Thanks for that info. Now im wondering how it would be possible for the TEMS ti control a 5 way adjustable shock... hmm. Guess we'll have to wait until someone can get a hold of some.

It's wired into the harness appears about the level of the injectors. I'll do the resistance check, thanks for the tip. And I'd love to find a new TPS connector among some other connectors. Thanks for the tips guys.

Can anyone verify that the cut wire is indeed a ground wire? I think that is what it looks like per the TSRM diagram, but wanted to make sure my eyes weren't playing tricks on me. Also is there a location for which it should be grounded to, engine or chassis? Thanks in advance guys! Much...

I wonder how the TEMS controller is setup. How many turns to adjust the stiffeness etc. Either way, I have the stock two button but I have it hardwired to the diagnostic box so I can "select" the third setting. Right now I leave it in three because my struts are blown, lol.

Yah that's what I am hoping as I'm awaiting availability as well. My guess would be you need to pick three of the five adjustable settings and then TEMS would modulate those three. I.E. settings 1,2,3 or 2,3,4 or 3,4,5. Lets just hope they come with some kind of instructions lol...

Does anyone know if the new Illuminas will be TEMS compatible like the Illumina IIs were? My understanding is that the new ones are 5 way adjustable versus the Illumina IIs which were 3 way I believe. Not sure how 5 way adjustable plays into a 3 way system???

You can always take the top off the AFPR and clean it out/verify there isn't any gunk. Also double and triple check your vacuum lines to make sure none are disconnected or leaking. I had an issue that I thought was AFPR related and being the bone-head that I am I didn't check the obvious. Worth...

Synaptic BOV is recirculated to accordian hose. Any other ideas? Thanks again for your time.

I did check the TPS per TSRM last weekend and it fit all the specs for resistance. It is also fairly new. I only had a code 42 registered. Is there another way to check to see if its poorly adjusted? Thanks again for the help guys, its much appreciated.

A little update: I traced all my Vac lines and low and behold, I had one disconnected on the valve atop the power steering! :Big Face Palm:... Serves me right for not starting there. The idle has returned to normal and now my AFPR is reading 28 with vac and 35 without. I am still seeing a large...

I did follow the tsrm to test resistance and then operation on the IAC, but I was unable to verify movement (maybe it only moves a little for each cycle, S1, S2, S3, S4, S1 example) but I did here the sound for both open and close. Can you explain what I am looking for on the throttle stop...

Thank you for the reply. My worry is that the rubber seal in the check valve isn't fully seated or doesn't appear to be. My thought is that this wouldn't matter as it be open under vacuum and forced shut under pressure. Is this the correct line of thinking? Anyone know what a new one looks...

A little history: I have a 1987 7MGTE that hasn't been driven much that last four years, which is probably most of the issue. I took it to Reno for Hot August Nights 2 years ago and it won't idle on its own. It trys to idle in the low 550-600 RPM range and tries to catch itself then dies. I have...

1/2 of a quart, sorry I missed that. I primed the turbo when I installed it and I went ahead and installed a Driftmotion soft oil return and inlet oil lines when I put the rebuilt turbo on. I really am at a loss with why I get so much smoke. It smoked before I rebuilt the turbo and it smokes...

Thanks for the replies guys. I still need to re-inspect the turbo for shaft play. My oil consumption is about 1/2 every 1200 miles or so. I have a small leak though in one of my oil cooler lines that I need to address. So if it is the turbo, why does it only seem to happen upon deceleration? I...

So a little history. I'm running a 7mgte that I built about 5 years ago. I currently store the car in Utah, as I am away for school in Michigan, so the car doesn't get ran much, only when I come home for breaks. I'm 2 weeks into my month break and I can't seem to curb this issue. Any ideas or...

You can test your WG actuator with any bicycle pump with a gauge. Stock WG crack pressure is around 5.5 to 6psi if I recall correctly. However, if you your wastegate actuator is seized, you will either never build boost, or build way too much. Don't think this is your issue. Try the plugs, I was...

Try reducing the gap on your spark plugs, if they are set a stock gap. You are likely to to get surging at higher than stock boost levels without reducing the gap. Happened to me a few years back, may be worth a try.

The car is definately having a hard time idling. The weird thing is, it mostly started having problems about 2 weeks ago, the two weeks prior to that it was running great, save for the leanish mixture under boost (I was able to get into the low 12's high 11's with quite a bit of SAFC adjustment...

Ok, I tried to get it close and I can't see a significant change in pressure on my AFPR when on vacuum and off. When I set it to 40 off vacuum, it only drops to about 36 psi on vacuum. I get suction from the vacuum line connected to the AFPR, but it doesn't seem to be working as I figured it...
