looks like i may have killed my megasquirt

by trying to fix a tps problem

i had the dam thing running and everything just had to get teh tps fixed.. i am so tired of working on things only to always have it go wrong

 

anyways to hot tired and depressed to try and fix it so screw it

Oh come on. You gotta go, I wanted to see your setup. I drove 5 hrs yesterday, so I could pick up a differential to put in my legacy to get it going before the show.

"If you hold it, they will come!"

 

Oddcomp, you should come anyways. I could still loan you a soob if you need one (just no rallyx or bashing it up, ok?).

 

I here that there will be beer...

ya see.. its that whole being able to get there problem...

well looks like the box is not dead anyways

still s.o.l about tps

What kind of TPS problem? I have a spare...

What about towing it...

 

Once you get it there you'd have all kinds of brain power to get it fixed

 

Get a rope!

tps problem as in ms thinks its wide open at closed throttle

and vice versa

found another tps not sure if it works or not waiting for the battery to charge incase thats part of my not staying running problem

 

and how do you propose i afford to tow it to wcss and back?

Yeah, push. Pull or drag.

 

Does MS use the TPS for anything other that transitional throttle enrichment? Should cruse fine, right?

...and how do you propose i afford to tow it to wcss and back?

Maybe the same way your wagon got from work to your house???

Reverse the connection at the TPS.

 

There are a couple of caravans driving past you. Hitch a ride with one of them.

i odn't mean this to sound smart assy but .. how do you propose i do that? stand on the freeway shoulder with a sign that sez wcss or bust?

 

tried reverse tps wires seems to do the same on the one tps

 

and pat.. thats a hell of a long ways to go just to drag my rx to the show..

 

i suspect my confusion has to do with being up for 28 or so hours yesterday 8 of wich at work and the rest arguing with the car

finally crashed at about 10 last night

i odn't mean this to sound smart assy but .. how do you propose i do that? stand on the freeway shoulder with a sign that sez wcss or bust?

 

Should be several people coming up from Portland, etc that could still be contacted. At least the convoys should be easy to spot.

 

and pat.. thats a hell of a long ways to go just to drag my rx to the show...

Its not an everyday event, and it would be a shame to miss it just because you couldn't quit futzing with your car right beforehand. (Like I am doing any better with my headless engine that is sitting outside on my engine stand for the last 4 days... )

 

Do I WANT to drive the extra distance to haul your sorry behind (w/car) back up to WCSS7: No.

 

Will I do it if that is what it takes?: In a heartbeat.

 

BTW, which I-5 Exit-# are you near? I can't remember the number, but it isn't that far south of Exit 100-101 for Shelton.

well i got money to pay for gas

i can't seem to keep it running now.. so i am cornfused

ok link works i hope

 

of my motor

it figures.. go outside to plug the tablet in to the ms to see if maybe the settings got corrupted from the tps being messed up

and the ppower plug breaks off the side of the case

chasing down what seems to be a lack of fuel problem now :<

I'm off to work in a few minutes; will check in again between 3-8am. Happy bug hunting!

well i just went on a nice cruise no hood scoop but i iced downt he intercooler with dry ice.. works well hehehe

apc is not hooked up so only seeing 5 psi actualy less now that i think about the wastegate line being connected before the intercooelr

 

it pulls nicely

scared a few mexicans with the ssqv

gonna put my wagon tires on it either tonight or in the morning not sure of the scoop

 

damm i am soo tired all day in the sun fighting with it

 

oh and i popped that pesky line thats under the intake.. thankfullly it the xt intake

man that engine looks SWEET! how did u fix your tps issues?

i found a good tps in my pile o stuff

gonna take a shower and head out and see if it wants to carry me to wcss

Oddcomp made it to the Show... running around trying to scare everybody with his unmuffled BOV(s)... the smaller one sounds like "nails on chalkboard" when it vents!
