# I'm not sure if it's the real Consult... but -->

In Reply to: If in fact it's a consult(it could be a Snap on), You can do alot. ie.. pulse injectors, read resistance on the injectors etc....-> posted by Jeff92se on June 27, 2002 at 17:45:28:

All my friend said is that his mechanic teacher/close friend has a $2000 (I sensed some exageration) device that you can plug in to almost any car's ECU. It will tell you ignition timing, and stuff. That's all he said. And he said the word consult. Also, he said that this thing can read out a long report about everything. I said, "Dude, when can you get it?". He said he might be able to get it next week.

Oh yeah, I want to find out exactly what's wrong with my slow VE. I've talked to other people with VE's and they don't feel as much of a HP loss as I do.

Also, how much do yall think you lose when the good ol' VE heats up? 1/4 time that is. I'm losing 8 tenths. Just give me an idea of what everybody else's VE is doing.

: I think you can turn stuff off/on too. Try to get as much info as you can. Pretty rare opportunity if it's consult. Consult time is like $70. Maybe run it while it's fairly cold to see what the ignition is doing and when it's hot and bothered :)

: Good luck and we expect a full report young man!

:
: : : If that equipment is good enough. Verify that the timing is being pulled back more than necessary. If yes, then start checking the sensors that would affect such a thing. ie.. coolant temp sensor, detonation sensor, maf, o2 sensor, we have barometric sensors?, etc....

: :
: : : : I am sick of this and I want to fix it. I ran a 15.44 w/ 2.41 60' last week at the drag strip. After I ran that time, I let my engine warm all the way up and did two more runs. 16.24@86.73 w/ 2.52 60' and then a 16.16@86.85 w/2.51 60'. That's almost 8 tenths of a second off my 1/4 mile time. And one full tenth off my 60' time.

: : : : Can some people chime in to tell me exactly what sensors can be bad that could cause me to lose this much power? My VTC's are ticking very slightly only some of the time. Also, please tell me how to test different sensors to see if they have gone bad. And what else could be contributing to this problem? I have a 92 SE Auto w/ 115K miles w/ HAI, Y, UDP, adv timing w/ 93 octane. Thanks.

: : : : Oh, also, my friend mechanic is going to bring home this VERY expensive computer device that hooks up to my ECU and it will give you a read out of what is wrong. I think it's a Consult device. Will this tell me which sensors are causing my loss in power?
