Were you familiar with the grill that was on Iain's car?

That is a damn good looking grill IMO and can be found on Yahoo.

yeh forgot about that, but I was always a fan of open grills, and the nismo option was ironically the more expensive option

i have a quick question.

the engine light is on the dash and i have no idea why, who would be the best person tos peak to ? the local auto electricion ? or is there something i can do to find out why its there by myself ?

cheers

1. Ignition to "ON", wait 3 secs

2. Depress/Release pedal 5 times within 5 secs

3. Wait 7 secs and press accelerator pedal to the floor

4. Wait until CEL flashes then release pedal.

5. Count flashes to retrieve the CEL codes (10 flashes is a zero value and codes are in groups of 4 values)

Sounds like a sensor has gone over 5 volts at some stage- just reset and see if it comes back before trying to find out what sensor

google copy paste

OBD Code P0651refers to

These 5-volt reference circuits are independent of each other outside the PCM, but are bussed together inside the Engine Control Module (ECM). Therefore a circuit condition on one sensor 5-volt reference circuit may affect the other sensor 5-volt reference circuits. The ECM monitors the voltage on the 5-volt reference circuit.

Causes

Possible causes of OBD code P0651

- Shorted sensor - Shorted sensor circuit - Failed ECM The Error code is generally activated on detection of the following conditions: The ECM has detected an out of voltage range on the 5 volt reference circuit 2

Threads shouldn't be deleted just because you're trying to sell the car without mentioning its a RWO in the sale description.

Lol, nicely played Dunc.

Honesty is the best policy.

Ask Edward Lee. :whistling:

Perhaps sale thread should be linked to this thread to demonstrate the hard work required to achieve a successful repair?

    • Consider a 35 too...
    • He's right ~ there is no 'magic' with stuff like this ... it is more likely that in the process of looking for the short, the loom/wire 'incidentally' got moved in the process, thus removing the short ~ now, that maybe a wire (in a loom) rubbing against the edge of some grounded metal, that's worn through the insulation, causing the (now intermittent) short to ground. If one wire in a loom has been damaged in this fashion, it's reasonable to presume that other wires beside it may have also be damaged, and now exposed...you can bet the green crusty copper corrosion will start... ...that'd be a pisser, Murphy's Law steps right in as GTS observes...but worse, something like that is easier to find when shorted...ie; unplug bulb and fuse, and put multimeter in continuity mode so you get constant beep, and carefully poke about hoping to find if some movemet of the harness stop the beeping.... ...it's still all a bit Arnie tho' ..It'll be back... 馃槂
    • Yeah, but knowledge of one wire's insulation worn through to short on earth implies the possibility of other wires doing the same. I had my power steering die, because the wire that runs to the solenoid valve on the rack runs in the same loom as the power wire for the O2 sensor. And when the O2 sensor/wire did something stupid and burnt part of that loom to death, the only indication was the shit(ter) fuel economy and the heavy steering. It took deep excavation of the looms in the bay to find the problem. Not wear through in that case, but similar shit.
    • Ah, I thought he'd wired it to one of the spare ECU inputs! Too long ago since I read that post, ha ha. I've been arguing with radiators, harmonic balancers, alternators and rust since reading it.
    • Correct. The ECU cannot read oil temp. (Well, I think it probably can in some situations. I did have the thought of potentially repinning the ECU when I was doing oil pressure). I am using this into the MPVI dongle, so that the MPVI dongle can read oil temperature. It is attached to a VDO gauge which is obviously calibrated to whatever curve the sender actually is using. This would be easy if I could setup a table of voltage to temperature like many sensors, but it appears I cannot do this and can only setup the transform rule which appears to be Input (voltage) x Multiplier, and add an offset. This to me means it MUST be linear. So it may be a complete waste of time wiring this into the ECU. The idea was that the MPVI3 has standalone logging. I wanted to use this instead of a laptop with serial cable (for wideband) for long datalogs. Given the wideband also has electric interference, I may never trust this either in a world where the serial wideband and the analog output wideband do not agree. Last time I did a trace I could see the two wideband traces follow each other, but one was a little leaner than the other. I plan on playing with voltage offsets and actually driving the thing to see how close they correlate. If they never correlate... then, well, maybe I'll never use either. Ideally I'd like to have the Analog wideband read ever so slightly leaner than the serial one, because the serial one is 'correct'. Tuning the car to be ever so slightly too-rich would be the aim. Not needing to have a laptop flying around in the footwell connected with cables is... an advantage. About the only one from the forced upgrade to MPVI3.
