Re: Looking for a GTV6

Well, that was quick, bought one this past Friday and it was local too! Need to get some plates for it on Monday so I can drive it home.

Looking for a GTV6

Hi,

Just sold my Spider and am looking for a GTV6 now to go with my Verde. Would like one with no rust issues, can have some mechanical problems but would prefer nice paint and not dinged up. I can be reached at kredden at alfamilano dot com.

Thanks!

Re: MS-II build underway...questions

Well, I'm finally back at this after over two years! Wow, has it really been that long? I've now finally got the 3.0L I built up in the car and broken in (S-Pistons, GAR Fast Road V6 cams (more aggressive than S-Cams), and some CSC headers that I haven't installed yet). Dusted off the MS and hooked ...

Swapped the TPS for a spare and it works now, weird! Good thing I thought to pick up two at the junkyard...

Peter, This is a street car. There are really only two non LJet harness wires. The first is the tach signal which I'm taking from the Hall sensor instead of the coil, is there a way to wire this so that it just uses the stock harness? The second is the ground wire out to the new fuel pump relay, I d...

Yeah, that's what I thought. I just came across the reference to keeping it on somewhere while re-reading a lot of the posts. Couldn't understand why it would still be needed. Didn't make too much progress today, all I got done was to punch a couple holes through the firewall and get the vacuum hose...

TPS not registering when car running, WTH?

In the tuning phase with my MS-II now and have an odd one. When the ignition is on run but the car is not running (i.e. power going to MS but engine not running) my Volvo 850 TPS reads fine in MegaTune, when I step on the throttle the TPS % rises as expected and drops when I let off. So far so good....

Hey, another question on something I remember reading in one of your other threads...are you still using the cold start injector? I thought I saw a mention that you were somewhere, if so how come?

Thanks,

Thanks Murray, I had it set to PWM Warmup for some reason, I'll change it to Solenoid. I hear you on the weather, my family is from Kingston and NH has pretty much the same extremes!

I'm sitting here running through all my MegaTune settings right now. For the Idle Control you are using "Solenoid" for the algorithm correct? I can't find that one documented anywhere. I did see one post where you had problems finding it but eventually seemed to find it, what does that alg...

Thanks. In looking through the logged session I did I noticed an "Ethanol%" column. Should I be setting this somewhere as our local gas is all 10% ethanol here.

I forgot, I was going to include the log file of my session that shows the RPMs going up and down.

I got it idling throughout the full warmup period, didn't really have to do much. I do have a problem where the RPM's are cycling rhythmically between around 630 and 965 or so and I'm not sure how to get rid of that. I've had that before on the stock L-Jet when the TPS wasn't adjusted correctly. I'm...

Thanks. I did realize after I thought about it for a while that I had forgotten to disconnect the cold start injector so I might be getting a little too much fuel. I'll disconnect that and give it a quick try before I head off to work. A question on the req_fuel, in MegaTune the rq fuel calculator a...

It runs!!! Jury rigged the wiring for the Tach off the hall sensor by jamming a couple wires into the back of the plug, and the wires and vacuum hose that need to run through the firewall are coming out the hood and going in thru the window for now. It started right up and idled good for a second an...
