Hey this might seem like a stupid question but I wanna do it right so thats why im asking opinions.

I just bought a new pulse battery...Its pretty decent and has brass terminals that screw up and down.

Should I cut off my metal connectors on my positive and negative wires and wrap the wires under and around the brass terminals or should I just put the connectors straight over the brass terminals. Not sure about the 2nd option as my connectors are too big for the brass terminals. Any suggestions please??????

Thanks in advance

put the proper connectors on, if you try and do it the dodgy way then it will cause you grief in the long run, with your connectors being too big, how much bigger are they? if its only a little bit then it'll be ok, if its loads bigger then read first part of message :)

you should be able to put the stock ones on...just stretch them open abit till they fit. worked for me.
He said the the clamps are too big for the battery. So no need to stretch them!

FSTR32 - you should just get a battery with the correct sized posts - problem solved!

Problem solved. Bought some smaller battery connectors from autobarn, removed old connectors, stripped back wire and welded wire to new connectors. Probably should have done that first before I posted but I had a mental blank as to how to approach it. cheers for advice

      How do you go about diagnosing ecu's that don't have data logging, is it more experience at that point and just trying out things that you think will fix the issue?

      Stock O2 are basically useless beyond anything at stoich. Any misfire will also be seen as lean. The stock O2 also read a collective exhaust gas volume, not each cylinder. Sputtering and missing means not each cycle is firing, and some are. Which means even if rich, as shit, on cylinders as they miss, they'll read lean, but the cylinders that did fire will read rich, and combined, well, they can read anything from rich to lean.   Start with the basics before even going looking at sensor values.   Edit: I say the above, and that's coming from the guy with a few thousand dollars worth of scan tools sitting right beside me right now that I use frequently for my job.

      I just finished up a manual swap and I have a 1999 S2 AWD automatic in my garage, depending on where you are located. I'm in the the midwest of the US.

      I’ve heard it can be done, you need to redrill the holes where they bolt to the chassis and apart from that they are the same. I’ve never done it or know anyone personally that has, it’s just something I’ve heard

      If it's reading full rich prior to a misfire that gives one directional hint, if it's already reading lean, etc. If it's reading pretty cleanly stoichiometric then suddenly drops out from a misfire that suggests it's not air mass estimation that's the problem. Could be ignition, could be something more subtle. Could be the CAS has decided to start dropping out at random or the drive pin is worn leading to excessive lash and trigger errors. LTFT can tell you the same but it's slower to react and if this is a recent issue it might not have stabilized. STFT stuck in one direction vs fluctuating back and forth can be used instead but I like to read O2 voltages anyways and interpret directly. If the O2 voltages make no sense in general or are super slow to react it could also be a failing O2 sensor. There's no real error correction for failing O2 sensors in these cars.
