During cranking it sets the timing to 6-8 degrees, idling 9-11 degrees and so on (page F2-133 on the manual). (Incidentatlly - theres is also a fuel cut dechoke system which cuts fue...

I dont know about klze - but a 4 cyl sohc has 3 sensors for 3 different functions - one goes to the computer - one goes to the temp gauge and one turns the fan on/off. As such they all have entirely different specs i believe. If the ZE operates in the same way then you will have the cheapo switch fo...

One strong possiility is firing order mixup. The valve timing might be ok - but the ignition timing might be off - the valves open/close at the correct position but the spark may not be happening at the right time. One option might be to use the diag mode and try different disty positions (as if you...

well a while ago was a big confusing wether the mx3 should die if you take out the oil cap because of loss of pressure opr something. My klze would do that before I vented the pcv to the atmosphere. Afterwards it will stay running without the oil cap on.. strange.. If you had the pcv routed to the ...

i think messages will stay in your outbox till the recepient sees it - if it disappears from the outbox - that's confirmation that he has seen it i think.

You can start by cutting the orange wire - However it is highly recommended that you also cut the Black/Green wire to completely disable the internal ignitor module.

Also reset the computer after you are done.

so this chip is 2 sided and i see one thing for the iat, where does the other end go? Check the "manual" that came with the chip - if its "parallel" then it goes between the iat wire and gnd - if its "series" then you have to cut the iat wire and put it in series. IMO ...
