    CPS issues and hardwiring question

    we all have or experienced the faulty CPS wiring problem but my question is pretty simple. Is it the clip that causes the connection problem or is it more internal like inside the actual CPS? becuase sometimes when my car dies on the road i simply pop the hood, undo the clip, clip it back in...

    tuning with the VF

    alright so i already received excellent advice as to how to tune my car, but one thing that i'm not certain with is tuning with the Vf signal. I know it'll range from 0-5v, and that 0 volts means it is running rich and 5 volts means that it is running lean....at idle and when my car is at...

    bouncing AFRs

    i still am having trouble tuning my car....i have the basic ct-26/lexus/580cc/walbro/apex-i. I cannot no matter what i do get my AFRs at idle to stay put. It always fluctuates from like 14.4-16.0. It never stays still. Is this becasue it's a piggyback system and not a standalone??

    low throttle tuning..

    So let me get this straight with your help. The ECU controls all fuel maps under 75% throttle thus meaning that any changes to the SAFC at LOW THROTTLE settings are basically useless?? and on the SAFC i should have the low throttle at 74% and high throttle at 75 %?? so if that makes sense...

    installed my walbro..quick question

    before i go ahead and install my gas tank back in, i'm kind of skeptical about using the butt-connectors they provided. Is there any reason why i SHOULDN'T use solder along with some heat shrink?? will the gasoline in time dissolve the solder???

    my car sounds awful

    i installed PTE injectors, AFPR, lexus AFM and since then my car has been sounding pretty bad at idle. It seems to only happen when the car is at full operating temp. The noise is VERY audible from inside the cabin but outside the car you can't hear it at all. The closest thing i can think...

    best way to splice ECU

    installing my Apex-i right now, and i want to know the best way to splice my wires into my ECU harness. I can think of a couple of ways to do it but 1 method wouldn't be all that secure, and the other would require me to cut the wire, solder on a new piece of wire WITH the proper S-AFC wire and...

    Should I Hercules it?

    well being very stubborn and very impatient, i went ahead and installed my 580 PTE injectors, aeromotive FPR, lexus AFM and soon to install my S-AFC and wideband. HOWEVER, i left myself a nice full tank of 92 octane fuel. I didn't want to wait to install my goodies so i decided to rip it apart...
