Thrasher performance

hey guys, did you know you can run any size pulley you want?

"Your engine computer wil automatically sense the higher airflow and adjust to the new pulley."

Re: My version of electrical problems

It was the driver's window switch. Thanks a lot everyone!

I can now use the remote to unlock the doors, use the memory seats, mirrors, and 3 of the 4 windows! (The driver's window does a lot of clicking about halfway down and stops, but that's for another thread.)

And thanks to Andrew for having ...

Re: The puddle of green

That looks bad. If you've confirmed that it's not coming from the elbow, that just leaves the LIM gasket, right?

Well after 11 years, the plastic decided it wasn't going to put up any of that temp-changing nonsense and it was failing bad. I had a garage guy look at it and when he got the ...

I don't think this is aluminum, but it IS the second design.

Does anyone have a part number for the aluminum LIM gasket kit?

Re: My version of electrical problems

Oh... So there really isn't a way to check the switch without replacing it?

So the main ground connector under the seat is a pile of rust :(

I took a scratch pad to the bolt but I really need to clean the threads in the hole too.

The puddle of green

So I see a nice collection of antifreeze under my car, and I'm thinking this could be the treacherous LIM gasket failure. :angry7:

I don't know how the coolant passages run through the intake but I'm sure this isn't good.

Re: My version of electrical problems

I just came back to say that! haha! All wires going to the switch do "something" when pressed. The only odd thing is I have 14 ohms resistance from the switch ground to chassis ground. But the serial data signal, which I'm guessing translates any physical function of the switch into an order for the ...

Re: My version of electrical problems

Holy crap, I have power at A7, and power at the window switch... had to cut some of the plastic insulator off the top of the probe so I could get in in there and voila.

So now I'm checking for power coming out of the switch back to the DDM, and that should activate one of the thicker wires to ...

Re: "Service Stability System

I had the part already before I checked out the harness to match it with the other side... I lucked out that it was actually the sensor.

My friend has a Snap-On (same brand as the tool) OBD2 reader. (I think its an MT2500) It scans for trouble codes (DTC's) and also ABS system trouble codes. I ...

Re: ticking/air leak noise..

I have the same issue with mine... started out only under boost and now it's under any load at all. I might take it in so someone can put it on a lift and look for exhaust cracks... But I'd rather just find some cheap headers and a DP then pay for repairs of stock parts.

Keep updating if you ...

Re: My version of electrical problems

Tomorrow.

I'm going to pull the panel, check for power at A7, then switch out the module with the other 3 and check each one. If they all fail, I may be looking at trying to find one new... $300 :(

Re: How does the PCM calculate horsepower?

I've had some SG2 issues like that. What did it for me was when I told the gauge I filled up and it said 2 gallons, and I assumed it meant how many I put in so I went up to the number on the gas pump, and the HP number went up to around 800. I now believe it means how much was left? I don't really ...

Re: "Service Stability System

A Snap On scanner read my ABS codes and from that I determined the cause of all 3 lights, for me, was in the front right wheel speed sensor or the circuit leading to it. I spent the $100 at Autozone, and spent the 4th of July replacing it (and did front brakes while I had it apart), and now am code ...

Re: My version of electrical problems

Pulled door jam connector (C500) out, and disconnected it. On the door side, I pulled each wire individually away from the connector but nothing came out or felt loose. On the car side of the connector I probed all the wires for consistency with the FSM. All checked to be ok, but I'm not sure what ...

Re: Serial bus issues


I removed the DDM and never got the lights or the ding, granted none of the door functions worked. Removed seats and carpets and checked all grounds, connections to the DIM, connections to the EBCM and hosed the car to make sure it was still leak free.

Can you describe where these grounds are? I ...

I believe you are correct, but I have no power there. hmmm, maybe when I try the switch? Still no... But I wish I had about 3 more hands to hold probes/flip switches/hold grounds.

Re: My version of electrical problems

Everything worked once the jumper was removed. A8 still has power.

I connected A7 to a known +12v source (the thicker orange wire) and it blew the DRV MOD fuse. This could mean A7 has come apart and shorted to ground....

The voltage difference between A8 and A7 is about 12 volts so I was thinking ...
