    Code 51 / TPS ('88 7M-GTE)

    Do I feel like an idiot! You are correct Supraguy, I did not switch the meter from 2k to 20k. The readings are now within spec: VTA - E2 = 5220 ohms (full throttle) VC - E2 = 7190 ohms Thank you for saving me time and money! Tomás

    Code 51 / TPS ('88 7M-GTE)

    Hello all, I have only one code left to troubleshoot and it is 51. First I checked that it was not related to the A/C, car is manual. Then I jumped the terminals at the harness when unplugged from the sensor and the code was gone, so I proceeded to calibrate it. I removed the throttle body and...

    Code 32 / HAC Sensor

    Found the plug! When I pushed the main harness through the firewall, that plug was left behind. Had to take all apart to hunt it down. Good thing you saved me from going the other route. Thanks again, Tomás

    Code 32 / HAC Sensor

    Thanks Piratetip! I don't have a computer so I'm using the phone to search and it's driving me nuts. I'll keep looking for the right plug. Tomás

    Code 32 / HAC Sensor

    Hello guys, Does anyone know if that butchered plug should go to the HAC sensor? I'm trying to resurrect my car and one of the codes I get is 32 ('88 7M-GTE). The sensor has no plug going to it an that is the only 3 prong harness I could find nearby. Thank you, Tomás

    The company I used is called KPC and they are down in Florida; but I am sure you can find one just as good locally. They have a lot charge of $75 and depending on the parts they can either use a barrel or hang them. For screws and small pieces the barrel is the best way to go and can do several...

    Neverending Restoration (Beware many pictures...)

    The alternator was new but after so many years got corroded so I took it apart, sandblasted it and painted it (bearings changed as well). Also took apart the throttle body and painted it...

    Neverending Restoration (Beware many pictures...)

    Hi guys, Here are a few more pictures since the last time. The engine is about 90% complete, just waiting for a few more bolts and o-rings as well as clutch components to install the transmission. The body is about 95% complete. I'm missing the hatch/targa trim, front spoiler and wiper arms...

    Neverending Restoration (Beware many pictures...)

    Thanks! Most of the cast iron & steel items, such as calipers, brackets and tubing, were black zinc plated. The brake pins, bolts, banjos and other small miscellaneous parts were yellow zinc plated (barreled). I used a local company down here in Florida; their price seemed fair. All the...

    Neverending Restoration (Beware many pictures...)

    Thanks a lot guys! I first saw up close wrinkled powder coating from my brother's S2000 and loved the clean look of it (also not too flashy). I like how it looks on Ferrari's engines as well, but that is probably impossible to mimic. The dealer has a love/hate relationship with me, last...

    Neverending Restoration (Beware many pictures...)

    If everything goes as planned I should be done in 3-4 months more. I just need to get the intake manifold back from powder coating (also wrinkled but black). My plan is to have all the engine black contrasting against the white paint with the exception of the valve covers. I am also waiting for...
