starts fine, idles and warms up fine … but no rev beyond 2K
ECU reference: http://xenonzcar.com/z31/ECUcodes.html
So long story short .. I ran ECU diagnostics and have two codes
23 - throttle valve switch (idle switch ) circuit
31 - load signal switch
After checking the Auxiliary driving lamps aren't working at all so that is probably the 31 . I'm going to try swappin in another relay and see if that helps the fuse was OK … hmmm
I have a spare TPS so I'm going to try that tomorrow ( Its not perfect , it has a dead spot on the throttle rheostat deal )Last edited by dbruce; 07-02-2018, 06:45 PM. -
I seem to remember that the limp mode 2K limit was more often than not, caused by a faulty AFM.
Might unplug it and try to start it to see if anything changes or at least throws that code. Just purely a guess.

Thanks for the ideas .. I've seen lots of variations of this problem and right, bad wiring connections and bad power can make all this happen . Sometimes it is a bad component . When things go back and forth between working and not, I tend to think its a bad connection. I remember once I had a bad coil wire that was arcing and it acted just like this … so it's not my first rodeo … It's always the last place you look where you find the problem .
I'm checking fuses and connections and I've got some spare pieces to swap …Last edited by dbruce; 07-02-2018, 09:24 PM. -
So today it rev'ed fine … took it for a drive and now waiting to see if it survives a thermal cycle … hmmm … bizarreLast edited by dbruce; 07-03-2018, 02:16 PM.Comment

So today it's reving fine and I've started the engine multiple times and heat cycled the car …
So I must of cleaned the bad connection ( wish I knew which one )
Now of course is the question of reliability, repeatably … dependability
I've got more new parts on the way … and i'll check more bits …

So far it seems to be fixed .... installed a new coil and TPS ,,, may have been water condensation around the spark plugs? Whatever … Got new tires put on last week ( man the mich pilots were great 80K+ miles) and I'm proceeding with the tuneup …Last edited by dbruce; 07-16-2018, 10:23 AM. -
Today I put in a new fuel filter , dist cap and rotor , and added an auto trans inline filter … Adding in some Auto-rx to the auto trans to see if it un-stick the solenoids ( temp sensor, kickdown, lockup inhibit switch aren't working consistently see: https://www.auto-rx.com/for-dirt-con…rasives-sludge ) but shifts fine … so maybe its the wiring again
Last week I discarded the no tread Michelin Pilots ( 80K miles ) for these less expensive tires …

FYI … Today the AT lockup inhibit switch started working again … E4N71B This takes you out of overdrive in all the gears 1-2-3 and out of TC lockup …
Also install the prw2 for the ignition yesterday
So I don't know why maybe the AUto-RX is working or just that I've been driving it ( I took a long drive just yesterday ,,, and it would not work for me.) … time will tellLast edited by dbruce; 08-03-2018, 04:42 PM.
