Yes, that's a Nissan 240sx with a Pontiac TransAm front end. I was at the event and it was nuts.

I have two 91 SS. One is rio red One is winestone red. Both are 91 pre facelift. The winestone was bought brand new from the dealer and owned by one woman untill she sold it to me for 500 bucks. The dealer invoice has $18,437 on it, and states that the color is winestone red.
Kickin' it old-school.

That is just a possiblity, not the definite cause of your problem.

I will be in Portland at Dale's shop on Saturday, if you want me to check the wiring.

sure that would be awesome. i my self dont have the wiring diagram for the unit and electric systems are my weak point in automotive.

seeing that dave never picks up his phone to help me out, my car has had this problem ever sense it was installed. plus my AVO boost cut defender is not working ether. he installed it near the ecu in my car. it was in his car originally, but installed in the engine bay and work perfectly. i would be more then happy to stop by the shop. if you would like i can even grab some brews for the group.

Sounds good...

I bought an HKS fuel cut defencer, and it isn't working either...and it is hooked up properly...


I can show you how to set up a bleeder fcd in the meantime...they work pretty well...I ran one up until 1.5 months ago...and Devan also has one

Nice! ya i dont understand why it isn't workin. i think its wired off the pp6 and sense i have the bridge on there it turns the information back to the ecu. i dont think he hooked it on the same wires for the MAP senser. that would explain why its not workin for my car. or maybe it just shit it self and quit workin.
