RE: DOING THE RESISTOR THING DOES WORK

ok which is both twisted together?

560 ohms and a 150 in series makes it 710 ohms, and 560 and a 150 in parellel makes it 355 ohms.

well this is the problem....i did the egr thing,but had no 390 ohms...so i used a 560 and a 150 in series so that makes it a 410 ohm..i did use the 3.9's.....i have no cel what's so ever, but the 85,and 34 still comes up the rest are gone though

.....here's the thing since i'm killing power by kill switch...the computer still has "stored" energy right?...how do i clear that stored memory?

btw my idle is perfect with no fluctuation whatsoever...

RE: DOING THE RESISTOR THING DOES WORK

parellel would would be twisting them resitors together and series would be like making a train, one after another. if its parrelel you add the resistance and devide by the number of resistors, and if its in series then you just add them together 2,3,4 .....

2, 100 ohm resistors in series would be 200 ohms but in parellel it would be 50 ohms.

RE: DOING THE RESISTOR THING DOES WORK update!!

well here's the deal...i got every code cleared,but one and that's 34,and i think i know why.

making up the resistor triangle basicaly just keeps the CEL off...which is cool for me...

all the 8* codes are gone,and the rest that popped up also.....does it run better?...throttle response seems more crisp...also my t.p.s was 1.09 so i put it at .998.....

now i do have one issue..idle surge is still present...will my mass air meter create such problems...what are the steps in checking the meter?...volt checks/load?...is it because i have 24's/meter also.
