something something.... DANGER ZONE!

[shorestiva]

Started cleaning up my spare aspire knuckles so I can replace the ones that are already on the car. I'm starting to get a very small amount of play in the left side.




Sensor died on my lm1 a few months ago so I ordered a new wideband. Crazy how small these things are now.

Nice! It's possible that the TPS is failing or has corrosion or something. That might make things act up.

[shorestiva]

Haven't tried that but it looks identical and the part numbers are the same.

[Advancedynamix]

Hmmm, very strange. Our B6d came with the rheostatic TPS. Does the b3 tps fit on that throttle body?

[shorestiva]

The tps that came on it. It's the same as the b3 tps.

[Advancedynamix]

What TPS are you running?

[shorestiva]

Work was slow yesterday so I adjusted it. It wasn't that far off. Seems to have helped but it still does it when the idle speed is high.

[Advancedynamix]

Ok so it sounds like you need to check TPS adjustment, and throttle plate position.

My thoughts exactly.

[shorestiva]

It's on my to do list just haven't got there yet lol.

The dash pot was bent so I was more worried about it holding the throttle open slightly so it'd idle high. The high rpm throttle issues seem to be related to idle speed. When you let off the throttle it decelerates like normal for half a second then it starts to decel even faster almost like a valve or switch is closed. It'll also do this at light throttle low speeds (30mph through town). Ill be holding steady speed/throttle then all of a sudden it'll start decelerating like I've closed the throttle. It only does this when it idles high. I'm wondering if the idle switch is adjusted wrong and the ecu is changing timing in a attempt to bring the idle speed down? When it does this at high rpms going off the throttle then back on will make the car jerk and if you aren't on the throttle hard enough it'll make your foot back off the gas so it'll start to decel again. Once it starts to decel your foot starts to press on the gas making it jerk again. It'll get stuck in a cycle like this until you floor it again. Hopefully this makes sense I don't know how else to explain it.

[Advancedynamix]

Looking Good! I don't think a loose dash pot would cause any mid throttle high rpm power surges. Have you checked the internals in your distributor? Maybe the timing is doing funny stuff. Also, is it possible that your VICS is causing the weird power surges?

[shorestiva]

Got it all back together on Friday. No more burning oil smell.



Finally got around to attempting a gauge pod. The oil pressure gauge has just been sliding across the dash for the last year or so lol. Also installed the coolant temp gauge. Its not finished yet need to make a top for it but its better than what I had. You can see that my new windshield is already dirty too lol.

I don't think it's going bad it's been that far off ever since I bought the car. I'm not going to bother with replacing it unless it moves more or starts wobbling. Has Nerd even been on recently? I don't think I've seen him post anything in a while.

First one I just clipped it's head with my shoulder. Didn't come off or anything. Still rode up and passed my ASE tests after I stopped and calmed down lol. Sprained my shoulder pretty bad that time. This time it just ran right into my leg. Saw it coming from pretty far off so I had slowed down a lot. Probably why it wasn't that bad this time.

The bp iac is different than the 6t/6d idle valves I think. Not really sure if I could delete it.

[skeeters_keeper]

Deer on a bike is no fun! I clipped one once but didn't go down. I know a few others locally who haven't been so lucky.


As far as the IAC goes, I deleted mine on my BP. Machined a little blockoff plate. Started and idled fine even at 1*f over the winter.
