Re: Tavman's - 93 White MX3 BPT Update Sept 29th
So I was finally able to drive the car.... with no hood, bumper, exhaust, insurance or plate!! It was just around to the front of my house then back in the garage a couple times. Trying to figure out some issues: first issue being the battery light stays on very dimly(cleaned an checked grounds, next issue is everytime I touch the throttle light or heavy the car bogs down an I can hear my VAF clapping shut(this happens at low RPMs after 3000 she is fine. If I turn on the lights at idle the car feels like it wants to stall out, this is probably linked to my grounding issue. It is a brand new battery which reads 12.65 volts an running it reads 14.45 volts.
Here are a couple pictures

The last one is a video of what the VAF is doing(hopefully the video works never done it before)

The video works and it's looking great.
Check both engine to chassis and battery to chassis grounds.

Looks good, your alt may be failing. or there is something grounded that shouldn't be or not grounded. What VAF is that? Have you tested the voltage on it to make sure it is adjusted properly?
When I was running my RX7 vaf it was a fine dance between my A/F gauge and adjusting the VAF, FPR, and the TB to get everything dialed in correctly. Best thing to do is mark your VAF and give it a click or two in either direction and see if it fixes the issue. I did it many many many times to get it right. I ended up being just a little off from what the VAF tuning specs were on CP.

Re: Tavman's - 93 White MX3 BPT Update Sept 29th
The alternator is brand new an the voltage it is putting out is 14.57V at idle. I am using the BP26 code U VAF but I am only able to get a reading of 2.21 volts at idle with it so I am going to ground the hell out of the car to fix that issue first and it should help for the tuning!

IIRC i don't think you need the extra TPS wire if you run a 92-93 harnessTavman_1213 wrote: No luck even grounding the Hell out the engine an nothin'!!!

Re: Tavman's - 93 White MX3 BPT Update Sept 29th
Here for the guys that want to change their washer nozzles to fan instead of the 2 streams
Here's the part number it's a plug an play system
They come out of a Tribute or Escape
Here's the sad part of my update
Dealing with this POS of a wiring harness trying to figure out my electrical issues!!(place gun to head an pull trigger)
Also does anyone have a 93 wiring diagram?? I have searched an the 94+ is completely different even the color coding so if you could send me that that would be appreciated!! Just sick of searching an coming up with some much 94+ stuff but no 93 diagrams

Re: Tavman's - 93 White MX3 BPT Update Sept 29th
That looks like it's no fun at all!
I've got a buddy who has access to Alldata/Prosis/MItchellOnDemand, what model and year diagram should I ahve him look up? SHould be able to get it tossed onto a USB drive.
I've been mulling over wether I want to drill some holes into my CF hood and use those or go with the GM washer/wiper system.

Re: Tavman's - 93 White MX3 BPT Update Sept 29th
I've used alldata before and they've got some pretty good wiring diagrams in there, pulled my hatch wiring from it, mitchell wasn't as good but alldata had it all color coded and whatnot but I'd imagine it isn't as good when you aren't using the actual program vs. having a PDF of it.Tavman_1213 wrote:I have access to mitchel on demand an it's not the greatest for help but thanks anyways

Those fan nozzles look good!! How wide is the spray, measured at the windshield?? I removed my entire system, but might consider using it if I upgrade it first.

Re: Tavman's - 93 White MX3 BPT Update October 26th
So I am a dumb a--! The no power issue I was havin was a very simple yet stupid mistake! I had the plug wires going 1-3-4-2 in a clockwise motion instead of counter clockwise.....(insert gun into mouth an pull trigger) after I changed them to the correct firing order she revs like a dream!! Can't take it for a road test because of the snow but it should be melting soon!
Also switched up the front emblem on my car here's the pics
Really like how it turned out!!
Now to finish fixing, painting an mounting the front bumper then all that is left is to tune it an get the exhaust done!!
