Team3S: Computer Problem on '91 Stealth
I have
replaced the ignition computer behind the console twice now and am
waiting
on the third unit to come in. I have heard there may be a module or
component associated with the distributor that can actually knock out the
computer itself, and that is what I may need to replace. Can anyone
give me
any details? (I am completely disconnecting the battery before
replacing
computer.)
I have a '91 ES version with
DOHC, approx. 75,000 miles.
Thanks,

RE: Team3S: Computer Problem on '91 Stealth
The most common is the ISC or
IAC. Both the same thing. It's a brown
colored plug behind the
throttle body (Attached to it though). I think
the motor wears out and
dead shorts the connection. Your car will run
without the ISC plugged
in, so try that, and hopefully someone else has
some thoughts on
this.

are 275 mm tires ok on stealth r/t 92?
hello:
currently i have
falken ziex 502 P275/40/17 tires on the front and 255/40/17
tires on the
rear mounted on mustang cobra wheels on my stealth r/t 92. i
bought the car
this way except the smaller (255 mm) tires were on the front.
i had them
switched later.
now i'm thinking of changing 255 mm tires (worn out) to
275 mm ones of the
same brand (falken ziex 502). i never felt any
interference from the tires.
does anybody know anything why it may be a
bad idea to have the above
mentioned tires (275 mm) on a stealth r/t 92?
(aside from the hydroplaning
issue that i'm painfully aware of)
thank
you very much.

1) If you already know
they are a hazzard..why?
2) 275 tire, hope its a 9" wheel or wider.

No dash lights. Plenty of brake

Subject: RE:

I would unplug the ABS fuse under the hood and
see if the same hardness
application locks up the tires. This would
indicate that it is not the
ABS that is messed up but the brake bias or how
hard the brakes are
getting squeezed when you press the pedal.
If the
tires do not lock up then it is the ABS that is faulty. Is
this
correct?
Remember that there are sensors on the wheels and the
ABS might not be
sensing wheel movement and trying to apply 100% braking all
at once.
I know Jim Berry does his open track events without the ABS
fuse. Maybe
he can give some insight.
Let us know and be safe
when braking.

question
HI Jim, I have a question and maybe you can
help.
Well I got the Getrag 6 speed back together with little
trouble. I am having an issue with the
shift linkage on the
tranny. It seems I forgot where two parts go.
On the side of the
tranny where the shift shaft goes into it. There are tow detent spring
loaded
ball bearings that go in on the side to assist shifter
alignment. One screws in flat and the other
is this three inch cap bolt
that stick out after it is screwed in. I cannot find a picture to
refer
to. I went to the dealer and can't et a look see.
Is it
posible that you could look at your VR4 from underneath or on top down on
the side of the
tranny by the starter and tell me if the three inch cap
sticking out goes in the hole close to the
upper side by the shifter top or
the lower hole closer to the bottom of the trans.
both parts fit
interchangeable iot appears and I am not sure which hole is for what.
Any
help is appreciated.
Thanks

Subject: Re: Team3S:
FW: shift linkage
If he's referring to the cover plate over the shift
fork detents then both bolts should be
about the same length --- 20mm or so
in length. The cover plate holds in the two
springs and steel balls that
form the detent for the shafts on the shift forks. I have no
idea why there
would be a 3" bolt if that's the area he's talking
about.

Team3S:Computer Problem on '91 Stealth
"...replaced the ignition
computer...twice now and am waiting on the third
unit to come
in."
Like you, I replaced the ECU without any significant effect. I
remembered
reading somewhere in the Archives about new batteries with low
initial
voltage affecting the ECU. I had been cranking my engine for
sometime and
decided to put the battery on the charger. After the battery
was fully
charged, the engine initially did not run smoothly, but at least
it started.
I held constant 2000 RPM for about 20 minutes and the engine
continued to
smooth out.
Might give it a try.
Regards,
Fred

Team3S: ABS Coming On!!
Robert,
Thanks for your input. I
bought a new 60 AMP ABS fuse and it blew
instantly and the ABS dash light
stayed on. Driving without the fuse
installed, the brakes seemed to
work just fine. I reinstalled the old
fuse, the dash light went out and
the braking problem (ABS coming on
with moderate braking pressure)
resumed.
I"m taking the car back to the mechanic that changed the clutch,
but he
shared this very interesting bit of info with me. He
said that he was
unable to remove the shafts. They were 'frozen'.
So he dissassembled
some other part of the suspension in order to get the
tranny out and
change the clutch. He did say that he used some
lubricant in his effort
to get the half shafts out, but ultimately he
couldn't get them to
come. Maybe the lubricant he used has caused a
problem.
I really don't know why the new fuse would blow. And I
guess I really
can't understand why replacing a good fuse would have any
effect on this
problem.
Thanks for your input.

I can give you a real good start with this.....I hade the same
problem.
DO NOT GO TO A DEALER!!!!!!
You have two fuses that have
to do with the ABS. spend 20.00 and just
replace them both. One of the fuses
has bolts holding down, this one os
hard
to come out if you use pliers to
pull it..trust me I pulled it out with
pliers only to find a socket fits very
easily under it to unbolt it. I
believe its called the fuseable link?
Regardless it has ABS on it. This
fixed my problem almost instantly even
though an ohm meter said
otherwise.
I took mine to the dealer and they
told me my float was stuck in the
master
cylinder...they told me I needed
to replace ther whole assembly for
500.00
you can buy just the tank with
float for about 25.00 at the parts
counter.
You might also hit your ABS
sensors with a blast of air from a
compressor.
Brake dust can make them
work funny which might cause your problem as
well.
Thats all under
50.00.......I would do that
