they didn't all come standard with ABS.. thank god!!<p> :p

why is it not compatible with your ATX?

as some of you may know, I had a 2.5 V6 installed in my 30X (MX-3) recently.. this is not an issue.. (well.. some who know me know that it in fact is, but anyhoo.. )<p>ok.. my problem is that it is often VERY hard to get my car to go into 1st gear.. and sometimes 2nd and other gears as well.. <p ...

with the oil cap off, my experience is that the car won't even start.. too large a vacuum leak.. <p>let us know how you go!!

check your intake hose.. (the one that is ribbed.. for her pleasure hehe.. )<p>it will probably have a hairline crack in it that opens up when it gets warm.. also, when reversing the engine probably moved slightly and caused the crack to open up more...<p>to check.. the best way is to warm up your ...

J-spec K8? I knew of no such thing.. ??<p>why did you have to get a new engine?

from my investigations.. the simple explanation is this.. <p>the things that determine what ECU you require are your VAF, and your IM (VRIS points)...<p>KL36/31 ECU + ZE IM + JE50 VAF = good A/F, good VRIS.
KL36/31 ECU + ZE IM + KL02 VAF = bad A/F, good VRIS.
KL36/31 ECU + DE IM + JE50 VAF = bad ...

Just for the record, is that KL02 VAF a typo for KL03 VAF? (Meaning KLDE?) <hr></blockquote><p>no.. the serial number on the VAF for the KLDE (03) is KL02 ..

- KL36/KL31 ECU (for the ZE) needs to be matched with the JE50 VAF.. (from the MX-3)<p>- KL03(DE) ECU (unsure of part number) needs to be matched with the KL02 VAF..

this is a differert STB.. but this page may help.. <p>http://members.optushome.com.au/eunosads/rstb.html<p>@ds

very nice indeed.. hahha.. <p>have you had any favourable answers to your question yet?

that is correct from my understanding Ian.. <p>the ECU and the sensors go hand in hand.. as does the ECU and wiring harness.. as does the wiring harness and sensors.. <p>so.. if you want VAF, you need VAF ECU, VAF wiring harness.. and guess what.. a VAF sensor!!<p>same goes for MAF.. you need MAF ...

the reason you get such a pronounced "kick" of power at 4-4500 revs is because of the VRIS system on our engines.. do a search for it for more info.. <p>the only reason I could think that it would differ depending on how old your engine is may be because the VRIS shutter/actuator "sticks" and doesn ...
