Couple of Concerns

Hi Tim;
Sounds like the clutch is marginal. You
will get a little clutch smell if
you are running it aggressively, but if
it's showing up under normal
conditions, then it's time to replace it. Often
in this situation, it is
also best to replace the flywheel for an additional
$100, as many have
lamented not doing this later when told at the time it
appeared with specs.
It cannot be resurfaced.
What do you mean a
"gassy" smell? As in petroleum? As in passed gas? What?
If
it's foul smell it may be related to the cats and not really a worry.
If
petroleum, it may be injector related. Run a quality Injector
Cleaner
through it (gas tank additive). Many do not ever add this to their
fillups,
and in the long run this will simply mean having to have the
injectors
professionally done as they plug up.
Best
Darc

To specify what Trevor meant there is no
display of knock sum and I wonder why ??? The timing will be retarded when there
is knock and therefore it may be visible for an experienced user ! An amount of
how much the timign is retarded in degrees may be wishful but not
common.
Hope this is THE tuning tool for the 2nd geners
!

Team3S: Found 91 Stealth TT for $7888
***This is the NEW Team3S list. See
message end for more info.***
I was driving home from lunch with my
ROWG buddies today, and spotted a 91
Stealth TT at Jim Miller Nissan Subaru
in Cedar Rapids, Iowa..
It's black, tan interior, has 102,000 miles, new
tires, and appears to be
in pretty good shape. The usual nicks and wear, of
course, that you would
expect in a nine-year old car. It's not a concours
show winner by any
means, but it's not trashed either. Just nine years
old. No signs of
performance mods -- it even has the original air
cleaner. Price is $7888.
If interested, call the salesman, Nathan Johnson
at 319/393-0640
Rich/old poop/94 VR4/make a nice start on a racer,
eh?

Team3S: car won't start
***This is the NEW Team3S list. See message end

This may seem like a strange problem but after i
installed my profec A
last sat and started running on higher boost (1 bar
max), my car would
not start 2 days ago (tue). it won't even crank, and its
NOT a battery
problem. anyway, i figured that it was probably a starter
problem and
got it down to the mechanic who changed the starter. The car
worked okay
for a while yesterday, but this morning, i met with exactly the
same
problem again. Well, could be that the starter the mechanic put it
was
faulty, or some other problem ??? any experience/advice on this would
be
much appreciated..

We had this discussion last week, because my
car had a similar problem.
Everyone told me that it is the ignition switch.
Try clicking it to 'start'
several times, and see if it catches. I wish I
knew this after replacing the
starter 3 times!

Yeah, I noticed that it had current spark
advance. They might have knock retard already figured into that measurement. I
wouldn't think that would be the best way to do it. Personally I don't want to
guess at my knock amount, I want hard numbers. I've got a scan tool for
the
Typhoon and it's a god send. Do you have one for the Z-28 yet Roger ;-)It
has a measurement for both spark advance and knock retard.
I didn't see
anything on there about 95's but it would be worth it to buy it and give it a
try. You could sell it to someone with a 96+ for like $90 if it didn't work. I
played around with that program for awhile and if it works as advertised it will
fit my needs perfectly (as
long as knock gets added). It has all the other
stuff that might be needed like:
Mass Air Flow rates
Inlet Air
Temp
Spark Advance
RPM
MPH
O2 Readings (both upper and lower
sensors)
Coolant Temp
Throttle Position Sensor

well actually when

So rather than spending $165 each I decided to put screens in

Well, he wrote back and said this:
The scan
tool does support ignition timing advance and retard.
this is data item $0E
spark advance.
I guess he means that the spark advance that's listed is
total timing. I.E. Base Advance minus Knock Retard. I wrote him back and asked
if he could separate the two numbers. It's also possible that OBDII supplies
only that one total spark advance data stream...More to
follow...
