xtech · Postby **xtech** » May 26th, 2008, 10:56 am

i told reddo to let d fella who worked on mine do his.............d fella very good an quick (45mins) man did not even cut out a wire from my harness. Even got the fuse box from d starlet in my engine compartment.

Last week i blew out d Aircon an tail light fuses from the fuse box inside d laser so as the starlet fuse box had same fuses i stole them. Sit down to drive next day an low an behold all my dash warning lights on except oil an parking.

The Exuast temp, fuel low an charge light all on......i thought a wire broke somewhere. Drove d the car like dat an i realize water temp gauge rising fast at lights an d car not running good low on power.

Tried to turn on cooling fans manually but no spin......i had to run straight from battery to get dem spinning car still run bad. I was like wat d hell i go have to call back d electritian. Then it occured to me i stole fuses from the damn box so i went an buy 10 push fuse an all mess gone. Those lights was check engine warning lights sweet....damn fella coulda say he hook up engine warning lights geeze.

Fuel injection an cooling fan also A/T fuse was missing.

Like I thought the Starlet fuse box was dey for style .

reddo_tuner · Postby **reddo_tuner** » May 26th, 2008, 5:46 pm

Update, the car was test run, a few things, the electrician says the car idles to high, so that has to be checked and the ac pump is shot, but as far as i am concerned, that is secondary, the car will be done for tomorrow.

xtech · Postby **xtech** » May 26th, 2008, 6:14 pm

idle to high means vaccum lines leaking ..............
i had d same problem lots of holes to plug now she idles at between 900-1000

When he said that the engine is idling too high, what rpm did he consider to be "too high"?

suzieboy · Postby **suzieboy** » May 26th, 2008, 9:12 pm

so 1200rpm too high?

reddo_tuner · Postby **reddo_tuner** » May 26th, 2008, 9:15 pm

thats what he says, is that rpm normal to idle @?

Terran · Postby **Terran** » May 27th, 2008, 8:09 am

A bit. 800-1000 should be fine.

dmitc · Postby **dmitc** » May 27th, 2008, 9:51 am

idle to high means vaccum lines leaking ..............

could also be the tps or even the AFM (not sure if this engine has one)
tb might need a cleaning too
