Yeah looked at the techedge, nice unit with a good price. The only problem was the on board logging went for 2 minutes with 10 frames per second which meant a laptop in the car for circuit work. But the upside was it did read 9:1 AFRs if you do need that. I ended up getting the LM-1 with the...

Yeah had a look at the FJO, nice unit but expensive once all the add-on's are purchased. I also need on board logging facilties as i dont want my laptop going for a trip around the track! Reading lower than 10:1 AFR is more of a sensor issue rather than the FJO problem, most sensors wont be...

Seen this yet.... http://lextreme.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2368

Well with my crappy wideband finally bitting the dust its time for a new one that actually logs multiple channels which will make life much easier! So far it is down to two candidates.... 1) Innovative LM1 with LMA3 box, or 2) PLX R500 Both are pretty equal in terms of specs and price -...

Been awhile since i looked at this but IIRC it is actually 12 pulses per revolution on the crank (1 pulse every 30 degrees), so 24 pulses per engine cycle. The TDC pulse (if you call it that) is 10*BTDC and the next is 20*ATDC and so on. Each cam has 1 pulse per engine cycle, so one every 2...

I dont think the highest point has to be the radiator cap, the highest point needs to have a way of removing the air pocket you get if it is filled from somewhere lower. On my conversion the highest point is the bolt above the thermostat, i fill the radiator with this bolt out then top it up and...

mmm, the point i was making, although reading back was not clear, was that the LTFT and STFT does not change in open loop, whatever the LTFT table is when entering open loop is how it stays until c/l is entered again (the STFT is always reset to 0 in open loop), there is no feed back from the O2...

Long and short term fuel trims are only used in closed loop, if you make the coolant sensor read low it will run open loop only. It will however kill the cats and O2 sensors pretty quickly if you run it this way all the time.

With both solenoids off (ie no wiring connected) it is in 4th gear when the shifter is in drive. It will do exactly as madmont said above when the shifter is in the other positions, all gears except 2nd are available. If the car wont move while manually shifting the lever check the trans has...

Toysrme - With regards to the TPS signal modification how do you find the transient fueling afterwards?? The TPS controls power enrichment and with out it connected id have thought a hesitation and lean-out on throttle tip in would be present. Also does the ECU set an error code? Most ECUs look...

Having no fuel or spark could be no power to the ECU, a bad earth to the ECU, cam trigger fault, crank trigger fault, no acc power.......etc etc. If the ECU has power have a look at the diagnostic LEDs on the side of the ECU. Make sure both trigger 1 and trigger 2 LEDs are flashing correctly...

Isnt a reed switch a square wave signal?? The SP1 thread of the 1UZ Crown box is the same as a GM TH400 (and prob heaps of others, not trimatic though), there are heaps of aftermarket 4 pulse per rev speed sensors (some pass through so a speedo cable can be used). Does the 5speed use the...

Thought id add a pic of an oily plug, this is of a plug that has been firing correctly but the engine is letting some oil into the combustion chamber. If the cyl was misfiring the deposits would be wet, black sludge rather than the ash deposits that this plug shows.

Looking at the plugs id say its running overly rich, oil leaves large deposits on the plugs if they fire or will be wet and oily looking if the plug fails to fire. The white porcelain in the middle of the plug should have a light brown tinge to it if running correct mixtures, the ring around...

You can open the pump up and remove the guts of it (no special tools needed, it just all falls out). Remove outlet pipe and the solenoid, find two threaded plugs that fit (I took my pump to a local auto parts store and found two sump plugs that fitted). For the inlet pipe (larger pipe) i used a...

have you used a timing light to verify spark is hapening when it should? If you have fuel out the exhaust ports, spark at each plug and there are no obstructions in the intake it should be trying to fire. Not flooded is it?? If still in doubt of fuel delivery, spray some aero-start in the...

Once again kdog we need more info!! If i read your post correctly your saying that the autronic can predict the required fuel/spark at a particular load point using control algorithms that define an engine operating model?? If thats right then it must have some power on board to do it in...

You can get it heli-coiled. Engine reconditioners or transmission shops can do it for ya. It replaces the original thread thats tapped into the head with a steel coil that becomes the new thread, its stronger than the factory tapping into the alloy.

Yep, works very well and interfaces with all the factory sensors (use only one cam sensor though). Get the plus version if you want it to control the factory stepper motor for idle control, if u use the normal wolf a solenoid needs to be added to control idle speed. Iam using the internal 3 bar...

Out of interest do you know what the cost of emission testing is over on the east coast?? Is it a one chance thing, like, pay your fee, fail and have to pay the full amount again next time??
