Looks like the FP relay was the culprit.

Stuck in one of my repaired relays and things seem good. I told her to give me an update over the next couple of days.

It isn't a "modified" ECU. It's a stock 628 R ECU that would be a drop in for the non-R HPTs.

Misleading ad is misleading.

If it was an AWD LPT 850. it's a 97MY ECU and not going to cooperate for you. At least not with my experience. That -225 is shown as an M4.3 ECU (B5234T4 w/ 16T), according to Motronics Suite. It might *work* in your car ('94) as-is, unless the immobilizer is preventing it from doing so. Comparing i...

The ignition assembly is different in later years in that it is pressed onto the column, instead of clamped to it.
I think the cut-off is airbag or not.

Nothing on a P80 is THAT finicky that you need to worry about that kind of resolution. Things don't need to be this complicated. Have a decent 1/2"-drive torque wrench that will get you to 250 lb-ft and a 3/8"-drive that will cover the smaller stuff. Anything smaller, use a proper-sized wr...

They are Next Level Apparel 3600 T-shirts. Awesome quality shirts. I have waaaay too many Blipshift T's.

Step 4 is deciding if it is worth it to do valve stem seals on either car. Having done the valve seals in the car, I suggest you tackle it while the engine is out of the car. MUCH easier to deal with the exhaust ones on the back of the engine. The intake ones went pretty quickly with the regular &q...

Hey Kesha-

That '06 is going to be more complicated to deal with, IMO.

Hello everybody! If there are programmers or people here who understand how to edit XDF files correctly, then it would be good to add a function for selecting the fan response temperature in motronic 4.4. Because due to the high fan response temperature (105 degrees Celsius), there are many problem...

The big mid brace from the verts does make a difference. We have one on both of our cars. The little front V-brace can't be used on the non-vert subframe unless you add threaded inserts to the front to mount it. If you see one of the big braces in the yard, it's usually not a waste of time to grab i...
