What?

C'mon Scotty, you're only guessing that is the cause :no: . Pretty sure Ryan proved otherwise by disconnecting/reconnecting cruise control. Appears to only be an issue with (some) people running F-Con & given all the wiring changes involved with F-Con installation......

No one else with cruise control has reported TPS codes & most have had it working for over 12 months (mine over 18 months). Probably a combined error free distance of over 150,000km.

Unfortunately I have had no errors since unplugging the cruise, I would say too many things hanging off the pedal output wires will cause it to fault.

Maybe the cruise was the straw that broke the camels' back, so to speak :)

I still want to try a new pedal sensor, but at $300-$400 for a varistor I will just unplug the cruise for now. Sadly, I don't think the fcon even uses the pedal sensor as an input now I think about it. It could be a bad connection in the cruise wiring too I guess. I really want to fix it as the cruise function is great...

Limp mode is a pain, I am scared it will happen with the family in the car while trying to scoot across an intersection. It faulted 8 times on one trip just dropping the kids at school last week. Goddamn electronic throttles.

Has anyone had a fault code P1320 ignition signal come up before on there M35?. Am I due for new coil packs? Or is it to do with plugs. Any ideas would be great.

It is indicating a fault with the ignition circuit, probably best if you start a new thread on it so others can find this same info.

It is letting you know there is a slight resistance change somewhere inside a coil primary or ignition harness. Have you been poking around with the coils recently, or changing plugs? If not it sounds like you will be soon. :P

Mine threw this code when I had the Emanage Ultimate wired in.

Thanks Scotty. I haven't opened the bonnet for 4 weeks. My wife rang and said the engine light wont go off. Looks like a fun job to change coil packs. The code has cleared for now. Hope I dont see it back too soon.

On the subject of coil packs...

I changed my cam cover gaskets on Friday because they were both leaking & at the same time took the opportunity to change the spark plugs.

I dont think they'd been changed in quite a few years - both electrodes were worn away pretty badly - so badly infact that the gap was close to 3mm!

Demonstrates how strong the spark is from the coilpacks if it could keep the car running fine regardless.

Although I must say there's now a very noticable difference in engine response now that the new 1.1mm plugs are in. :O

* And christ, what an ars$ehole of a job that passenger cam cover is to get back on without the rear part of the gasket falling back out - that aircon line can f**k right off.

I need to do my plugs to but have been putting it off.

Also it was me who messaged you. Not some random lunatic... well maybe

NGK Iridium LFR7AIX. I get them from ebay mate. Or you could get them from Harold (Performancelub). Still perfect after 20,000 k's on my car.

Don't get the IKH22's, a few sets I have noticed the threads galling in the head, probably due to them being stainless, and the tip melts within 20,000 (on a stock Stagea). Perhaps the IKH24's might be better, with some anti-seize paste? Or just run the NGK's like me. :)

Just telling it how it is mate. Not telling you to change, just letting everyone know my experiences, it's not like there is a price difference. Perhaps you drive like a pussy compared to Jase? :P

lol.

That said, I put the Denso's in because I had them already. Next set of plugs will be neither NGK nor Denso. There are more interesting designs out there that I want to try :)

      Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.

      Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.

      Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
