From your other thread, in reference to the CEL, explain this: "i know its there and it works, before i jumped the ecu, it would light up before i would turn it over". In that thread you claimed the CEL wasn't lighting up at all and now it is. What did you do to repair it? And what does...

You could always RTFM. No, you don't need either of those things for the engine to start but you need them both for it to run right. If I were you I'd check for 12 volts at the injectors. You should have it on both wires. Or check for it at the ECU terminals. There should be 12 volts on the...

First, most wear occurs during cold starts. Thousands of miles worth compared to steady state cruising. This is especially true if the engine has been sitting a long time and all the oil has drained to the pan. Second, short stints of idling cause fuel dilution of the oil from warm up...

Ja, german engineering. I never know whether to shake my head at it or nod in admiration. The K Jet isn't a hard system but those who don't take the time to understand it will be driven to drink ;)

If by "regular startups" you mean a few minutes of idling that's a bad thing to do.

Been a while since I was under there but I could swear my tank has a drain plug. *edit* oops, NWS beat me ;) I'd do what SC suggested and drop the tank. If not here's what I do on Bosch K Jetronic systems. The K Jet is a mechanical fuel injection system with very precision parts used on some...

Diplomat Dave ;) Boost leak? Ok, in a sense. Severe? Nope. Big loss of power? Nyet. You could drive around with bad stock valve for months and never know it. In fact that's usually what happens to people. I just went over a car the owner claimed was running great. Guess what? And I don't...

Well, it's simple: Like many on this forum petey doesn't know what he's talking about. It's just another reason you should read the TSRM and learn about the car yourself. That way you'd know for sure instead of having to ask a bunch of yahoos on the internet and then wonder who to believe.

As Grim Jack said it shouldn't. Your problem likely lies elsewhere.

No, it doesn't. And changing the filter or fluid isn't going to help with the problem. Still be a good thing to do for other reasons though.

Hey, no problem. I didn't explain everything either because it's somewhat involved. The role of the speed sensor is a good example. Not that TEMS does much of anything ;)

37 mph? Huh, never seen one do that. TEMS has 3 settings: 1) Soft 2) Medium 3) Firm It has 2 Modes: 1) Normal 2) Sport It has 4 functions: 1) Anti-Squat: Upon abrupt application of the gas pedal the system goes firm. Input signal is the TPS. This is the only function where the TCCS...

You must not have a TSRM. Or have one and can't be bothered to read it.

Removing the EFI fuse prevents fuel from being injected and also keeps the coil packs from firing. The ignition system generates as much secondary voltage (within it's design limits) as needed to fire the plugs and will rise to that limit whenever a secondary is open circuited. That's a bad...

No, it doesn't. Better focus on the 14 though as it's the only one of the three that'll shut the engine down.

Because it's less than 1% of all their oil sales AutoZone has recently decided to discontinue carrying GC so get it while you can. A pity one of the best oils out there gets dumped, no doubt because of public ignorance it's too "thin". That word is straight from AZ HQ. It can still be bought...

Two words: voltage drop

What SC said. Charge the battery first. Also remove the EFI fuse or unplug the injector resistor.

World Class Remanufactured in Mexico. Lol...

Lol...a guy with two engineering degrees that can't write six words without misspelling two of them. This place just slays me at times...
