Hope the crank sensor comes in today. :)
SHE'S ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just want to thank each and everyone of you for you help on this. Especially Qavion, thanks so much man. Now getting her all tuned up is the next step. Seems like I need to change the F1 fluid and do a good bleed there, the F1 pump is running every 30seconds or so and I know that can't be right. I also got a catalytic converter over temp code after I let it get up to temp. Ill have to investigate that one. Other than that she runs and drives pretty dang good. I only took it for a quick lap but shifts and drives like a dream. Thanks again.
Actually, I think I was more a hindrance than a help. I should have guessed the issue from your first message, but we got distracted by cam sensors and immobilisers At least we all learned something. Flash should be able to help you with your F1 issue. If you can identify which bank is throwing your cat overtemp, maybe try swapping your thermocouple ECUs. Technistra make some good aftermarket versions.
I also got that code when I bought mine, and it was one of the thermocouples; left bank for me. I suggest you change the accumulator too, it will (most likely) help with keeping the pressure longer and reduce pump fatique. the Thinkdiag device (100 bucks on amazon) can help with bleeding the F1 , changing the fluid. .... good luck!
Took her for another quick loop this morning and noticed a few things I could use a little more help with. I am grateful for all the help I have gotten so far but now I am on a mission to get this old girl sorted. 1. I originally thought it seemed like the F1 pump was coming on too much and when the engine is running that is certainly true. I went ahead and drained the old fluid and put in new and then rand the bleed cycle several times while topping off the fluid with the bleed nipple on the right side of the motor. Now when the car ignition is on and I select gear up the F1 pump pumps for an extended period of time, a slow down light comes on and the F1 symbol illuminates briefly. The slow down light does go away. I feel like I introduced air into the system and made it worse. Is there a second area I have to bleed or is there a secondary procedure I need to go through? 2. The catalytic converter over temp reading seems to be somewhat wonky. The right side is reading -50 degrees C and the left side is reading 200+ degrees C. Pretty sure neither of these are right as an external temp reader is reading them both at 175ish degrees. Where are those silly thermocouples. I am assuming they are under the air box and under the heat shield??? 3. Upon driving the car I got one last code that popped up that was failure to communicate with NFR that came along with a suspension light with two triangles undernieth. I suspect this may be batter related as I have tinkered with this poor thing on the same battery a ton. Charging the batter slowly now to see if that helps. Thanks again guys. Jeff
Just noticed you have a 2007 .. you most likely don't have thermocouples. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Fully charge battery and try the f1 shifting again with engine off... it's wonky without proper power
If you are having F1 problems hit up @flash32 . He is extremely helpful and knows more than just about anyone on the planet about the F1 system.
As far as number 3, I get those codes also, most likely from battery. So I would clear and ignore them after some driving. If I am understanding you correctly, the logo with the triangles under the tires is actually from the TPMS system needing to be reset. There’s a hidden button below the dash on left hand side on 2007. hold that down for a while with key on, but engine off. It will flash on the dash and then you can go drive to reset the TPMS. Hope that helps some. congrats on everything else.
The WSM says that warning light is for the Suspension (Skyhook) System. TPMS warnings show a tyre profile with an exclamation mark in it (similar to the logo on the TPMS button) Sorry, disregard my comment on the thermocouple ECUs (brain fart.. I was thinking 360)
NFR is the brake module. What was the actual fault on the scanner. Was something not getting ABS/ASR data... or was the ABS/ASR system reporting that it wasn't getting data from something? Anyway... battery recharge first.
Here’s a little video of her running Got the battery fully charged and suspension error went away, that was an easy one.
Charged the battery to 100% and this one seems to have gone away, Now if I could just get the darn thing to go into gear.
@flash32 I hear your the guy to reach out to when it comes to the F1 system on these cars. After I first got the engine running and I took the car on a little spin and it ran fine. Then this morning I took it on a very short loop again and it ran and shifted fine. Then ended up giving me a slow down light and would not shift out of neutral. Now the car starts and runs great but it still has something a little funny going on. When I first start the car it stumbles a little and gives me a slow down light. Then it seems as though something kills the engine. Then if i start it right back up it runs and idles perfectly with no slow down light and it will idle for as long as I leave it. This morning I had a low battery and was getting a suspension cam bus error but I charged the battery to 100% and that seems to have gone away. Now for some reason or another the car wont go into 1st gear. I thought it might be air in the system so did the bleed procedure on the right side of the engine a couple times. I did find a very small leak right at the main hose going into the bleeder manifold. That did not seem to help. When the car is running the F1 pump seems to kick on about every 2 minutes. Both when the car is off and the car is running if I try to shift to 1st you can hear the pump and you can hear the shifting mechanism trying to move the actuator into place. But it just doesnt seem to take. Could the code from the catalytic converters be keeping it from going into gear. I would think so? Do you know what the normal pressure should be in the F1 system. Mine is around 530. Thanks in advance for your and everyone elses help.
