Re: Project Talon - Screaming Eagle

So Monday my car ran like crap, threw a CEL and basically flooded out. On the AFC it showed the TPS at 100% (over 5.xx volts) at idle/start up and would not move below that, and it would not run like that.

Tore open the center console and found poor shielding around the TPS sensor wire near the ECU harness and a power wire patched in near by. I cleaned up the wires and added some shielding. Reset ECU and re-calibrated the AFC throttle sensor setting. Everything test ok now.

I hope the sensor does not have an issue beyond what I found with the wires. Of course now that it is reading correct now it tests fine.

At WOT it actually ran lean now. Before that it was always pulling rich and would randomly crap out when over 3000 RPM;s and throw a CEL and foul out plugs.

Now I backed off some correction on the AFC and things seems to be on track and feels great again!

During the tear open phase with my co-pilot.


After closed up and cleaning up the hair and mud from th dog.
