    1G 1g fwd wheel offset for 17x8?

    I see now that 40mm should be ideal?.. Sorry I should have searched a little harder. But does anyone have a range of offset that will for sure work for the 17x8s?

    1G 1g fwd wheel offset for 17x8?

    Have a quick one for whoever might know. So I’m getting ready to purchase a new set of wheels for my 1ga fwd. Specifically a set of Konig wheels. After purchasing a set for my Miata I’m highly impressed for the price point. Very lightweight, extremely strong, and extremely affordable!! Anyway...

    1G LSD options for my 1g fwd?

    Thanks again everyone, this answered all my questions and then some. I may never own the AWD DSM I've always wanted (especially with the used market). But I figure I can obtain the next best thing. A properly sorted fwd with a lsd. Plus get to support our community and vendors! I'll be in touch...

    1G LSD options for my 1g fwd?

    Thanks man that's great info! I'll definitely be going through you on everything I need. Hopefully it will help you rebound and get back on your feet. Now I guess the only question is which of the 2 I should go with, Kaaz or Quaife? It's mostly going to live on the streets. With an occasional...

    1G LSD options for my 1g fwd?

    Thanks for input guys. That kind of clears things up. I really wasn't sure about the AWD diffs working in a fwd.I actually already have done the equal length axle mod a few years ago. Seems like it marginally helped. Anyone know what a good alignment toe-in is for a fwd to help with torque...

    1G LSD options for my 1g fwd?

    Hi y'all, have a quick question for whomever. So I'm one of the tractionally challenged, wrong wheel drive guys;). With my 91 talon tsi fwd. Now I'm finally making some decent power, probably 300w. But the torque steer is now unbearable and quite dangerous. I'm ready to break the bank and find...

    1G 6 bolt block threaded plugs??

    Have 6 bolt bare block I'm getting ready to build. It's stripped down as bare as you can get. Was wondering if anyone knows off hand a list all threaded pipe plugs I'll need? Are they just npt plugs? And where's a good place to get them? Thanks

    1G Crunchy shifter syndrome, please help!!

    Yeah I bit the bullet and purchased OEM master and slave. Also installed a braided clutch line. I'll have to look into the 2g rod, thanks.Yes I have investigated my pedal assembly, it seems ideal. No slop or play, or very little. I've been fairly fortunate with a few things like that. I'm...

    1G Crunchy shifter syndrome, please help!!

    Well on my way home from work I stopped in a empty parking lot and did the clutch drag test. As it turns out I do have a small amount of drag above 6k. It's pretty suttle, but it's there. So tomorrow I'll try to adjust the clutch pedal out some more. If I remember correctly though, I'm just...

    1G Crunchy shifter syndrome, please help!!

    Thanks Erik, that's great info. I have done this test in the past, but it's been a while. And have done clutch job since the last time, so I'll definitely give it another try. Just FYI, I love your YouTube channel, always make great content. Been patiently waiting for some content on the new...

    1G Crunchy shifter syndrome, please help!!

    So I've owned my 1g fwd talon now for 3 years, and have basically gone through everything in that time. My goals have always been just a well sorted fun car to daily during the warmer months.Since I've owned the car I've always had shifting issues, and can't ever find a remedy. I've done all...

    ECMlink Dreaded idle surge after AEM wideband install?.?

    Just be cautious man, learn from my stupidity lol. Otherwise it's a great location to run wiring through, comes out in an ideal location.So one last question, a little off topic. So like I stated, I switched back to my narrow band o2 for normal operations. And was planning on welding in a bung...

    ECMlink Dreaded idle surge after AEM wideband install?.?

    That's just my luck, I can't leave anything up to chance. It's like a curse at times. But trying to look at the bright side. Think of how bad that could have gone. A fried ecu, or sensors, or it could have burnt my car up a month down the road. I made quick work out of fixing it today before...
  15. Sbgriffin

    ECMlink Dreaded idle surge after AEM wideband install?.?

    Well this one is a rough one for me admit, but my hopes here is possibly prevent another member from making the same bonehead mistake. So let start by saying, anyone with a 1g knows the very limited options for running wires through the firewall. Your options are, running through the steering...

    ECMlink Dreaded idle surge after AEM wideband install?.?

    Have kind of a unfortunate update for you. Things went from bad to worse on my wiring conundrum. First I decided to go ahead an order a brand new ISC, just to eliminate that being a possibility. After installing it, and logging the first start up. I realized I was having more issues. I had...

    ECMlink Dreaded idle surge after AEM wideband install?.?

    Let me ask you one more question, and then we can let this thread die. So today I actually manually set my idle to around 1100rpm, and took it for a quick test drive. It really seems like I should be able to run like that for now, until I get the issue sorted. Obviously a lot of people run...

    ECMlink Dreaded idle surge after AEM wideband install?.?

    Looking at this diagram, shows exactly what I need to see. Definitely one of the better ones I've seen. But here's the thing, pin#102 supplies most the sensors with it's 12v source. So if I was having an issue with that circuit, I would think it would be on all the sensors. I guess depending on...

    ECMlink Dreaded idle surge after AEM wideband install?.?

    Yes I agree, that's awesome. Thanks for sharing.
  20. Sbgriffin

    ECMlink Dreaded idle surge after AEM wideband install?.?

    Yeah what I'm referring to is the timing ground connector by the battery, and then the diagnostics connector on the obd connector. Just like when you set your base timing, your supposed to ground that connector. Supposed to stabilize your rpm, and timing (I think). Well anyway you can do both of...

    ECMlink Dreaded idle surge after AEM wideband install?.?

    Thanks for all the input, I'm at work now, but I'll look over the logs when I get home. You brought up a few good points, and things that I really need to try. I'm getting some huge inaccuracies through my AEM wideband analog output. It's showing a healthy 14.5-14.9 on my gauge, but logging a...
  22. Sbgriffin

    ECMlink Dreaded idle surge after AEM wideband install?.?

    So I got my new/used ISC in the mail today, and quickly installed it. I thought my issues were solved, but not 100% yet. First heat cycle, it idled exactly where it use to. Starting around 1400rpm, after a minute drops down to about 1000. And down to my target idle at 850 in closed loop. But...
  23. Sbgriffin

    ECMlink Dreaded idle surge after AEM wideband install?.?

    Yeah actually I wasn't aware of this, that's great to know. I've been going through ohm racing for my harness connectors. Although I've had decent luck with them, he doesn't have near the selection as that. Also they seem to be a bit more reasonably priced. Thanks again.
  24. Sbgriffin

    ECMlink Dreaded idle surge after AEM wideband install?.?

    Perfect, that's exactly what I needed to know. Now at least I can test every wire to ISC plug. Also one thing i can probably cross off being an issue is my ECU. I just got it back from ecmtuning. I sent it off to be checked out, because of some of the issues I'm having. And he gave it clean bill...
  25. Sbgriffin

    ECMlink Dreaded idle surge after AEM wideband install?.?

    Unfortunately I had already had ordered a used one from performance partout, it was only $30 shipped. So I guess it's worth the gamble. I had replaced my isc once already, back in 2017. If I remember correctly it was a standard brand, not sure why it failed so fast. I did take it apart, and...
  26. Sbgriffin

    ECMlink Dreaded idle surge after AEM wideband install?.?

    AEM widebands are nice for that reason, they don't ever need calibrated in open air. They a chip on the O2 harness that takes a sample of air every time it's powered up. Also the brake cleaner o2 test I posted up above didn't work on my sensor, which lead me to believe it was bad. That was not...
  27. Sbgriffin

    ECMlink Dreaded idle surge after AEM wideband install?.?

    Yeah that's a good idea. I did try unplugging the isc, with no luck. But really that probably isn't a good test for anything, because I'm sure it could be stuck open. I think I'll do that tomorrow, along with an ohm test. Thanks.
  28. Sbgriffin

    ECMlink Dreaded idle surge after AEM wideband install?.?

    Yes, it's the version that still leaves previsions for IAC to work. It's worked well for me.
  29. Sbgriffin

    ECMlink Dreaded idle surge after AEM wideband install?.?

    I actually blocked off my fiav several years ago, and looped the lines. Haven't had a problem with that mod, seems to work just fine with only the IAC regulating my idle. I'm really leaning towards having a bad o2 sensor, right out of the box. I just can't understand how that would raise my...

    ECMlink Dreaded idle surge after AEM wideband install?.?

    This is the test I'm using, but not getting the same result.
  31. Sbgriffin

    ECMlink Dreaded idle surge after AEM wideband install?.?

    So I just went out and unscrewed my wideband sensor, and tested it using brake cleaner. And I'm not getting it to go rich, it only goes completely lean then won't respond. So I'd say I have a bad sensor, wouldn't you guys think the same?
  32. Sbgriffin

    ECMlink Dreaded idle surge after AEM wideband install?.?

    Yes, all was well before I went down this rabbit hole. Also I did the wideband install first, and started it. Only ran it for a short cycle, but it wasn't idling that high.Yeah so I'm pretty sure this is a mechanical issue, not tune. The reason I think this is, prior to it getting to the idle...
  33. Sbgriffin

    ECMlink Dreaded idle surge after AEM wideband install?.?

    So the more I think about it, the more I'm convinced it has to be a vac/boost leak. Thats the only thing that can make the rpm's go up that high. When I have it set to target 850, and verified that the throttle plate is closed all the way. And it almost has to be after the throttle body. I'll do...
  34. Sbgriffin

    ECMlink Dreaded idle surge after AEM wideband install?.?

    Well I can definitely give that a try tomorrow. I think also just for piece of mind, I'll unscrew my wideband and test it. Using the brake cleaner and rag trick. Make sure it's responding reasonably. I really think I might have several issues going on here.
  35. Sbgriffin

    ECMlink Dreaded idle surge after AEM wideband install?.?

    So my car has been down for a few weeks doing a few upgrades, and a heater core replacement. Installing a new AEM uego wideband, and wiring it in to be logged. Also using link to simulate the narrow band signal. Like already stated, I decided to also tackle my heater core replacement. So...

    ECMlink Bonehead mistake, hoping for the best, Please help...

    Yeah I agree, I've been loosing sleep over it, trying to figure out what happened. But I figure it's time to move forward, and do a sanitary fix, supplying a new ground. Then here in a few months I'll be doing a heater core replacement. I'll be able to thoroughly inspected back there, and...
  37. Sbgriffin

    ECMlink Bonehead mistake, hoping for the best, Please help...

    Good to know, that's where all go with it then. For all I know it could just be my degrading harness anyway. Wouldn't be the first point of failure on it. Been slowly replacing one plug after the next. Anyway thanks for the help.
  38. Sbgriffin

    ECMlink Bonehead mistake, hoping for the best, Please help...

    Also a heater core job is in my future, I'm starting to smell antifreeze. So maybe I can do a temp fix for now, and thorough investigation/fix while I'm in there?. Does sound reasonable?
  39. Sbgriffin

    ECMlink Bonehead mistake, hoping for the best, Please help...

    So after running a temp ground from the back of the intake, to the cas plug pin 4. The car fired right up, just like normal. Huge relief:thumb:. But now I'm wondering what I should do for a permanent fix?. Obviously it would be nice to know what exactly caused this BS. If I did happen to have...
  40. Sbgriffin

    ECMlink Bonehead mistake, hoping for the best, Please help...

    Alright I can definitely use some input on this. Ive pretty much confirmed that I have a bad ground at the CAS, it's the only wire I can't get an ohm reading through. I'm testing each wires resistance individually, from the ECU, to the cas plug. So the only explanation I can think of is, I might...
  41. Sbgriffin

    ECMlink Bonehead mistake, hoping for the best, Please help...

    So if it's an open ground, should I just supply a new one to the ECU? If so which pin is right ground for the CAS?
  42. Sbgriffin

    ECMlink Bonehead mistake, hoping for the best, Please help...

    After more testing today, there's good, bad, and more confusion. The first thing I did was remove the ECU, and triple check all my connections. I'm 100% confident it's correct now. Second I plugged the ECU back in, and tested all four wires with my multimeter at the CAS. Looking at the picture...
  43. Sbgriffin

    ECMlink Bonehead mistake, hoping for the best, Please help...

    So I just had a thought, might simplify diagnosing this. So I do have a second ecu, non-eprom. But I could hook it up, just to see if it fires. Obviously it wouldn't be scaled for my injectors, or anything else. So I wouldn't run it long. But does anyone see any issues with that plan?
  44. Sbgriffin

    ECMlink Bonehead mistake, hoping for the best, Please help...

    Yeah good call, i'Il look it over again tomorrow. If that doesn't work out, I guess I need to test the cps circuit. That shouldn't be too hard. Got a switched +12v, ground, and white signal wire. Not sure, but I think the forth wire is for tach signal? Either way I'm sure I'm just missing...
  45. Sbgriffin

    ECMlink Bonehead mistake, hoping for the best, Please help...

    Yeah so I've cleared the code several times now, it keeps on coming back?. I just got done retracing my wiring, and I'm confident it hooked up right now. I also unhooked my cam position sensor plug, using a scrap piece of wire, and an ohm meter I tested continuity. From the ECU to the cps, it's...
  46. Sbgriffin

    ECMlink Bonehead mistake, hoping for the best, Please help...

    Good point, I'll check for spark tomorrow. I did however clear the code twice. It came right back the first time, 2nd time it didn't. Probably because I didn't crank it over anymore. But that makes me feel a little better, being there both 5v inputs. Can't really see how that would damage the...
  47. Sbgriffin

    ECMlink Bonehead mistake, hoping for the best, Please help...

    So this one I'm ashamed I'm having to ask about, completely preventable, and I know better. So I was installing my new aem uego wideband, putting the sensor in place of the stock o2, and so I could log with link. All was going peachy til the last step, tapping into the O2 signal input at the...

    2G Smoking when it's cold outside

    Yeah you'll probably be much happier with that option. Also one thing you can do if your still running pcv, is add an aluminum check valve in line. Our PCV always leaks, which just adds crank case pressure. I've tried both with and without the the PCV, and I get less oil consumption with it in...

    2G Smoking when it's cold outside

    Yeah I imagine a little more, but I haven't noticed any in my intake pipe. My bronze filter proved to be very restrictive, defeating the purpose of the catch can all together. I tried running it without the filter for a week or so. Then decided to go with the happy medium approach, and have been...
