Not knock sensors. Open IDL contact = code 51 = no idle speed control...

You have what is known as a compound gauge. It's reading correctly...

Hmmm. That should read "Ignition timing will also be retarded if the coolant sensor input is deemed too hot". Fixed. Btw technically it'd be warm up enrichment. Cold start enrichment ceases once the engine is running...

You should worry less about squish pads and more about getting a better anti-virus program....

What's to explain? The poster claims his engine didn't do this before and he's right when he says it's not supposed to. Can't get much clearer than that...

OP: You're right. It's not supposed to do that...

It's shown in the service manual. You know, the book that explains how everything in the car works...

TSRM, in at least two places. You do have one right?

Haven't seen that in a while. Ah well, I've been called worse ;)

^ What he said. Make sure you're not using the TEMS terminal. You can also connect TE1 to battery negative if it's you'd like as it's electrically the same as E1...

Just to clear something up it makes no difference whether the engine is running or not when checking codes. The book says not to start it simply because there's no need. You could also drive the car all day long with the diag jumper in and the only thing effected would be idle...

While not on the same level as SAE the decently done Paradise Garage study also showed it, as well as proving the effects of top off oil: http://neptune.spacebears.com/cars/stories/oil-life.html

Nah, I have another toy far better suited to that need. I only wish it was cheaper to own. Why do you think I still drive a 22 year old car? ;)

Been my DD for nearly 22 years. Most reliable car I've ever owned. To be honest I'm rather bored with the thing at this point...

Ruler. No wait: http://tinyurl.com/5rjtah

Smart move considering there's no way to plumb tubing into the stock sending unit. Course, you knew that...

TEMS has no control over what the engine does but your friend's opinion is still valid. Repair the speedo cable so the speed sensor can tell the engine ECU when the vehicle is traveling less than 11 mph. It needs to know this for idle speed control...

Why indeed. In fact I thought I said that a few posts back. Used different words though ;)
