justcallmefrank Forums Junkie I supported Toymods Location: Perth Registered: May 2002	Re: Project Decade Saga Continues Tue, 15 November 2005 22:57 Well after regapping the plugs to 0.8mm (which seemed to achieve nothing) and fiddling with the idle screws, we have almost an acceptable idle of around 900-1100rpm. Not perfect, but at the limit of my care factor. After reading about knock control all of yesterday, I decided it would be a good idea to disconnect my knock sensors, drive home and see if the problem improved. I figured it would just throw a code. I was wrong. After removing one wire, and snapping the other one off (oops!) I drove off, and I've never experienced limp mode quite like this. It was slower than the RA60, and was even slower on boost. Keeping up with traffic was nigh on impossible. Quick stop off to DSE on the way home, picked up some shielded coax cable and took it home. $5 and 45 minutes later I started the car with it's new wiring, revved it to 2000rpm, and no code, signs are good. Quick test spin on way out showed it would pull to redline in 2nd quite comfortably. Ventures past 5000rpm in 1st, 2nd and 3rd confirmed it, the knock sensor wiring was rooted. All seems well again...but it still needs more power, so an aftermarket ECU is in order. [Report message to a moderator]
