What?

C'mon Scotty, you're only guessing that is the cause :no: . Pretty sure Ryan proved otherwise by disconnecting/reconnecting cruise control. Appears to only be an issue with (some) people running F-Con & given all the wiring changes involved with F-Con installation......

No one else with cruise control has reported TPS codes & most have had it working for over 12 months (mine over 18 months). Probably a combined error free distance of over 150,000km.

Unfortunately I have had no errors since unplugging the cruise, I would say too many things hanging off the pedal output wires will cause it to fault.

Maybe the cruise was the straw that broke the camels' back, so to speak :)

I still want to try a new pedal sensor, but at $300-$400 for a varistor I will just unplug the cruise for now. Sadly, I don't think the fcon even uses the pedal sensor as an input now I think about it. It could be a bad connection in the cruise wiring too I guess. I really want to fix it as the cruise function is great...

Limp mode is a pain, I am scared it will happen with the family in the car while trying to scoot across an intersection. It faulted 8 times on one trip just dropping the kids at school last week. Goddamn electronic throttles.

Has anyone had a fault code P1320 ignition signal come up before on there M35?. Am I due for new coil packs? Or is it to do with plugs. Any ideas would be great.

It is indicating a fault with the ignition circuit, probably best if you start a new thread on it so others can find this same info.

It is letting you know there is a slight resistance change somewhere inside a coil primary or ignition harness. Have you been poking around with the coils recently, or changing plugs? If not it sounds like you will be soon. :P

Mine threw this code when I had the Emanage Ultimate wired in.

Thanks Scotty. I haven't opened the bonnet for 4 weeks. My wife rang and said the engine light wont go off. Looks like a fun job to change coil packs. The code has cleared for now. Hope I dont see it back too soon.

On the subject of coil packs...

I changed my cam cover gaskets on Friday because they were both leaking & at the same time took the opportunity to change the spark plugs.

I dont think they'd been changed in quite a few years - both electrodes were worn away pretty badly - so badly infact that the gap was close to 3mm!

Demonstrates how strong the spark is from the coilpacks if it could keep the car running fine regardless.

Although I must say there's now a very noticable difference in engine response now that the new 1.1mm plugs are in. :O

* And christ, what an ars$ehole of a job that passenger cam cover is to get back on without the rear part of the gasket falling back out - that aircon line can f**k right off.

I need to do my plugs to but have been putting it off.

Also it was me who messaged you. Not some random lunatic... well maybe

NGK Iridium LFR7AIX. I get them from ebay mate. Or you could get them from Harold (Performancelub). Still perfect after 20,000 k's on my car.

Don't get the IKH22's, a few sets I have noticed the threads galling in the head, probably due to them being stainless, and the tip melts within 20,000 (on a stock Stagea). Perhaps the IKH24's might be better, with some anti-seize paste? Or just run the NGK's like me. :)

Just telling it how it is mate. Not telling you to change, just letting everyone know my experiences, it's not like there is a price difference. Perhaps you drive like a pussy compared to Jase? :P

lol.

That said, I put the Denso's in because I had them already. Next set of plugs will be neither NGK nor Denso. There are more interesting designs out there that I want to try :)

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
