  1. FilthyEvo (Joe Ascoli)

    OP: This was brought to my attention by a friend.I guess the logger didn't make it to you. I just emailed you; once I hear back, I will have the full amount refunded to you. Will report back when transaction is completed.
  2. RESOLVED: Battery Cables Melted.

    Forgot to mention that I left the transistor box unplugged, LOL!Once I plugged that in, all was good!
  3. RESOLVED: Battery Cables Melted.

    RESOLVED.Just had to replace the melted cables. The POS ran the cables from the rear to the factory cables up front. He had them meet in the wheel well and the tire rubbed through the insulation.
  4. RESOLVED: Battery Cables Melted.

    Replaced everything, but now the car won't start.All fuses appear to be fine.What would cause a no start after a shorting problem like this? I swapped in another ECU and still won't fire up. The car is completely normal other than the fact that it won't run. Doesn't even try to fire up...
  5. RESOLVED: Battery Cables Melted.

    Taking a look at this thread; clickIt seems to be the same issue. So, if the battery is directly wired to the alternator with NO fuse in line and the alternator were to overcharge the battery, would this cause the cables to fry and melt?
  6. RESOLVED: Battery Cables Melted.

    Quoting prove_it: And this is exactly why you have a fuse as close to the Positive battery terminal as possible. You'll be replacing wires, so do a teardown and locate the short.Haha, I assumed I would be replacing cables when I saw that they were melted from back to front (trunk to engine...
  7. RESOLVED: Battery Cables Melted.

    Yes, there was a grommet. The wire ran into a loom, on the engine side of the firewall, so hopefully it didn't take out any other wires when it melted.
  8. RESOLVED: Battery Cables Melted.

    Was out driving around last night in the snow storm, when suddenly the car completely died. No power at all.I assumed it had something to do with the battery, so I popped open the trunk (poorly relocated battery from PO), and smoke started billowing out. Terrible smell of melted plastic...

  15. WTB: 16G Wastegate Actuator

    Couldn't figure out why my GVR4 was over-boosting, but realized it was a different wastegate with a 21lb spring. So the MBC had no control to bring it down to stock levels (running 450cc's and stock pump now) and I was hitting fuel cut under WOT.Need a 11lb 16g wastegate actuator.Thanks...
  16. [RESOLVED] Car will start cold, but won't start hot.

    Changed the plugs this morning, tied up any loose wires, and changed the oil (good thing I did).The car seemed to turn over much nicer, and fired right up. It wanted to die a little bit, but still ran well. Once it warmed up, the car was good to go. High idle of ~1500RPM, and I can't adjust...
  17. [RESOLVED] Car will start cold, but won't start hot.

    My logger won't be in until this week.I will be testing the resistance of the wires from the ECU to the plug to trace down the correct wires.
  18. [RESOLVED] Car will start cold, but won't start hot.

    I do have a spare CAS, but I'm not sure the condition of it.
  19. [RESOLVED] Car will start cold, but won't start hot.

    Could you post a picture of the relay your talking about? Which pins can I jump?I used the same method on a 3000GT VR4 back in the day.I will check/test the fuel pump tomorrow. Would a bad fuel pump housing gasket cause problems?Just tested a known good coil pack and PTU today; no...
  20. [RESOLVED] Car will start cold, but won't start hot.

    Plug Wire resistance is good. I have two sets here, and both test out good.The connector, from the coil pack, looks like it has 2-3 wires that were brittle and cracked open. They didn't pull from the plug, but they did crack open - exposing wires. The wiring from the harness to the Coil...
  21. [RESOLVED] Car will start cold, but won't start hot.

    Okay, the car fired right up this morning - even in the bitter cold of 6*. It idled around 1200-1500RPM for about 5 minutes and then slowly started to climb. During this time, the car ran pretty smoothly - didn't sound like it was on 2 cylinders, nor sounded like a Subaru.The idle went up to...

  24. Fuel Pump Relay grease?

    Good to know.Is there a write-up for testing the Fuel Pump Relay?
  25. Fuel Pump Relay grease?

    This is how my Fuel Pump Relay looks? What problems would this cause?Is there a way to use a jumper and bypass it like with 3000GT VR4's?

  28. Weird no-start problem after CTS replacement

    I'm going to try and snag one from the junkyard, or Advanced Auto. I'll see if I can find any in the classifieds, but I don't want to wait for it to ship here.Man, I knew this car was going to be a nightmare, but I don't want to give up. It was so neglected by the previous owner that it...
  29. [RESOLVED] Car will start cold, but won't start hot.

    How do I reach the ECU plug and the CTS plug at the same time.This is the 3rd CTS I've put in the car since diagnosing this. The CTS tests good.I have already rewired the wiring but maybe I need to trace it back further? Can't I eliminate the old wiring and run a new wire straight from the...
  30. [RESOLVED] Car will start cold, but won't start hot.

    Could it have anything to do with my Fuel Pump Relay having a bunch of gunk in it? White grease and looks a little rusty.
  31. [RESOLVED] Car will start cold, but won't start hot.

    FIAV is blocked off with a STM Blockoff Plate. EGR is also blocked off.
  32. [RESOLVED] Car will start cold, but won't start hot.

    O2 sensor was wired incorrectly. Grey and Black wire were switched.I swapped in (4) 450cc injectors that all had similar resistance (2.4ohms). The car IS getting spark when the car is cold.After swapping in the injectors, and zero-ing out the SAFC, the car fired right up and ran...

  37. Weird no-start problem after CTS replacement

    Will a 1G DSM engine harness work in a GVR4?Tired of dealing with all these broken wires and having to rewire everything. The previous owner attempted a half ass "wire tuck".
  38. Weird no-start problem after CTS replacement

    Tested a known good rebuilt ECU.Car fired right up, but having some weird issues now.Car still idles high. Once I shut it off, it would not restart. Radiator was extremely hot, and smoke was coming from around this area.I took videos, and will try to load them.Who wants an invite to the...

    Quoting mitsuturbo: Ewwwww.. NON EPROM FTL!Find a good eprom ecu. You're going to need it when you buy Link.Will do. I'm searching the classifieds now.Is this ECU junk? This was causing my issues? Can it be fixed and converted?If you guys could point me in the right direction, it...
  45. Weird no-start problem after CTS replacement

    Well, I believe I found my issue.Cracked open the ECU, and this is what I found;Does it look repairable or should I start looking for a new ECU?Not sure who Spectre S2 is either.
  46. Weird no-start problem after CTS replacement

    Quoting transparentdsm: FilthyEvo - do you know how to tune with an SAFC ? not trying to be mean just asking. if you don't you should stop where you are.read this: clickthen read this: clickand in all fairness i have tuned with an SAFC and i have no idea what "base settings on LO --...
  47. Weird no-start problem after CTS replacement

    I reset the SAFC to base settings; Karmen, arrow up, 4 cyl, base settings on LO -- [(450/680) - 1] 100Have a list of things to test today;- Going to pull the ECU and check for leaking caps and make sure the ECU sensor ground is still intact. - Check the Grey wire from the SAFC to ECU as...
  48. Weird no-start problem after CTS replacement

    Tested the injectors. Resistance at around 2.1 ohms on each injector - which is in spec.Will test the Transistor tomorrow to see if it's sending power to the injectors, as well as pulling the ECU to check for leakage/smell and to see if the caps have ever been replaced.Any other ideas? Would...
  49. Weird no-start problem after CTS replacement

    Car has spark at all 4 cylinders. I tested the plug wire resistance and only one was a little high, so I swapped on my back up set - which all tests nice and low.Fixed a few grounds, and still nothing. Still runs like it's on two cylinders.All timing marks line up.Stumped.Could...
