hard line using a short hose. Line goes to a vacuum valve (on the PS pump) that senses hydraulic pressure in the power steering. Loading the...
