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...

560 and 410 in series nets a 610 ohm load, not 410.......

well all in all...the fact is the resistors do work.....my triangle "might" be out of range since i'm using a 150/560 twisted together to make up the 390ohms...


thanks joel/and big "V".....gets harder when trying to do this on the computer....besides one code is better than eight...


sorry if i was venting out to strongly....it is not a normal trend for me to blast out like that.

Again, check your values. A 150 ohm and a 560 ohm in series adds the resistance values equalling 610 ohms. If you put them in parallel you would be even further off as the net resistance will be equal to adding the inverse, and taking the inverse of that number This would net you an impedence under 150 ohms................. This could be your problem.

If you wonder if I am an electrical idiot giving advise, I have a degree in electronics and been in the biz over 10 yrs.....

so why did my 150's twisted together work?..thanks for your help guys,but what about the meter question?

if you put the two 150 ohm resistors in series(connecting one end to the other, not both ends together) you will get 300 ohms. by needing to get 390 ohms you are off by 25%, dunno how good er bad that would be

... the 150's were twisted to make 75ohms....like i said everything works now....
