What did you do to your car today?

[disturbedphil]

Limp mode... Doesnt sound good

[wde_bdy]

Is that the light at the end of the tunnel or just someone with a lantern?

I'm going to guess that is a train coming through the tunnel.

Na its just some bastard with a tourch bringing you more work

[Mr Ree]

Why limp mode, Scott?

Any fault codes?

Were you in positive pressure at WOT when this happened?

[Stott69]

May not be limp mode. Started a tech thread with a good description of whats going wrong. Its not throwing codes back at me or telling me its ok. Car seems to drive fine boost and all, just not idle

[touge rolla]

Put the CT20b on and took it for a drive.
Then did up the bolts holding the bov on

Yesterday



And a much higher result than expected!!

[touge_ae101]

bought new van over the weekend.. 3L turbo diesel manual supercustom. been lowered, cert, evo 8 wheels and tints. all it needs is some 6x9s, sub + amp and a bigger exhaust. should be good for towing racecars/lugging mountain bikes and engine parts around. also feels good to be back to driving a toyota everyday!

now need to sell the volvo.. anybody want a 2000 V70 wagon 2.3L turbo 5cyl?? will try put up a fir sale thread

Whose the Sparkie Scotty????

If you need help go see Al @ Macbilt Engineering he'll sought through your issue's and will bring in his own Sparkie.

Having a Mines ecu makes me think it is/was a TS members car, pretty sure there was a build thread. I may be wrong though.

It was listed on JZ forums a while back and it was in repair mode. Guess he fixed everything up

[Stott69]

Yea, saw someone say that on the last listing. Mine may just be stuffed caps in the ecu, fingers crossed

[RobertC]

sorted a thule 591 for bike carrying duties

[Bling]

Put a freshly charged battery in it. Shut the door and the rear windscreen half popped out of the frame. Bit of a WTF moment! I guess I won't be taking it for a WOF check today after all! Got it home for the first time in probably 3-4 months, so that is a plus though. Will have all three cars on one property this arvo.

[softlad]

Fitted a new throttle idle speed valve this morning, what a bitch that is to get to!
The thing that makes it even more painful is the fact it didn't correct the issue with hunting from 1500 - 2000 rpm when idling

Next job will be to replace every vaccunm pipe, unless any good suggestions?

[Mr Ree]

Put it on a dyno and guessed 1kw off what it ran...279kw result, and more importantly a baseline figure to compare what my new big plenum FFIM and 82mm throttle body do for the curves.
