Had a small injury today where i wanted to test if the ciggie lighter was working properly, needless to say my finger has a nice sized blister on it now. :P

Did you buy that motor from Dr_Drift?

I was there when he took it off the window assembly, and boy did it fling out. Lucky for him, he used his foot to hold down the rails while he unscrewed the motor. Once that last screw was out all hell broke loose.

Sorry for not thinking of putting up a thread, i know for next time.

aw11, I did sorta the same thing ... cept my mother stole the power cable to the computer, so instead of doing the smart thing and realising that the kettle used the same cord type, I used three coasthangers which I bent out (I was only like 12, gimme a break) ...

Well, you guessed it it was all working fine until I decided my hand belonged next to me instead of on the desk, course the computer was also next to me with streaming 240 volts care of the coathangers ....

Hand went down, thankfully safety switch caught it, however hand went up straight into a running fan ... felt the electricity go down my arm and to my chest, arm and hand was numb for a good 5 mins or so, only after did I reliase how much damage the fan did to my fingers :P

hehhehe, im not used to typing with one hand, i can sort of use my right hand, but its a bit difficult, as its bandaged up.

Al: yeah it was the motor that i got off Dr_Drift, dont matter ill be rite, just temporary loss of use of my right hand, hahaha :(

Macka: if ya dont have to unscrew the 3 screws that are on the motor you'll be rite as it only springs back when u take those screws out

rs73: did you want a pic of the actual motor? i can take one and PM it to you if u want.

Boostzor: its the first bad injury ive had while working on the car, hehe, but im sure there are plenty more to come.....:)

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
