Hello all,

My 98 GTT is having issues and I am stuck . the issues surprisingly happened after I washed my car but I am not sure if that is the reason for the issues . Initially there was no cel car started up no problem but seemed to have a misfire at idle and wouldn’t rev above 2k (limp mode ?) . I tried cleaning the AFM and still same issues then the idle got worse and worse . Now the car won’t hold an idle / start and threw codes 12 (afm) 17(abs?) and 46 (tms) . I pulled the coil packs and spark plugs to try to see if they were the issue and car looked to be running rich (black) and the coils (splitfire) all had resistance between 1.5 and 1.6 and cleaned the afm AGAIN so I put back everything back and codes 12 and 17 are gone now but 46 is still there ?
 

how do I correct the code ? Could my issues be from water in the cat from the car wash ? My dumb self also pulled the TPS without marking it so could that also be an issue for starting it? spark plugs are fairly new yet they were black when I pulled them (all of them) 
 

I plan to pull the cat tomorrow to take a look to see if it is clogged. 

also replaced fuel filter 

Side note, my coupler from TB to J pipe is cracking . Will a 2.5 silicon coupler work as a replacement for this old oem one ? 

any insight is appreciated

Make sure you set your TPS back to .46 volts with throttle closed and key in the on position (car off) then use multi metre and probe the positive up the back of your TPS plug, im not 100% sure which of the 3 wires is power on a NEO motor but on my S1 its the middle but just double check. 

as for the coupling in-between tb and j pipe, just take the old one off and take it with you to autobarn, supercheap whatever your go to is and match it up. Those places stock what you need :)

hold on i just realised you're in the USA not Australia hahah, so in that case take the coupling to any automotive parts store you guys have over there instead hahah

Thanks man ! I’ll calibrate the tps . This is the mechanical one though ? Same voltage right ?

Not sure what you mean by mechanical man but this is what im talking about, this is your TPS, and yeh 0.46V is what you’re after!

Mine doesn’t have two plugs . It’s a 1998 rb25det Neo. I didn’t touch that sensor I removed the one in the back which is the mechanical tps which is measured by the throttle / pedal . 

 

 

TPS I bought

Yeh man what you bought is the TPS. Exactly what's circled in the picture I sent, non Neo's sometimes have 2 plugs but that doesn't change the procedure of setting the correct TPS voltage

Great to hear ! Thanks 🙏  waiting for my iacv gasket to get it back together and pray it starts. I’m worried it’s clogged injectors , cam angle sensor , or block is shot . I plan to do tests on all this need week . 

Problem solved 

 

Things I did , 

 

replaced fuel filter, tps sensor , air fuel meter , iacv gasket (had to since I removed it to clean it)

 

other things I did was removed spark plugs and cleaned , checked all coil packs and retighten down packs , cleaned iacv valve , hollowed out oem cat (looked super clogged), reset ecu , cleaned AFM apexi filter pod .

 

not sure what did it but I’m assuming it was either tps or air flow meter / dirty filter

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
