Yes, but that doesn't mean it wasn't broke before I looked at it.

gaslight said:In one of the emails he told me that there was no way that I was right there looking at it when it began smoking.
Hmmm yes I was and I'm glad I was there because it could have started a fire.
He said I hooked it up incorrectly and that the water pump ran contiuously for a long period of time.
Hmmm the pump didn't run at all. I shut off the battery switch that day until I had a chance to ask him some questions about why it wouldn't run.
He also told me that because it was wired incorrectly and allowed to run contiuously that fried part of it then I had corrected the wiring and after a long period of time it overheated and melted the resin.
Yet again that isn't what happen. I was there I know when the power was turned on and for how long. I was the one who was there.
He is the one who is being presumtuous by telling me that my 'story' doesn't make sense and that his story(facts) does. WOW I didn't know he was standing right next to me taking notes in my garage. He should have grabbed the fire extinguisher or flipped the battery switch off.
If I can wire up some relays I think I can handle following those directions to hook up the controller. I think the relays are a little harder to do.


well, it seemed to move back and forth easy enough, but I might try a new one, the rubber gasket might be pooched.Dan_Soprano said:try changing the IAC valve instead of just cleaning it?
I'm not taking any more chance with that unprofessional jerk. I sent the controller and both temp probes back. I would never buy from him again and if anyone posts a question about wether or not to buy from him, you can quess what my response will be.whitehorseupnorth said:Remember Bryan, it could be a bad temp sensor also. Since that could be bad, you thought the unit was bad and started to look for the problem and could have crossed some wires without knowing it. I know if I had a new unit Icould get it working...![]()
those things can't be too expensive so go with a new one and new gaskets. If you want one with some bling than you could probably find a polished one on Ebay.cold96snake said:well, it seemed to move back and forth easy enough, but I might try a new one, the rubber gasket might be pooched.
Chris, you gonna be around friday night? I was thinking of picking that junk up.


I got screwing around w/ it last night, trying to find a vaccum leak, because I'm only reading 14 inches at a high (1k) idle, but couldn't find one, but I did notice that the idle seems to surge when the cooling fan is on.gaslight said:those things can't be too expensive so go with a new one and new gaskets.

you have a little handheld propane torch??cold96snake said:I got screwing around w/ it last night, trying to find a vaccum leak, because I'm only reading 14 inches at a high (1k) idle, but couldn't find one, but I did notice that the idle seems to surge when the cooling fan is on.![]()
I'm beginning to think it has to do w/ my cel for the evap canistor/ purge valve.

turn the gas on without lighting it, start your car and run the unlit torch around the vacuum lines. If the idle changes, then you have found your leak.cold96snake said:yeah, why?
