I forget, did you change out the coolant sensor? If it only happens in closed loop, seems like the o2 sensor, tps, or ECU. You said you already replaced the o2 sensor, I think the tps too? The coolant sensor would be something I'd try replacing too.

I dont see it being the dizzy though, I would think the problem would exist no matter the throttle and it would be worse under boost.

Yes, o2 sensor, coolant temp sensor, I went thru 3 TPS's

Ill try the ECU at least thats easy and the MPI relay

Changed the ECU today.....same shit, no difference. Skrap went to switch his "brand new" distributor that didnt work with another one, so we tried it on my car and we found out the "new" one we got has misaligned rotor

block off plate for what?

i have the first ecu, but not installed yet. the second one is just ridiculous

**RedLine DOHC** · 12-09-2009, 01:36 AM

iac block off... expencive but I want one.lol

**mko** · 12-09-2009, 06:12 AM

its like 10 bucks

**mko** · 12-10-2009, 05:35 PM

SO SO SO, I got it fixed. OMG what a relief.

well the MAFT needs a RPM signal so u can tune with the knobs for low, mid and wot, but I dont use it since I have the SAFC do the fine tuning

Anyway, I had the wire tapped in the distributor for RPM signal, and soldered there. i was playing with it today and wiggled the 2-pin plug and it kind of did the hiccup, so I was like hmm and pulled that wire off and tada. so the MAFT was stealin the signal form the ECU to the distributor - making it weak enough to trip the power transistor shut meaning that the level of the incoming signal was so low that the power transistor wasnt able to open at times....doing the hiccup. Thats why it was quiet, and not like a misfire sound /pop/

Back on track!

I snagged a few thing for the DOHC swap from the j/y today. I have to make them look good now.

I need to know where i can buy a weldable 6AN fitting for the water return line

My wiper got messed up when the deer hit me.......so i follow up.....

Im getting the 94 GS harness tomorrow and the DOHC timing belt covers sometime this month I think

Noice!

Keep it up mang... Looking forward to see your progress...

Nice work so far. I like the 8g spoiler on the 7g. Any chance you can post up some detail shots of how you modded your front bumper cover for the IC? I'm struggling with finding a nice clean way to get good airflow to mine. I'm thinking I'll get the 7gB front cover and trim it but don't know how to roll the edges around on the plastic so it looks stock (I know heat doesn't work.)

All i have pix of is my old bumper.

How it started:

It worked for the IC, but I wanted my car to be a bit more stealthy, so i got new bumber and started all over with smaller IC. Trimmed the middle duct so it doesnt rub against the IC, then I cut the upper end of the duct as straight as possible. Then where I had a straight cut line, measured 1 inch above and cut another straight line and removed that piece. The first piece I cut that had part of the duct, i screwed it down with small screws and pieces of strapping line the way i wanted it, and on the back of it I use 3 plies of fiberglass cloth and resin . Edges were rounded with fiberglass cloth and resin and then fiberglass bondo to smooth everything out.
