84 fieor-- 94 N* swap (Page 15/24) mcfrandon FEB 25, 12:16 AM what are you using? the shelby computer you mentioned? I have been driving this thing for a few days now. pretty sure i forgot to mention that. Having tons of fun and just working on the little things. Got the ebrake to work again, headlights, hvac, but im still working on the wipers. they seem to blow a fuse every time i try them. None of these things were working when i got it so it's came a long way. I need to get an exhaust on it, just waiting till i get back from vacation. doesn't seem to be a lot of room with the factory northstar manifold/crossover IXSLR8 FEB 26, 12:11 AM That must be loud without the exhaust. I'd get pulled over here in Oregon for that. Oregon is getting a lot tougher in the Portland metro area. What clutch and flywheel did you end up using? mcfrandon FEB 26, 10:08 AM yeah I had a cop behind me for a block or 2 at 10pm and he didn't seem to mind. then again it just looks like a pos right now. Sounds good tho anyways. Nice low rumble at idle and smoothes out real nice after a couple thousand rpms. That reminds me last time i was in portland I passed a pretty cool fiero, it was 2 colors i think like an orange and green or something. 2 bright colors. I went with the spec flywheel and stage 2 plus clutch or maybe stage 3 plus. can't remember right now. Either way looking at those clutches it seems the "plus" versions are the way to go. IXSLR8 FEB 26, 11:03 PM By the way, could you summarize how you finalized your OBD1 Computer regarding: VATS, VSS, ABS and what you did for the automatic tranny outputs? mcfrandon FEB 27, 12:51 AM Well thats still in progress kinda. I think its running in full power mode, im sure i would notice if it wasnt. VATS: used ebay 50hz circuit VSS: I just t'd into it, works find and don't have to mess with the speedo ABS: nothing done... yet? not sure thats an issue or not Auto tranny: no wires hooked up except the park/neutral wire which doesn't seem to effect anything if its unplugged or not.. revs 6k either way. Tach: used potentiometer and did not cut any wires or traces. Im having trouble with the ISCV motor clicking. I have taken it apart and lubricated it and tried to set the gap and such but it doesn't set properly or atleast the way I want. If I set it up so it will stop clicking (adjusted out, throttle plate more open), it won't drop rpm right away on clutch in or when shifting. If i screw the adjustment bolt all the way in so it is as short as possible, it will run exactly the way it should, but will click when the key is turned on or off. So this could be one of the auto tranny issues, but i really dont think so. I think I might have a bad throttle position sensor and it just isn't reading correctly, but i dont know if the ISC motor and the TP sensor communicate but it almost seems like they would have to. Or i guess i could have a bad ISCM. I have one of each lying around so I will try both when I get back from cali and check the wiring. IXSLR8 FEB 27, 12:59 AM Thanks for your kind reply, eh. mcfrandon FEB 27, 01:33 AM Im probably going to send the PCM to Wester's Garage unless I can figure something out. Howell won't get back to me. Westers said they could delete all the CEL codes except the engine related ones and basically make it run as a standalone. I just wish there was some way I could read the CEL without having the caddy information center. Or build a CEL reader by using one from pick n pull or something. What I read is that this pcm has 2 separate processors, one for engine and one for transmission. Unlike the obd2 which is built together as one. They probably check each other but it doesn't seem like they rely on each other to run properly. IXSLR8 FEB 28, 12:21 AM I have a Howell chip in my OBD1 computer for my next N* swap. I just sent my chip assembly in and they sent it back with a new reprogrammed one. They were fast. Did you talk to them on the phone or send an e-mail? E-mails were slow. Phone is fast. Tell them you are sending them your chip. Then mail it with instructions regarding what your configuration is. Wester's can do it but its $45 a crack everytime you ship a computer over the border. mcfrandon MAR 07, 08:03 PM I was emailing them. He was saying the one I have would be very difficult to modify, and never got back to me.. mcfrandon MAR 08, 03:45 PM I picked up a 94 seville instrument cluster the other day. hoping I can wire it to display codes. maybe its far fetched maybe not. I need to find a wiring diagram first, kinda excited
