  • 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.

    • What TPS are you running?

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

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

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

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

              • 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.

                • Think I figured out part of why my a/c doesn't work

                  • You can buy just the sensor for the LM1

                    • I know but I'm planning on swapping to megasquirt soon so I won't need the lm1 anymore.

                      • Painted my knuckles and did the shim selection procedure. Cobbled together a tool out of stuff in the tool room at work and 5/8 bolt/hardware. Ended up with a 13 shim in one side and had to slightly sand down a 12 for the other.





                        Didn't realize I grabbed a cheap bolt till halfway through the first knuckle. Started to stretch and wouldn't torque over 150.

                        • ^ oops!

                          Just out of curiosity, can you get an accurate measurement of the gap between the outer races and see how that correlates with the "correct" shim? I'm working on a theory.
                          Trees aren't kind to me...

                          currently: 2 88Ls (Scrappy and Jersey), 88LX, 90L(Pepe), 91L, 91GL (Skippy) 93 GL Sport (the Mighty Favakk), 94 (Bruce) & 95 Aspire SEs, 97 Aspire (The Joker),
                          94 Justy 4WD, 87 Fiero GT, plus 2 parts cars. That's my fleet.

                            Sorry didn't have a set of calipers in the shop that would fit in there to measure and didn't feel like pressing the races back out. I should be doing another set soonish that I could measure.




                            All together might have them on the car this weekend.

                            • Where do you source new shims?

                                And do you wanna sell one of those "cobbled" together tools you made there?
