4age 16v prob

[ozsprintz]

well i took my 86 down tho the efi guy and he is looking at it. he called me and said that he is finding error codes that refer to all my sensors but needs more time to work it out.
this i know is happening as i unplugged them all before i took it down(tps, tvis, air thermo, water thermo, coldstart, and injector time switch, and map.)even with them all off the engine start and wil run really rich.
i connect the map and the engine dies even with all the other sensors off.
when i have all the other sensors connected it does the same thing. and i tested the injectors and they stop firing,no pulse.
i havnt got a variable resistor installed.
i know that if you havnt grounded the ecu prop to the intake it will stop the injectors from pulsing too but i have that connected
my question is
1)do i need this variable resistor to some how get all the sensors working.
2)and the golden question "whats wrong with my wiring"
any help would be great

Hey mate, its Joel here.. I reckon you will find it cheaper/easier to source a AE82 bigport loom, including ECU & all sensors. Pick n pay at Blacktown usually have some of these out in the yard.

I paid a bit over $100 last time.. Going to be cheaper than auto elec shops diagnosing the problem!

Pretty sure variable resistor is for aus ae82 4ages only. Stop using ADM docs and use these. (http://www.club4ag.com/faq%20and%20tech_pages/ECU%20Japan%20AE86%204A-GE.htm)

your right joel taking it to an auto elec was a waste of money they didnt find anything. will try pick and payless again i went the other week to get map sensor.
thanx kane already got those it was just a wild guess about the variable resistor.
i am now getting a whole heap of error codes 2,3,5(i didnt know there was a 5)7 and 8.had a look at the igniter igt/e1 and when the map is connected i get no voltage when i try and start but when it is disconnected i get the right voltage and the engine starts.
