Re: Crankshaft sensor relearn?

hmm..... if you had a fuel pressure gauge, I imagine you would have hooked it up by now to see what's happening in the rail. my gut says you replaced the pump/filter, the only major fuel components left are the regulator and injectors themselves. I can't see the injectors only acting dumb during a t...

Re: Crankshaft sensor relearn?

all of that seems reasonable. cam pulse bit is acting as intended, it's something the processor keeps track of to let it know when a cam pulse occurs and then counts all 7X(3X) crank sensor pulses afterwards to keep track of which cylinders are upcoming their fuel and ignition events. TPS of .39 is ...

Re: Crankshaft sensor relearn?

depending on how quickly it updates, you may be able to rule it as bad. when my last one went, upon the throttle getting snapped shut, closed throttle voltage would dip about .1 volts below normal for a short period of time, then the PCM would relearn that as the 0% reference point, so a half second...

Re: Crankshaft sensor relearn?

if the TPS is failing, it can do the same, PCM doesn't see the throttle opening quickly until after it's too late to add AE fueling to correct for a rapid change in airflow.

a failing fuel pressure regulator comes to mind as well since you've changed the pump with no improvement.

Re: Speedo out of wack

could be just the cluster or the PCM/speed sensor, can't tell without hooking into it and viewing the datastream(or if you have a scope, watch the 4K VSS circuit for anything odd)

Re: Crankshaft sensor relearn?

the 94-95 3100 PCM has no CASE learn requirement/procedure. ICM was changed, nothing wrong with that. Ohm's were checked on the coils and all were in spec. Did have some water in the gas which some Heet took care of. Right now the engine runs fine, but if you stab the throttle in or out of gear it w...

Re: Cuts off at high RPMs

this is using a 95 3100 beretta switch for reference, but I don't know what switch you're planning on using, they differ quite a bit depending on original application. http://i.imgur.com/tAinzeK.png with no range switch, all inputs should be detected as "low", which should set a DTC(assumi...

Re: Frame rail from a 1988 Tempest

a Tempest was a L-car, so it should be identical.

Re: 99 Grand Prix GTP questions

depending on your location, you may want to take a good look in the strut towers, usually only the rear, to make sure there isn't any hidden rust going on. it isn't nearly as bad with a 2nd gen w-body, but it still happens.

rocker panels also like to crumble apart in those same locations.

Re: Possible bad ECM input needed.

heating/cooling cycles and vibration take their toll on even the best solder joints. electrolytic caps also have a finite lifespan. more often than not, those two causes are responsible for most internal ECM failures. outside of that, you can unintentionally damage them in any number of ways, but th...

Re: PROM Chip differences?

Ben knows what he's doing, unlike whoever at hypertech was responsible for the calibration that was in the 85 IROC.... that one is depressing to look at. At least it came in the ECM rather than me paying for it.

Re: Motor pooped!

i've heard of some late 3400 heads with the smaller rocker bolts pulling the threads out of the head, i don't know how likely that would be with 95 3100 heads though.
