already looked in FAQ . now i need your guys's help. ok, so if youve read my other posts i still have the 3800 problem and before you ask, yes i grounded everything, and i mean everything from front to back. didnt help at all. so... i checked resistances of the crank angle sensor... good, aws valve...good, bac valve.. good, now heres 3 things i need your help on.
(1) first off, my car was built before nov of 86, and 7's built before then had problems with the ground on the pressure sensor, so i regrounded it just like they did when they had the recall back in the 80's... i have another pressure sensor tho, found it in my parts car. this one and the one on my car look exactly the same except the part numbers are different, and when i say exactly the same i mean in every way, plug and everything. old one reads (N327 6612 E1T12071) and the new one i found reads (N350 9227 E1T12272) can i use the new one?????? it plugs right up and everything.
(2) im using an s5 tps on my s4,(dont bust my *****, its the only other sensor i had) i just spliced the wires from the s5 sensor to the s4 plug, and cut the wires (so its just there, not being used) on the oil metering sensor i think is what it is. works good too, but before putting it on i checked it with an ohmeter, no opens or shorts, i went out and checked it just now and it has a big open in it from about halfway depressed to all the way to full throttle... and i have an old s4 tps laying around... does the same damn thing as the s5 one, has a short in the same area...????
(3) my volt gauge reads just a little bit over 12 volts, ide say about 12.3 maybe... shouldnt it be putting out close to 14? or are rx7's just different like that. my buddy has an 86 that reads exactly where mine does and he has no hesitation...took it to work and tested the alternator. first test read a good 14 volts, second test only brought up like 12.2 volts. so if you can remember or feel like going and starting up your second gen let me know what your voltage reads on the gauge. is there any other alternator that will fit into the stock mounts that puts out more volts.. .like from a different car ?
