Thread: D1 V8 fault reader or connection

Don't think the fitment should be an issue.
Best thing would be to send them an email and just ask rather than deliberate and procrastinate over what may and may not happen.

yhea true mate...and have done so

cheers

If it is a D1 it should have 14 CUX.

BTW I did a tutorial on the connections necessary in the ECU plug .

The existing plug wired to the ECU is a for a dealer scanner and not for the reader. This applies to a 92 RRC but who knows on a 98 D1.

Coincidentally I was checking my ECU with my US reader yesterday and had a 17 on mine which is TPS, as I was playing around with mine some time ago to set the volts at optimum 0.33 or whatever so it must have happened then. I must have had the TPS out with the ign on.

I couldn't get rid of the error until I realised last night that I probably had several instances, as I had it out again yeaterday.

Because mine is a Thor manifold jury rigged with a 14CUX TPS, I was not getting 4.2 volts at WOT so I adjusted the TPS up in volts until I got as near as possible which is 4.1 or somesuch. I had to grind the slots .

Then on a test drive I had over .054 Volts at idle because the idle cut off on overrun was not working, so had to knock it down a little,even though I checked with 2 multimeters which read almost the same at something like 0.52 volts.
It had 4.89 volts from the feed according to my 2 multimeters so maybe they were both wrong.

It seems that the ECU may not read the volts exactly the same as a multimeter.

It certainly SEEMS to go better now with quite a bit higher voltage through the range but it may just be placebo, particularly since I also adjusted the accelerator cable.
