worknlikeadog Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I called several places today to price a IAC and a purge control solenoid and everyone told me I couldn't by it. I don't wanna go through a steelership to get these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dbrisky Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I think I have an IAC in my bin of parts from my 96 legacy, it is used. PM me if your interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TbirdMan Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 yeah, other than used, alot of those parts are dealer items, though the dealer prices are not too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osei Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 yeah, other than used, alot of those parts are dealer items, though the dealer prices are not too bad.  on some things yes, but other than used you can only get a purge control valve from the dealer($120!!!! from my dealer, but cheaper on line). I'm still fighting with a purge issue. You should be getting 12V from the line and the unit should have @ a 40 ohm resistance. Check this before replacing. Also check that the lines to it are free of leaks. If your purge is mounted on the strut mount, check the sensor to it's left. Should have 5V.  I've been advised to wire a 33-40 ohm5 watt resistor into the circuit and see if code returns after clearing. I'm just having a hard time finding any resistors from 15-40 ohms. Local radio shack doesn't have. On the morrow, I'm putting 4 10's in series, to see if it works. If so, I'll find the right values somewhere. O.

I Donated broknindarkagain Posted August 10, 2011 I Donated Share Posted August 10, 2011 I dont think 4 10ohms in series will work. That will just give you 10 ohms at the end of the chain I believe -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

Osei Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 If you put them in series the resistances will add. Just been avoiding this for the bundle it'll make, but since it's only to see if it'll work, I'm going to do it. O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TbirdMan Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 yes, in series Rt=R1+R2+R3... parallel it is 1/Rt=1/R1+1/R2+1/R3... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reuben Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 This will get frowns from you guys, but, I religiously turff my purge control solenoids. They brake often, the little nipples get britle and snap. When that happens, poof, out comes the whole system, charcoal cannister and all. Sure i get the odd smell of fuel every now and then, but I just have the hose for it dump down by the chassis rail, no risk in that setup, and it saves a bunch of useless crap from the engine bay, and a bunch of dollars chasing something we don't need. I leave the solenoid plugged in, so it doesn't pull a code btw this might not be enough for silly ol OBD-II though, in which case just get the code cleared from the computer.

TbirdMan Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 yeah, OBD-II will set a code if you don't have the gas cap on right, I would think it will notice the system missing unless you put dummy sensors in place. and Reuben, just curious, how hard is it to get the clear sedan corners in NZ? I have been trying to source some but they are hard to find at a reasonable price, and when you do find them they tend to try to sell you the center garnish for the sedan which doesn't fit right on USDM cars. I had a buddy in AUS say he was gonna check some wreckers but never got back to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated broknindarkagain Posted August 11, 2011 I Donated Share Posted August 11, 2011 look on ebay -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

TbirdMan Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 yeah, there is one set on there for $190, which isn't too bad, but probibly won't be there when i have the $$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated broknindarkagain Posted August 11, 2011 I Donated Share Posted August 11, 2011 They always pop up on ebay. They are never really cheap though. Save your money and set it aside....then someday a set will surface and you will have ht emoney to buy it as soon as it does -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

Reuben Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 tbird, JDM don't have corner lights on BD/BG's, they use a one piece headlight instead, so you're best bet is to just go full hog and get some projectors. Unless you meant "TAIL" lights. Yes I can souce some clear tail lights for you, but it'll be around $300USD all up. Best bet is always ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TbirdMan Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 thanks, yeah i meant the tail corners, was mostly just curious. I guess ill just keep an eye on ebay when i get the cash. My ultimate plan is to have JDM tails with animated LED inserts similar to this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reuben Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 What's wrong with factory JDM? Honestly.... Don't bother mate, will just make yourself look like a twat with something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TbirdMan Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 nothing wrong with the factory lights really, I just want to add a custom touch, and would like the challenge of making my own circuit. once complete it will look factory from the outside, until you turn the signals on. not sure how that makes me look like a "twat". it isn't as if i am putting ricer "euro" or "altezza" style lights on.
