  1. I think you nailed that about the critters. I found the white wire with a nick in it and about 2" of the black wire was missing. Ordered a new connector. Don't see any other damage with a cursory inspection, but I'll know when I start it up again.
  2. Thanks. It does throw the code for the sensor. I charged the battery before i tried starting it. But i know it's still sketchy/not fully charging. I swear I disconnected it after parking it, but not. It does start barely, but it's running badly. It has a new battery now with same results.
  3. So I parked my 2005 OBXT for about 5 months while I drove my Saturn for the better gas mileage. Now after sitting for so long, it's pegging the coolant temp gauge after turning the key to the 'on' position. Could this be a ground or voltage issue? Or should I just go in and replace the sensor? If so, where is it located? I have my TMIC off and I can barely even see the crossover pipe. Thanks. Stephen
  4. I stuffed my head under the hood while my son was tapping the gas off idle and I could hear a pfft pfft pfft, each time he hit it. I found the TMIC to TB hose was a little loose at the TB end. That must be what the knock sensor is hearing. Each time throttle is added, a little boost leak. I didn't leak test with enough pressure to find it. I tightened it up as best I could and I got rid of 80-90% of the knock. I think it's a little crooked so I can't get it all the way on. So I'll have to pull it off and clock it, but it's definitely much better. And I haven't seen an over boost either since I tightened it either. Seems weird that boost leak could cause over boost. If it could.
  5. Thank you. I need to get this back to my tuner. Last night I saw boost as high as 18.9, with a target of 16.9. Not good, especially on a vf40:eek: I've seen target boost as high as 17.9, which is not supposed to be over 17.
  6. Oh shoot. Is this the right place for this?
  7. ...and I don't know why. I see its pretty lean and over-boosting when it started. Is that enough to cause it. It's extremely consistent and easily repeatable at will. Accelerating from cruise. My tuner isn't available until Monday. 2005 OBXT catless UP catted DP Mishimoto TMIC Cobb EBCS Dyno-tuned I feel like the car may have had boost leak when tuned, and now it's cleared up. I never found it, but my fuel learn changed when I realigned my TMIC. Here is a third gear pull. Any thoughts? Stephen BtSsm_20180126_155734_knock.csv
