Cret Posted May 25, 2005 Posted May 25, 2005 << No probs Jim, and congrats to you both, sorry for the belated post. Lol did I ring mid proposal? >> Ha ha - not quite matey. << Jim can?t believe how much hassle your having with the leggy mate; anything I can do to help lets us know. And you had her running so well after fitting the TD05 and fixing the boost leek. >> Yes it was running well until I started swapping ECUs around etc ready for when I get my voschip. It has shown up error code 45 with 3 different ECUs now but that wasn't showing on my old 8 bit one. I believe the newer 16 bit ones may be more sensitive to picking things up which would explain why it wasn't picked up before. The code means faulty pressure exchange solenoid or map sensor but I've tried Andi's solenoid, and tried a different map sensor I had and the code is still there. Am a bit stumped now. But my new leather interior is getting delivered this avvy and I'll be fitting that (probably in the rain this afternoon!).
Cret Posted May 26, 2005 Posted May 26, 2005 Right ok, I?ve been doing some testing this evening to try and get to the root of this. I swapped out a couple of parts beforehand which included removing the VTA BOV and replacing it with the original one, and replacing the vacuum hose from the manifold to the pressure exchange solenoid and from that to the map sensor. Swapping these bits made no difference. So next I attached wires to various sensor wires at the ecu plugs so I could easily monitor the voltages or various sensors. After doing this I tested the MAP sensor and the pressure exchange solenoid to see what the voltage readings were compared with the specs shown on the ECU diagrams I have (for an early WRX). The Map sensor tested: Ignition ? 2.71v Idle ? 1.47v (Ignition spec: 2.4-2.7v) (Idle spec: 1.4 ?1.6v) Pressure exchange solenoid tested: Ignition ? 11.66v Idle ? 13.58v (Ignition spec: 10-13v) (Idle spec: 13-14v) Now seeing as the voltages being returned at the ECU are within the correct ranges for both the map sensor and the pressure exchange solenoid, I?m now really at a loss to understand why the ECU is giving error 45 which indicates a fault with one of these two. Doesn?t make sense to me. All suggestions as to why it?s erroring when the sensors seem ok will be gratefully received as this is starting to really make me mad.
andy_bray Posted May 26, 2005 Posted May 26, 2005 Good morning all ... Jim dude is there a company in the uk that is near Liverpool or Haysham that can sort the Leggy out ??? I know it will cost money , but it will save you going crazy M8......
Jimmy Mc Posted May 26, 2005 Posted May 26, 2005 Morning Dudes! Fitted my Yoshimura exhaust can last night!Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet
Cret Posted May 26, 2005 Posted May 26, 2005 Andi - don't think that's the answer to be honest but cheers for the suggestion. If they have a select monitor it'll probably only tell them what I already know that the sensors are giving the correct signals. It's something else that I think needs to be found via a lot of head scratching etc. Have had enough of it now though. Anyway - can't afford extra trips across now I've got a wedding to pay for.
Jimmy Mc Posted May 26, 2005 Posted May 26, 2005 Jim, how's the bike coming along? Will it be ready for TT?
Cret Posted May 26, 2005 Posted May 26, 2005 Won't be ready for TT Jimmy sadly. New engine is in and running but I'm waiting on a rear master cylinder before I can put it all back together. Might need a new gear linkage too as there's quite a bit of play in my one. Can't wait though!
andy_bray Posted May 27, 2005 Posted May 27, 2005 Sorry to hear that Jim dude , I wish that I could help you out M8 . Talking of help , Could you give me a hand sometime with my leggy Jim It is just to find out what parts to stop that knocking in the front !!!
Cret Posted May 27, 2005 Posted May 27, 2005 Yes mate no problem! Just give me a shout at some point over the weekend.
andy_bray Posted May 27, 2005 Posted May 27, 2005 << Yes mate no problem! Just give me a shout at some point over the weekend. >> Thanx bud, Iam off to London again next week, so I can get my parts for the leggy while Iam there... Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet....
Cret Posted May 27, 2005 Posted May 27, 2005 Wish I even knew what parts I needed for mine!! However with a bit of luck I might have an idea fairly soon.....
andy_bray Posted May 27, 2005 Posted May 27, 2005 Good evening dudes , What has the weather give us for the long weekend then??? Had manx telecom fixing the computer...
Cret Posted May 28, 2005 Posted May 28, 2005 What was up with it dude? Yay - just got a new brake pipe made to replace the burst one on the rangie and it only cost a fiver. They weren't going to do it until Tuesday and I want the rangie to take the boat out on monday but after a bit of "oh no, I really need it doing" they made it - only took 2 minutes! Only worry is if it's long enough to reach as it was the last piece of pipe they had..... Bad news is that my exhaust got ripped off going down my mum's pothole filled lane from the downpipe back. Good news though was that it was blowing a little anyway so whilst it was off I dragged out the old noah's arc welder and sorted out the gaps where it was blowing. Sounds much smoother now.
andy_bray Posted May 29, 2005 Posted May 29, 2005 Jim dude did you see the White LEGGY Estate outside Japan direct....Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet...
andy_bray Posted May 30, 2005 Posted May 30, 2005 Good morning dudes , STI out for a play before I go away on hols....
dooahhdoo Posted May 30, 2005 Posted May 30, 2005 << Evening dudes, how did the TT go? Paul >> Its only practise week Paul. Serious influx of bikes around now until next weekend and then a 10 minute journey turns into a 45 minute journey Got my pushbike at the ready for to and from work though
Jimmy Mc Posted May 31, 2005 Posted May 31, 2005 Morning Dudes! Had a sweeeeeeeet weekend showing tourists the way round the TT course!
Cret Posted May 31, 2005 Posted May 31, 2005 Morning dudes! No Andi - haven't spotted that one but the other day I saw what looked very much like a black twin turbo RS going past. Nice grey R32 GTR going round at the moment too!
