  7. Hahaha just the usual forum response. Lol. Please do not look up cop chip. Cooler, injectors, fuel pump, cat back exhaust, actuator should get you up to 300. If you know where you are going to get it tuned maybe have a chat with them and see what direction they point you in have a step back ask a few more questions and make a decision on what path you want to go down. What State are you in and what tuner are you thinking of getting to do the work?

  18. Yesterday there was a woman in a Mazda cx7 in the right lane traveling from a 80k zone into a 100k zone, I was behind her for awhile and she was not accelerating so I undertook her and boosted up to 100. After I undertook her she then decided to accelerate to what must have been 120k to catch and pass me only to slow right down to a crawl when we got to a transition back to 80k. I passed her again in the left lane (doing 80k) where she then immediately accelerated and sat beside me. we came up to a set of traffic lights and there were about 6 cars in the left lane and she was the only car in the right lane. After she had passed me and stopped at the red light, I changed lanes and came up behind her. She then put her car into reverse and moved backwards to within inches of the front of my car. I was like WTF are you doing you stupid bit@h. The light turned green and she just sat there in reverse, until after a few seconds she put it in drive and took off. I was trying very hard to figure out what I had done to piss her off to instigate the beginnings of a possible road rage incident. I figured that she must have been pissed off that I undertook her (I think I possibly spun the rear tyres and gave her a fright ) But really, WTF is wrong with people!

  21. It took me a while, but I eventually managed to re-assemble the Egas throttle body. The plastic end clips into the hole in the sidecover. The sidecover and throttle body. At the bottom of the sidecover (ie black plastic) you can see the cog that rotates the bigger cog (which rotates the butterfly). That small cog is connected to an electric motor, which is out of sight. I removed the outer cover on the sidecover to reveal the electric motor that runs it all. I tried rotating the small cog on the Tornado throttle body. Almost jammed up solid. The matching cog on the Egas throttle body rotated easily. Problem solved. Almost weeks of frustration and anger, all because one little electric motor had died. On the right is the Tornado throttle body. Water has gotten past the sidecover and corroded the electric motor shaft, jamming it up. On the left is the Egas throttle body, which has been untouched by water. You can see the difference. I was starting to feel just a tad more optimistic about things by now. So, for anyone getting P0121 or P0221 diagnostic trouble codes, have a got at replacing either the entire throttle body or just the sidecover (and electric motor) part. I’m guessing that the car computer is putting things together and they’re not adding up. The accelerator pedal is pressed downward a certain amount, but there isn’t the corresponding amount of movement in the throttle body butterfly (as measured by the throttle position sensor). The car computer decides that something isn’t right and the ETC (electronic throttle control) light appears on the dashboard. As I’ve had the same P0121 and P0221 error codes on my other Tornado (ie the green one that will be replacing this one), I’ll be pulling that throttle body apart in the near future and having a look. At least now I know how it all works, and what to look for. You can see the signs of previous moisture in the Tornado throttle body. I cleaned out what I could, but made extra sure that the cog teeth were clean to prevent future friction. Thanks to my practice with the Egas throttle body, it didn’t take long to re-assemble the Tornado throttle body. A close-up showing how the tabs on the plastic end fit into the slots in the sidecover. I also grabbed the plastic cap from the Egas throttle body. In case you hadn’t figured it out by now, this is what caused the problem. That cap was missing on the Tornado throttle body, and I’ve washed the engine bay several times this year. Water has gotten past that plastic end and into the throttle body area. That water has then corroded the shaft on the electric motor, seizing it up. I now know to check on every Falcon that I ever touch to make sure that there is a plastic cap on the side of the throttle body. The butterfly then rotated when pushed with my fingers. It was locked up solid before. The intake manifold, before putting the throttle body back in place. The gasket was still good. Having gotten so close to possibly having my car fixed, I wasn’t going to stuff it all up by dropping one of the bolts at the last minute. I used some needle-nose pliers to insert the bottom two bolts for the throttle body. I tightened up the four bolts and attached the two cables - one for the TPS and one for the throttle body electric motor. The butterfly still rotated when pushed with my fingers. I started the car… and sure enough, it idled perfectly. Fixed! I was ecstatic. After almost two weeks of frustration, I had this thing running properly again. And the solution didn’t cost a cent. Even better. I celebrated by heading into the city, sitting down at a 24 hour restaurant and writing all this stuff.

  22. First point of call for me are earphone thingamajig with the metal prong which will get you closer to where. Some good listening devices out there where you can position different place and switch between them. Second point of call is I start cutting observation holes in things like rocker cover, timing cover. Might make the noise easier to locate.
