    mtx-l issues upon installation

    i posted a thread awhile back asking the same question, ended up being the tab on the wire that goes to the sensor wasnt going the right way so my o2 sensor wasn't plugging in all the way.

    Important: Improvements on Saturn Alternator Swap

    on the 99 gsx I just did we flipped the block upside down to where it looked like an upside down house, it was close to the alt fan blades so for safety I grinded it some, the nut and bolt where sort of close to the belt but not close enough to be a real issue. the 38 must have been an...

    Important: Improvements on Saturn Alternator Swap

    I don't know if this has already been posted but I want to restate it if it hasn't been. So I am doing a buddy's 2g saturn alt. swap this entire week. originally I hadn't grinded enough off the alt. to get the 39 inch belt to fit so I went to a 39.5 belt. don't do that after fighting with it...

    How much are you looking to get out of it, and on the manual trans awd or fwd? If you wanted to get rid of the trans and its an awd trans how much would you want for it? My daughters mom is in bloomingdale, so somewhat familiary with the area.

    fuel return questions (testing)

    http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/articles-engine-fuel/338152-compression-leak-down-testing.htmlthis might help in this case, since your trying to get fuel to go through but not actually start the motor.it would be just like doing a compression test, where you pull your MPI fuse out causing...

    fuel return questions (testing)

    I wouldn't pull the injectors out unless you mean out of the intake, if you really want to see it get past the regulator take the return line off right after the regulator but be prepared for a mess from the gas coming out. I doubt the regulators bad if it is it would be the diaphragm being...

    fuel return questions (testing)

    You should be able to test it, my afpr can be set with the motor off it may change a bit when the cars on but not much, as long as your fuel pumps running you should be getting fuel past the regulator or else the fuel would have no where else to go but pressurize and end up finding a hole to go...

    fuel return questions (testing)

    The pressure coming from the fuel pump pushing through the small lines might push it open, and the diaphragm, just opens to 43 psi but I'd imagine theres always a hole there, it could be clogged from particles from your gas tank that the filter didn't stop. worse case scenario if your near a...

    yea and no, working in a area where I see circuit boards regularly sometimes, they will be visibly damaged other times it will look like a new board but one of the chips popped.

    Strange no power issue

    what size alt fuse do you have? if its not blowing but the wire melted. I would check to make sure the fuse isn't really big and not blowing when theres a short in the alt. line. I only say that because awhile back I was blowing my alt fuse it was a 80 amp and my alt power wire was touching my...

    Low clutch pressure after replacing clutch cylinder?

    that would be my first guess, wierd that it regained pressure though. I would try to bleed the slave again and see what happens. you might still double check the rod since you said it was engaging really low to the floor but air in the lines would be my first guess.
  17. jcarmichael

    Low clutch pressure after replacing clutch cylinder?

    yea it changes the engagement point, the rod goes into the master cylinder to affect the pressure and amount of fluid transfered I believe. worse case scenario I would try to do the adjustment until the slave cylinder has a bit of play in it, and then go from there. the only other thing I would...

    Low clutch pressure after replacing clutch cylinder?

    basically what he is saying is there is a rod on the back of your clutch pedal assembly. what I took from the video when i watched it awhile back was, feel your slave cylinder it should have a bit of play if you push it in. you want to tighten the screw until theres no play then back it off a...

    ECMlink logging advise

    what size injectors do you have? the air flow per rev looked decently good fluxuating from .28 to .25, but your combined fueltrims where way off. I would bump your global dead time up a little bit until you get your fuel trims. to be -/+ 5 percent. once you get that about right double check...

    Fuel Injector seal questions

    looks like the one that sits inside the actual intake for the injector to go into. I had to go to the junkyard to pull one awhile back because I managed to lose one. I am almost certain thats what it is, I think the ridges are normal if I recall the one I grabbed from the junkyard had them they...

    having trouble with new gm maf tuning

    I think you may be right because it lowers the amount of air the ecu think it is getting so using less fuel in the end.

    having trouble with new gm maf tuning

    ok makes sense, because that is about where it goes to. It wasn't laggy between shifts on the stock maf though. however I drove the car to work today as I do everyday, and for the most part it feels good. I just need to switch over to wot tuning now and so change out my clutch.

    having trouble with new gm maf tuning

    When you say static speeed just cruising at a low speed for that short amount of time. Also when you say the thresholds 8 am guessing you mean on the maf comp adjust link so set the global on the gm maf to 9.1?

    having trouble with new gm maf tuning

    after reading over all of that, my iat wasn't to high, my coolant temp was above 180 I changed my offeset t0 14 to be safe on that. the maf hz where above where they needed to be, the only thing I can think would be the o2 sensor not cycling. it was giving me a read back though any ideas?
