Confusion and paranoia in my case, I don't wanna fry something.
So aside from the one wire which goes to the stock AFM which needs to be rerouted and the F-out I can just use all the other settings in the quick start guide for the MKIII? and I'll be running like stock but with MAP?
Hey, thanks for the reply. I saw the work around earlier. I was hoping for someone who could give me some pointers and let me know what other differences I need to look for when wiring it in. Also some base setting to get it up and running close to stock for the time being would be nice... until...
When digging through my TSRM I must've flipped past the page with the specific resistances... I found it now, so I'll be checking those tomorrow.
I'm going to try to find a MKIII at a junk yard tomorrow... so hopefully I can grab a couple AFMs, TPSs, and ignitors to try out.
UPDATE: Well, I replaced my coil today, the old one was out of spec. BUT, that didn't fix it.
I've had time to verify a few things. I am not getting any codes. This is only happening when the car is warm. If it happens and I pull over and pop the hood for 30+ minutes it'll run fine until the...
Sl1dewaysSupra, yeah, you got it right.... and yes, it's builtvery much like the passenger window switch.
Hey Sl1dewaysSupra, where in CO are you? I'm in SW Denver.... next time PM me... hell I think I have a spare of that switch somewhere.
ROFL.... I know. I cleared the codes because I hadn't checked the codes recently (and I've had to fix a nuimber of things since I last cleared them) and wanted to make sure that any codes I was throwing weren't related to something I've recently replaced.
So, I read the code 51, reset and...
The only time I've seen those make any difference is when they're just acting as a band-aid for some worn out component (ie: bad ground lines, worn out alt which is producing a fluctuating output).
I'll have to look again. I didn't pay attention to anything besides the fact that I was getting spark... at the time I was still clouded in the head and thinking it had to be a fuel issue. I really need to add a fuel pressure guage.
Update:
Well, the car drove fine all the way home. So I figured it was remedied with with one of the adjustments I made earlier today by the roadside.
Well, I tried to head out for a quick run to the store and didn't make it 20 feet.
On the up side, being away from traffic and with no...
I don't think it'd be heat soak... I'm N/A and never had a problem until last night. Plus it's quite cool here right now and my temp under the hood is cooler than it's been in ages.
I'll look up the info on that VSV tonight when (if) I get home in my TSRM. Does that VSV control the vacuum to...
Hey guys,
It's me this time... my wife's been posting for me while I was stranded roadside.
Well, after the car had some time to cool down it ran fine again. So, I'm thinking my fuel pump is on its way out and over heated. But, how do I test it if it's now running fine? Is the fuel pump...
I think the code 51 may have been my fault, because I did try the excelerator while I'll had the diagnostic jumped, and if that would give me the code 51, than I'm not getting any codes. What is this most likely to be? AFM?
Could this possibly be a bad knock sensor? I haven't heard anything...
For the most part, the idle is relatively stable, but I can't rev the engine above idle. Attempting to apply throttle results in sporadic firing...almost like a misfire but less consistent, and the car won't remain above idle at all with the exception of an occasional burst.
I've got an '88 NA. The car died on me on the highway. I'm getting a code 51. Don't have tools to test it, but I suspect it's the TPS. The car will idle. The idle is semi-erratic, but not very. Is the TPS the only thing that could cause this or is the AFM or possibly the ignition coil suspect?
You sure it's not just the indicators on the brake pads?
The wheel bearings have to be pressed in. Most shops will do it for a reasonable price if you bring in the knuckle already out of the car... otherwise it's pricey.
