Team3S: Ignorance
Hey guys;I know you are busy with your own problems but
I would
appreciate it if you could take just a little bit of time to steer me
in
the right direction with mine.On the way to work my TT Stealth
just
quit.I could smell "electrical"smoke.Had it towed to Mitsu and tech
said
"ecu fried".Pulled ecu sure enough hole thru all layers of board
and
alot of smoke damage.Purchased rebuilt ecu and installed.Car still
not
running correct.Mitsu tech says coil pack damaged.Replaced with oem
coil
pack.Now why can I run the engine up to redline sitting in the
driveway
with no problem at all,but under load on the road when I hit
4500-5000
rpm it just craps out.There seems to be a slight difference between
just
nailing it and slowly advancing the throttle.If I go easy I get a
couple
of hundered more rpms out of it before it gives up,but it sure
dosen't
run like it used to.
Could something else have been affected when
the ecu shorted out?.Thank
you for your help in this matter!

Re: Ignorance, Car Won't Run High RPM Right
The other things
electrical could include the "ignitor", located UNDER and
separate from the
coilpack...it could have recieved some nasty
voltage/amperage when the ECU
melted down and who knows what volts/amps got
shunted where when that was
happening; and the Mass Air Sensor, the thing
just after the airfilter that
measures the air volume. I would have thought
the MAS would be affected
all the time not just at high R's but who knows.
Make sure the dealer is
involved, because you have a right to a properly
fixed car not a half fixed
one that runs like a Camry but not at high rpm/hp
like a Stealth TT
should. Also make sure you get and KEEP the OLD parts
they remove, like
your old coilpack (doubt that was damaged but who knows).
Good Luck,
Jack

Team3S: Motor Swap
Spun a rod bearing on my 91 VR4, decided to buy a used
engine. Found a
front clip off a 94 vr4 for a great price, do i need to
change out the ecu
or any other hoses/wires/connectors...?

Idle problems
Recently my 93 rt/tt has begun surging at idle. The idle
jumps to about
2000 rpm after the engine is warm and surges between
1800-2200 at every
stop light. I know this is a problem I've read about on
the list before
but I can't find anything in the archives. Any suggestions
on the
problem and how to fix
it?

Rear quarter pannel
Does anyone know where I can find a factory or
aftermarket rear quarter pannel
for a '92 stealth that would be cheaper than
a dealership? I could get one
from a junk yard but I was told a factory
replacement pannel is easier to weld
on and less cost for labor. I
might be interested in a used one though (if
someone has one for sale) if I
can't find a factory replacement at a
reasonable cost.
Thanks,
Gary

Oops..maybe people don't loan tools ;-)
Sorry folks,
I realized
belatedly that some people don't loan tools...especially over
long distances.
I apologize for the message.
I have decided to check with Miller tools.
To
the only respondent to my post.. Thanks Jim Floyd. I did know the
normal
replacement schedule is every 60K miles but the previous owner wasn't
real
big on maintenance. Luckily I got the car at 80K
miles.
Regards,
Keith (diseased old fart)
aka
biohazard.

RE: Team3S: Idle problems
Look for a huge vacuum leak on the intake side.
Look for hoses, possibly the y-pipe gasket to the intake. Some use a
homemade kit to pressurize the intake side. Fix the leak and then
disconnect the battery for a while and reconnect so the ecu can relearn the fuel
map. You may have to drive it around for awhile for it to relearn.
