    Looks like something Carroll Shelby would have had the boys do on a Cobra at Sebring . . .

    +1 on the AMA. Their Road Service is second to none. I've seen it in the field over the years helping friends out of tight spots. The clincher: for the cost of membership, the Road Service covers my bikes, my passenger cars, and my son's car while he's away at college. Last month's magazine had a delightful article about riding through New Zealand - made me think of dd ("dangerous") and long for a journey . . . On top of the political action: Awesome!

    And don't miss the Black Sport just listed by blacklist in classifieds: http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=19149&do=findComment&comment=205774

    That cylinder has no compression?

    How novel . . . wait . . . all the parties round these parts are redneck themed . . .

    I looked, but could not find it. Link?

    And looks right racy! Does the cap unscrew and you have to set it down somewhere while fueling?

    That certainly confirms that the TPS cannot be set at baseline through the ECU, but requires voltage measurement at the TPS itself. Thanks, again, Camn!

    Wait: "363 of 650?" Rosso Mandello were numbered through 300 and another 300 built but not numbered . . . Scura were numbered?

    Sounds the start of a therapy group.

    Casper TPS harness came really quickly. I tucked the yellow wire in and added shielded bullet connectors to easily clip on a DVOM, red for positive (nero/viola or purple/black wire) and black for negative (viola or purple wire). Pictured next to my "backprobing instruments" Looking forward to comparing voltages at the TPS to that seen in the ECU through guzzidiag.

    It is member Belfastguzzi that detailed the best threads on this pawl spring business. Search his posts with the advanced searching . . . . the pictures in the thread have likely expired, but the content is superb.

    How so very interesting. Is there any "table" of factory map codes? I have the "original" V11 map that Meinolf references (3D02VS9F). I'll be more observant when I scan my "guest" Rosso Corsa of 2003.

    I love my Tekno panniers! The pannier mounts are susceptible to fatigue and cracking. This is the worst place I've seen come from together: http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=16190&p=174290

    Sounds good, David. Those inboard facing threads will be much happier with a full coat of anti-seize thread lubricant; especially since they're stainless . . . These pannier mounts have been known to cause cracks at various points in the mounting brackets and tabs, so look them all over really well.

    Seven (+) weeks out and it's time to consider this year's Tech Session. Sometimes, these present themselves un-asked-for. As in, "What to Do with A Crossover Pipe F.O.R.D" or "Relay 101." Others have been by *design* : "How To Put a Case of Ale in the Tekno Panniers" or "How Far Off Center is Your Swingarm?" So, what-next-most? Will guzzidiag run on a SmartPhone?

    Thank you, Camn, I feel better about getting the TPS breakout harness to set the TPS baseline.

    If the valve adjustment "loosened" the valve would not reach further into the cylinder, but simply would not open. 5 mm into the cylinder, (I would think) would put the valve into the piston (very bad). It really sounds like the adjusting lock nut came loose (noisy, but no real damage). Just a valve adjustment - no engine tear down.

    I remember Mienolf saying that a voltage drop will affect guzzidiag (I paraphrase deeply . . .) It occurs to me to suggest the (simple) "Wiggle Test" - get the engine temp reading live and begin to "wiggle", and stress, and shove about on various points in the harness and connections looking for a place that changes the reading.
  22. docc
    Since (I understand) you changed the sensor already, there must be some connection issue that is not allowing the ECU (and guzzidiag) to see the correct engine temperature. The technical interpretation of "stone cold?" The engine temperature sensor and air temperature sensor read the same. Otherwise, YSMV (Your Stone Might Vary) Meinolf's first post regarding temperatures (Post# 138): http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=17865&p=204809 And Post# 142: http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=17865&p=205220 I'll be having a close look since I am (finally!) using guzzidiag and have had extensive experience with the Engine Temperature Sensor.
  23. docc
    Jim, Do you have a link to Meinolf's post about the temperature sensor?
  24. docc
    After ordering this TPS breakout harness, I realized that guzzidiag will read both the throttle angle and the throttle voltage. So, I expect that the 150mV TPS baseline can be set using the software . . . Incidentally, I am using the referenced ECS FTDI OBD cable. It took a long time to arrive and it has no LED power indicator, but it is working.
  25. docc
    Jim, is the engine temp only different at operating temperature, or do you see a difference in the cold reading as well? FWIW, mine reads the same running and not on start up (not at operating temp). [ ~24˚C ]
