Anna are you a binge drinker?? :)

Why you bored other anna?

I am a binge drinker. no drink-no drink-no drink-no drink-no drink-no drink-SLAUGHTERED!!!

And I am bored because there is nothing interesting going on here at home :( And I am faced with a predicament. In my heart I know what I need to do... I've just got to go and do it.

I need peeps opinions on stuff...

You have always wanted to do something but never had the balls to do it. So you finaly quit work to study full time. Now you are having issues finding a job that will hire you over some 17 year old that they can pay minimum wage. So studying has turned you more emo. You have been presented with 2 options.

Option A: You are enrolled in a course that will give you 1/4 worth of what you need to do what you want in the future. The rest of the time you are enrolled in 'fluff' classes. Classes that teach you how to pick vital points in an argument, and classes that teach you why apes can't speak english. You are thoroughly enjoying the 1/4 of actual relevant learning you're doing, but are stressed about having no money to pay bills/loans/rent. You have also since discovered that you will need to add another 2 years onto the end of your degree, as the course is designed for school leavers that have prior knowledge of the subject. You know you will get a certificate at the end of it that says you stuck it out for 5 years, but you may just very well go insane in the meantime...

Option B: You have found a private school that offers night time classes that will allow you to work full time. This course has none of the 'fluff' that the university one does, and is specific to what you actually wanted in the first place. You will not end up with a piece of paper that says you went to university, but you will be finished within 2 years.

Which option do you take?

ur gonna hate this answer..BUT ur best to get that little peice of paper, caus in the end, someone with that peice of paper will get paid more than u if u dont have that piece of paper, or get hired before you, as on paper they are qualified, and ur not.

Interesting... that's what I had thought too. It's just kind of driving me insane. I know i'm going to fail classes because I hate them, and I don't want to waste more money than I already have. Also i'm going to be so far into debt by the time i'm done I don't know what i'm going to do.

i know what u mean, im sorta the same with this engineerng course i've been doing for the past 2 years. theres subjects in there that are totally useless, but in the end u need them to get that piece of paper.

ur only young, u've got the rest of ur working life to pay them off.

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
