Re: Restoring AE86 w/ 4AGE 16v + HKS ITB + Haltech E6X

Haha I don't know much so I can't comment intelligently. But I did learn a bunch from that. Carbs are quite interesting and I'd like to learn someday :) I saw a video of SU / motorbike carbs in action and noticed the dampening function done via the oil fill center that you're mentioning. Tire mounti...

Re: Restoring AE86 w/ 4AGE 16v + HKS ITB + Haltech E6X

I'm getting a bit bored waiting for the refinish. I'm thinking about converting to COP for fun. Seems like the JDM plug probably ties the ground together, and then the other two pins are one for Ne (24 tooth), one is for the 4 tooth gear. I suppose I should just connect up the JDM dizzy to a o-scope...

Re: Restoring AE86 w/ 4AGE 16v + HKS ITB + Haltech E6X

Where is the slider valve? beneath 7? seems like fuel comes up from "4" and perhaps the slider controls the fuel flow.

That's great to hear. It's always wonderful when O2 closed loop works well :) Visited a race shop that one of my friend works at.

Re: Ignition but car dies after starter wire replacement

If you suspect the ignition is off, maybe try put the ECU in diagnostic mode and use a timing lamp?

PS500. Are you using injection pulse? I'm curious how it runs on yours.

Re: Restoring AE86 w/ 4AGE 16v + HKS ITB + Haltech E6X

I haven't checked the manual, but you want your ISCV to drive all the way open while the engine is cranking. Maybe there is a control for this ? Once the engine fires it should then close to whatever setting you have chosen for cold start. There isn't for the closed loop idle control, however in th...

I think I figured out the hunting. I think it's because I set the cold open position too high. I'll have to keep on adjusting it until it's just right. Today I took the car in for an alignment and while I was able to get a lower negative degree camber, the camber plate settings are still polar oppos...

That's an interesting tidbit. Always learning from you :) I've been playing more. Looks like I was wrong with my earlier statements. With the PWM period, and it seems like whether if it's 4ms or 20ms, it would work. I think the reason why it wouldn't work earlier was that I didn't restart the ECU (t...

ISCV update: Finally had time to work on the idle air control valve.

I then tested it with a 9V battery, putting + in the middle wire. Then tested each s...
