The M90 was just a stray thought, and ZZP allows that their tunes are MAF based, so pulley size isn't important, in theory... I guess that's why they didn't ask about exhaust mods or pulley size... I may or may not do a 2.7 pulley, but I don't have anything planned...

Part of me wants to mod the car, and part wants to just finish what's been started...

And yeah, more torque damping is needed at higher power levels... Rotated transmission mounts keep the transmission from breaking under load(generally when a careless driver gets wheelhop under heavy wheelspin), and a torque damper/poly engine mounts improve shifting feel under stress...

 

Torque dampeners have been proven not to work on these cars.
Really all you can do is a BSD and the rotated mounts.

 

I'm 100% sure that if the engine torques in its mounts at all, a torque damper could be made, that would actually work, and would likely help... That being said, it doesn't surprise me that the ones for sale don't work...

 

So, my car did something frustrating today... I was driving on a graveled road at about 30mph, and the car stalled and refused to run again... Wouldn't stay running, but would crank and fire... After about ten minutes of frustration, and a pending P0335 code, it fired up like nothing happened... Then, I left it running and got out, and heard the door lock when the door shut, so I had to break into my car while it was running...

I cleared the code, and it hasn't returned yet... Maybe the bumpy road jarred the crank position sensor?

 

Probably dirtied something up. These things are so damn sensitive to EVERYTHING

 

There was some vibration, and I was turning 5500RPM when the engine stalled... It appeared to just stop taking fuel, and then stalled out...

 

ummmmm, that could be a few different things. Probably something in the gas clogged an injector.

 

knocking CKP out of place would have left you stranded unless a magical force came and put it back into place. The key to me is that it is a CKP Sensor Circuit malfunction not necessarily a CKP sensor malfunction

maybe you were turning high enough rpms that the separation between the sensor and the reluctance ring on the crank widened just enough to create an unusuable signal. This led to fuel and ignition shutdown.

It would then probably have wanted to relearn the crank position with some rotations with no fuel or spark. Prob did this when you initially tried to re start it. Maybe you flooded it trying to get it to restart ,and the wait allowed the flooding to clear.

Or your CKP is sensitive to heat and/or vibration and you should just change it

 

It almost always(for the ten minutes) would start after a couple seconds, barely run for a few tenths of a second, and then stall again... And then, it started like nothing was wrong after I pushed it for 100 yards toward a wide spot and couldn't go any further uphill... And it has run fine since then, the P0172 returning as pending, but not the P0335...

It was kinda comical to be locked out immediately afterward though... Scratched the door panel all to crap around the window button trying to roll the window down with a piece of sheet metal strip(all that was handy)...

As a side thought, my ZZP 1.0 PCM shipped put today! I should, in theory, be tuned within a week or so... I'm getting excited, lol

 

ZZP ships really quick. Ive gotten things within 3 days of ordering. It is quite nice.
OTTP took almost a week to ship my things. But at least they got shipped. I feel a bit better about Josh now.
