also posted in general discussion, but nothing yet. so i post it here for the experts among us.

While fooling around with my electric aerial over the weekend, or should i say "that area of the car" I noticed something strange.

there's a metal resistor-like ceramic and metal doohickey attached to inside the rear quart panel next to the electric aerial, I had to remove/disconnect it to get the aerial out and stuff....put the aerial back in, and still didn't find WHY the hell it wont go more than halfway up.. grrr! anyway

Jump back in the car, go to drive off, and the airbag light is now on!!!....I don't think i bumped anything down there but still...

Back to the metal resistor/doohickey -- When I pull this out/disconnect it the car wont idle for more than a minute.

I start the car, everything is fine.. then 30secs later is stops.. cuts out completely. nothing. starts fine again, 30secs later the same thing.

Maybe it's unrelated, but now my airbag light is on. I've tried an ECU reset, but cant think of anything else to try eh...

HELP!

Kym

Don't want to be rude, but your a dickhead.

It sounds like you've f#cked up royally. First you have disturbed one of the airbag sensors, and secondly it sounds like you've managed to disconnect the power to you fuel pump. This means that there is insufficent pressure to keep the car going.

Let me know what help you need, and I'll try and talk you through it.

See'ya:burnout:

Strich9ine,

By your left knee (usually where the turbo timers are located) there is a switch which you can adjust the height of the aerial... I too had that problem and also wondered what the switch did... The switch also has a picture of a transmitter tower on it...

Dude, the car's fine hey. hence I'm at work right now..

Define "disturbed" an airbag sensor... bumped it? knocked it? I thought airbag sensors are only at the front of the car? (havent been up there)

as for power to the fuel pump...dun think so, i still hear the fuel pump crankin' it's all okay now as I didnt remove this resistor thing. and the car STARTS without it, just wont keep going.

thus, the reason it's back in :D

I just wanna know what the hell that thing is and what it does!

Oh yeh, and to work out what airbag sensor i have "disturbed" and how to fix it...

Hey metblue....

Nah, that switch doesn't do that on mine, it's been disconnected and re-used for other mods. The aerial is controlled by the radio on/off remote wire, and fully extends normally.

Just intermittantly extending all the way :D

grrr!

Most airbag sensors are accelerometers, but they need to be mounted perfectly correct to give a proper signal, so maybe yours is now at an angle.

With the fuel pump thing, yes it has power, but it doesn't know how much to pump, the resistor acts like a shunt so the pump is controlled by a small current signal. Anyway, leave that in, don't mess with it.

lol toolage

bahahahahhahaa

mehehe

ahhh.

almost makes me feel better bout my faruked up stereo

almost

Psiker

(i know nothing... nothing) <----- kEn stYleZ

P.S doesnt ur airbag go off no matter where ue been hit. hence there being sensors at the rear of the car. so thjat thing may have been a sensor and u took it off.... = disturbed. but then i prolly am wrong

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
