Confirming that the above code works for 5% off as of today. I don't get them in my emails, either, and you have to put the code in the "where did you hear about us" line towards the bottom during checkout. That's also a bit weird but ok.

Thank you! I rebookmarked the vfaq as well. -PG

I'm so old that i'm newb again.I couldn't find it in a search and VFAQ seems no longer active, but is there a procedure to change the oil pump in car?My car has BS elmination. However, the nut to the oil pump sprocket either backed off or was stripped by the person who put together my...

Thank you for clarifying the above. Before Shannon K's death, he sent me a spare AC ECU module to try out. I had not tried it since I just removed the pulley and belt, leaving all else intact. Car will come with this spare module.Please note, I am pausing sale, ran into an issue when...

Here is the video link. I saved on instagram since photobucket doesn't allow hosting for free anymore.click

I am the 3rd owner of #490/1000. Originally Boston car. I purchased in 1999 from 2nd owner. Car has lived inside my garage entire ownership. Major engine overhaul and build in 2000, with very few miles (less than 500) since then.(I have a "feeler" add from 2010 on this board,

Ha! ‘92 luxury right there. Well, that’s a nearly 20 year old mystery solved. I didn’t think they lined up very well anyway! 😂

Oh, the back:

When I bought #490/1000, I was the 3rd owner. First, a lady in Boston, then a kid in Lowell, and then me. When I looked at the back seatbelts, I thought someone took out the seat and was too lazy to put the seatbelts through their holes. Of course, I was too lazy to put them in after I...

Stock are hex heads (8mm) with philips or JIS (I don't remember which)in the center.So my question is how to you get anything on your hex head? A standard 1/4" socket has no room for a rachet once on. It barely clears the fuel rail on and off without a rachet. Maybe I'll just grab the...

Just to regroup on this:1) My ECT readings essentially going to minimal volts was due to 4 strands of wire left connecting the spades in the connector. After crimping on new spades to good wire, the ECU is getting better voltage and now getting a better ECT reading at the ECU.2) Did not...

Anyone have a trick tool to access the lower TPS bolt/machine screw without removing the fuel rail?I'm pretty sure 12 years ago I rigged something up to loosen this one even though I obviously didn't adjust it properly since I'm seeing .60V at idle instead of .63VI was thinking of cutting...

Yep, that's me. It's being different plinking and at the range with friends.Although I was actually now thinking CZ scorpion. Fun plinker and ammo is

^^ You have me just about sold! I took a peak at Ebay and think I can recover nearly half of the costs of ECMlink by selling the MAFT and SAFC on there, anyway. Of course, parting out the entire car would be the best $$ decision, but I'm not going to be doing that. (too much pride into #490)...

Ah, if updated, ECMLink V3 for GVR4. So, I keep the MAFT in loop and fill out the form.My ECU is socketed already so I'm not sure what the option is for socketed EPROM $40?Looks like $545 for this setup?-PJ

Jeff (Keydiver) burned me a chip specifically for the MAFT 2.0X. MAFT should be zeroed via his direction. He also suggested the SAFC for fine tuning. It was not something that was just thrown together... in 1994.I get it, a pain in the Butt and the logger I think sucks even compared to the...

Easiest may be to use a bsp to npt adapter? I found a place in Australia, but it was a sensor not a switch. -PJ

Just for clarification, the tailights purchased by the same brand were fine and didn't require resistors. Likely the turn signal circuit is a bit more sensitive. If you have a suggestion for turn signals in LED that do not require resistors, that would be great. I'm not a great searcher, but I...

I don't know what you mean by "load level logging"? Can you explain? I don't think I have all the sensor bugs worked out to even start trying to dial in anything, yet. I have tunerpro and its 1G DSM captures for a logger.It's funny, I'm really not the dude to say, "you don't know me" to your...

Andrew, In your actual picture isn't the amber plug just that, a plug. It isn't an receptacle with wire leads, correct?That's what I was wondering what it is used for.Since I'm replacing and messing with turn signals, which the LEDs I just got for them need a resistor for the turn signal to...

How do you check the ECT circuit? With the old ECT sensor the reading on the logger was 271.75. From cold start it definitely started out around ambient but it quickly climbed to the 271.75. I think that this meant very minimal voltage getting to the ECU at that point. I'm at work and don't...

It looks like I could put a 194 in it if I had the correct socket.I was thinking it might be good to tie it into the turn signal marker so there is a front side indicator?I didn't know if this was something for another country market where at the time it was required or what. Honestly I...

Interesting comment. On the guides I have been reading/reviewing, LFTs in the 80-90 range were considered generally acceptable an "rich safe"? Please note that some of these posts/references are 10+ years old. Also, I can not directly "pull timing" with either the MAFT or SAFC. There is an...

Perfect, thanks!

When ordering ambers for the front turn signals, I just learned the difference between a BA15S and BA15D bulb... the hard way.Oh well. Anyone need a pair of amber 1156 LEDs with one contact at the bottom?-PJ

New ECT sensor in. Readings in the 250F range. Seems high to me but not sure what to expect?I decided I would try my new Denso O2 sensor.Well, the car now cycles O2 while idling. I must have gummed up the old one 10 yrs ago with soot, etc.So, now I have a car that goes into closed loop...

In case anyone wants to see, here are the outers in those LEDs vs the inners in incandescent: 1 white 194 LED in the right license bulb spot for comparison of those, too.

When Checking Coolant Temp connections, the AC Temp Sensor wires broke off the back of the connector.Is this connector available anywhwere or is there a way to remove the pins and rewire the connector plug?I currently do not have the AC pulley or belt on, so not using AC. Does this circuit...

I ordered the ones linked above in red. I just did one pair for the outer brake tail lights. They are definitely brighter, and no issue with flashing. However, the difference between low and high is not as much as the incandescent 2057s. A little bummed with this, to the point where I may...

Getting to know my GVR4 by replacing bulbs, I realized the front corners have a blank light hole behind the amber section. Is there a write up for incorporating these into the blinker or one of the other lights? Anyone know what it is there for?-PJ

Good point on coolant temp sensor. Is that the 271 in my log?I think I also have a connectivity issue on the ITS or IAT wire. Intake Air signal goes higher with no voltage, and so I am getting what appears to be a high reading on the ITS. With the brown wire connected on the MAFT, IAT...

So, I'm seeing that my car is not in "learn" mode, correct?I found a post that I have to meet these requirements for that to happen: Coolant temp >= 190F * Intake air temp < 123F * Baro >= 22.9 inHg * Baro

So, car now idles and drives low rpm pretty well.However, 02 sensor not cycling. I have a new one, but figured I would go do one log to see if it would start cycling?I logged a part throttle run through some gears. Can anyone take a look at the log if I email it to you and see what you...

Ok, so my IPS was barely touching. I adjusted it to contact, then 15/16 of a turn per the service manual.Guess what, NO stalling when pushing in the clutch coming to a stop! Amazing how that works!I checked timing with plug grounded and I'm at 5 btdc.I screwed with the BISS at that...

Link changes the % to 0. 10% is correct on tuner pro. Both are .62 v or .6x. That I did some research on.But yes, I’m going to check the IPS for continuity and 3/4 turn past context as the set point.

That's a good suggestion on the borrow link thing. If it wasn't such a steep learning curve, I would just say screw it and buy Link but I have no clue what I would do with it.I would love to know someone around greater Detroit that could help me go through my car for a few hours, just to check...

Well, somewhat success, or starting to:1. Adjusted throttle cable per faq's. 2. Checked TPS in correct position, think so: 10.6% at idle on Tuner Pro 3. Adjusted BISS so ISC was reading 29 steps at my 900rpm idle set pointIs there a line in tuner pro that tells me if I am in open or...

USB cable #3 works! Tuner pro doesn’t see it when tested, but when hooked up to car it scans!TPS with throttle closed reads 10.2%, goes to 100% at wide open. This is set correctly then, yes? I think I had adjusted it to read .67V so should be at 10% at idle?The idle position sensor...

Thanks guys!

Updating/replacing bulbs. For tail lights, anyone replace their 2057s with LEDs like Sylvania 2057 White SYL LED Mini Bulbs?I did a search but didn't come up with anything.-PJ

For Throttle stop and TPS, does this sound reasonable:1. Adjust throttle cable so there is tension on it but just before throttle plate moves. 2. Adjust the TPS so that when at 0% throttle it reads .63VI think I am missing something, though. How do I know if the throttle stop is set...

While I'm waiting for a USB to Serial connector that will hopefully be recognized by Tunerpro, I should get down to basics and make sure my throttle position is set up.I was searching VFAQ, and what I want to understand is:Position of throttle plate vs TPS vs IPS when no throttle engaged...

I don't run them, but I have some Forgelines that are around that dimension that I can now mount up to show you how they fit. I need to understand where the rim width is actually measured. Is width actually the inside to inside dimension where the tire bead rests? If so my forgelines are likely...

^^^^^ All good inputs. On the part of "getting going to sell the car"... that is the narrative, but once it becomes "jump in and drive/go autocrossing/etc." that might change... whatever my beautiful wife will put up with is sort of the way it will go.I figure it's not a big deal to send a...

MMCD not connecting. Palm M100 resets itself every 5 minutes. WTF.Figured I would join at least this millenium and go with Tuner Pro on a laptop. First Serial to USB adapter was advertised horribly and not compatible with Windows 10. New adapter on the way. Should be logging with Tuner Pro...

Well, the fuel pump relay made a night and day difference. I have some wire, will try out. Everything in the car is dim with or without car on so it can’t hurt.I downloaded MMCD, got a serial to usb connector, configured it correctly, and now have MMCD on my palm!However, connected to the...

When I went down the hole of mods, I had a 1G MAS and in speaking with Jeff I mentioned I had access to LT1 MAFs so he suggested I could run one of those with his chip and an MAFT. Though I never did it, you could use as blow through so I was thinking it gave a bit of flexibility. He suggested...

I see the confusion.Everything I have for this setup I had in 2008 or prior. I said "I ordered a Keydiver chip" but that was very past tense. Sorry for the confusion. I have a really old setup with hardly any miles.If there is an inexpensive way to incorporate a wideband/narrow band sim...

Reason for no DSMLink: Budget is zero for the car. I am getting it running to show new owner and sell, basically. I've already spent way more than I had hoped but want to do the right thing.In 2008 it ran reasonably well on current setup. I have to find what changed/died to get it...

Ok, I searched the forum for datalogging options. - Have my pocketlogger cable, so I have a cable with a DB9 connector.- Not thrilled with using a Palm to log, so throw that out.- Looking for best software that I could use with the cable I have.TunerPro: This I think is a good option...
