I recently took my car to Nightowl Performance. I found them on google and ended up being very close to my house in Marietta. I couldnt figure our my idle surge problem, they did a pretty extensive diagnostic and found it to be a bad FIAV. They did a good job and had good prices too. No 4wd dyno...
UpdateWell I got a replacement ecu and i was right the idle drivers were bad in the old one. The iac now moves and work. Unfortunately I'm still having the same idle problems. I guess the next step is to try a boost leak test in hopes to find something.
I have the same issue with my car. I was able to find what I believe is it on rockauto but what is pictured doesnt seem to match the connector on the harness. just a stock photo maybe.
I plan on just finding a used unit online. I was just going to look for another 95 96 ecu but I didn't know if I could use any other years. Eprom isn't that big of a deal to me but I'd prefer it just in case I look for bigger power later on. Going rate seems to be about 100 bucks so that doesn't...
Thanks for the link joejoe. I remember coming across that site while doing research but just glanced over it. After reading it though that explains why I'm getting 40 ohms. Looks to be a revised unit. Also caugh my attention about the FIAV seal leak problem. I noticed mine has dried coolant on...
I've been having problems getting my car to idle, I'll post a link below. I did a smoke test and didn't find any leaks but I have yet to do a boost leak test, my compressor is broken. I pulled the IAC and tested it. It looks to be a newer mitsubishi unit and I got consistent 40 ohm readings on...
I wasn't able to pull the IAC to test because it was too dark by the time I got home. I did pull off the connector and test it though. It's getting 12 volts to the 2 center plugs on the connector. Is this a good sign that the ecu drivers aren't fried yet? I should be able to pull the IAC...
Is the code just being triggered by the bad idle or would the purge valve need replacing too? Also, the previous owner said he had been driving the car with the bad idle for a while, thats Fing great about the ecu. Guess ill be searching to test the IAC and ECU now.Rough start and belt is...
