Did someone maybe lock one up and flat spot it before you got them? I lack abs and locked one up (not for long) and it did flat spot.

On a side note, anyone know how to diagnose an abs light?? Start with a scanner then move to a multimeter and start testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In regards to your ABS questionhttp://www.e30zone.net/e30zonewiki/index.php/ABS_Problems Sorry tried to be funny.. I'll stop now. Yeah last summer my abs light came on and when I would be just coming to a stop the abs would actually come on and keep me from stopping. Kind of terrifying. To fix this I just pulled the abs relay, now it turns out I can lock up the brakes quite a bit in an emergency lol *back to Kaiser's rage drift video* B C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not sure if replacing the wheel speed sensors fixed it or if replacing the ABS unit fixed it because I somehow ended up with a spare ABS unit in my parts stash and am not sure if it is the original one from my car, or if its a spare. Its been 4-5 years. and back on track: Mitch, breaking tires in is just like bedding brakes. Standing burnout up to 60mph (indicated) then slow down and repeat for 10 or so cycles.

KaiserRolls Posted October 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Why is Brookes car missing so many pieces? Looks like you're in the process of a hover car conversion. Because innovate wideband. This will be the fourth calibration and it's impossible to find a Bosch 17025 in stock anywhere besides the damn internet. She won't make it to the autox in her car. Which means she gets to drive mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsbimmer1 Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 That sucks. I know when I was running my AEM in my 240sx I could grab an o2 from a VW 1.8t and call it good. Looking at the 17025 it doesn't look like it cross's with anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which means she gets to drive mine. Is Brooke using the Innovate LC-2 or LC-1? If using the LC-2, from Innovate's website it says the LC-2 can use both the LSU 4.2 & the LSU 4.9 O2 sensors. The LC-1 can only use the 4.2 sensor. Seems like the D shaped connector size is what defines the difference. I guess you would need the correct sensor cable tho if switching to the 4.2 sensor. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserRolls Posted October 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Not sure, I know the connector says 4.9 on it. The 17014 is too large for the D shaped connector. The 17025 is the only one that fits. I tried the upstream 1.8t thing after snap told me and it is the larger 17014 connector(which is the upstream 1.8t) so yeah. After about 7 stops to various auto parts stores-she just ordered one off the internet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassboy3313 Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 I can check to see if I have a spare 4.9 sensor I could mail to ya. If you don't mind a slightly used sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserRolls Posted October 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Idc if it's used or not lol. She already ordered a new one. Either way the car won't be ready for this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassboy3313 Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 No worries. Didn't know if this was the only thing keeping the car from making it this weekend. If not, I won't look for it, lol. KaiserRolls 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunMetalGrey Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 I don't quite understand the issue. Is the controller having issues? Or is it megasquirt dropping the voltage values every time? I and others have used the MTX-L from innovate without issue. I hope you get it figured out, and I'm sad to hear she wont be bringing the car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
