Sounds like pump is shot. Most likey because no one ever did any PS system preventive maintenance. Flush the system before you change it to get any crap out. Clean the tank screen, add a Magnefine filter in the return line (below the AFM), refill with with synthetic and bleed. If you're anal...

I have two of them, in different cars. Installed myself. I like 'em because they're cheap, all in one, and have multiple AUX outputs, which on one car I needed to raise the doors after unlocking them. I also needed the long range they offered. They also have starter disable and carjacking...

Ah, I see. Sorry. He has other single mount bypass kit that comes with the Fram. Another problem I didn't mention with that kit is the way they create the pressure delta to feed the BP filter is very poorly done. It's all junk but at least now you know. You were going to run two PL30001s...

No, I've not used it before but that's not the point. And while you may not "need" two filters you should definately use two. Just not those filters. It's junk in the sense it's a cheap kit with cheap parts and very poor filters. I won't even go into the wisdom of using cheap hose, barbed...

You should have done some research. If you had you'd have learned that stuff is junk.

I like the Crimstoppers CS 211 Super Rage or the later one with the LCD display and feedback. I think it's the CS 2016. These are slightly older systems so they go for cheap. You can find new ones on Ebay. They're a long range all in one keyless entry, alarm (with shock sensor), and remote start...

It's a NTC thermistor. Yes, it's two wire. They can drift with time but are usually pretty stable. Since it's so important to the TCCS you may want to at least check it to see if it's within spec when the engine is hot. Or just replace it. Fwiw, nothing you do to keep your EFI system in tune is...

Blowing cold at 55 ambient isn't much of a way to test performnce but it should work OK. I'm just splitting hairs. As long as you're happy with it. 34 on the low side is a bit too high but close enough. The TXV in your evap was designed to work with R12. The main thing is did you use the right...

Me too, not only 609 but 608 Universal certified. It's why I would've stayed with R12. 134 works but is not optimum in a system designed for R12. Pressures are higher and that puts a strain on everthing. Important because at very high ambients with a small condensor fan and no vehicle movement...

Looking at the other instructions infers "mass" is ground. Seems to be a Kiwi term. Just another example of two countries separated by a common language. Even though he's not a Kiwi IJ can likely enlighten us on this ;) Another tip off it's ground is how the defogger switch pulls that line low...

There should be a two pin connector for the compressor clutch. Look for it exiting the harness that is located directly under the fuse box. It's a light blue wire as I recall. Comes from the AC clutch relay which is also located below the fuse box.. The other wire (light blue/red) in the...

Thanks mrnickleye. From your posts I see you've aleady learned the devil is in the details and knowing them can make all the difference. I try to help by explaining things. Teach a man to fish and all that. I look at it as payback, homage to all those over the years who took the time and...

Thanks IJ. Your information is impeccable, as usual. And thanks for taking the time to make a pic.

Hey IJ, That two hole blank off plate near the turbo drain on a 7M. Is it a pressure port or a drain? Do you know of any other unused block pressure ports on a 7MGTE besides the 1/8 BSP near the power steering pump? Thanx mate...

Depends on the coolant sensor. It could be longer sometimes but not much longer. Times are in the TCCS manual. How long is yours staying in and how do you know? Regardless, the point still stands: As long as it's on the FPR will not track manifold pressure.

What we have here is a failure to communicate. Either that or a case of comprehension skills "lagging" behind reading skills. ;) Read the post again. When the valve is active the FPR is not ported to the intake manifold, it's ported to atmosphere. Therefore fuel pressure can't possibly track...

What Grim said. The valve is what is known as a three way. It has three ports, two of which switch between a third, common port. The common port is connected to the FPR. The valve therefore can be in one of two states at any given time: 1) FPR port and manifold port connected. 2) FPR port...

Eurena Socrates? Yikes. Everything mrnickleye said. The car is running rich, just look at the low O2 and high CO. It's going to idle and run fine with that mixture but it sure isn't going to pass.

It's just a filter so the VSV should still work fine. The one you're talking about looks to be for the FPU system so it's no big deal. That valve is only active when the engine is hot and only then for a little bit of time. I'd still replace it though when you can.

The ASM loaded mode test used in CA measures HC in PPM so your numbers don't make sense. Now if you're refering to CO as 5.4% you indeed have problems. Post the actual numbers when you can. As Grim said, an obvious issue must have been found in your EVAP system for it to fail the visual. High...
