It can also be bench tested! |

Did you read the OP's post about the vacuum ports being plugged ? Would you know if that requires tweaking the ECU to compensate ? |

Besides, vacuum leaks are rare on the 911 3.2. If a vacuum leak is of concern, one can always carefully use carb cleaner to find a leak. Quote:

I’m totally with you guys. Going to be putting the ECU into a known running car tomorrow.
After that I’ll be moving on to testing the fuel system. I appreciate all the help! |

For kicks, I also tried the AFM at a few different spring settings to see what would happen. There was no change. I think I can rule that out as a primary suspect.

Please, check the fuel pressure is responding to vacuum. Ever since you said engine revs don't momentarily respond to lifting the oil cap, all roads point to that. Even if there are other problems, you'll never get them fixed until you've got the fuel pressure adjustment working.
The vacuum lines smelling of fuel is a red flag for a leaking diaphragm. Try plugging them so fuel can't travel down them to the throttle body. Ideally you will have an AFR meter when you do so. See if plugging them leans out the mixture. The modded chip probably worked fine when installed into a fully working system, else it would have been swapped back out for the original.

You need to try to understand how an EFI engine operates. NOT GOOD! |

Fuel actually in the vacuum line is a problem. |
911 3.2 ('84-'89) Basic Troubleshooting A Running Problem
1. With Key-Off - DME ECM disconnected a. check for ground on pins; 2, 5, 16, 17, 19 b. check for ground on pin 3 with throttle at full open 2. With Key-On and engine not running and cold - DME ECM connected a. check for 12V on pins; 1, 14, 15, 18, 20, 35 b. check for about 5V on pin 9 c. check AFM input pin 7 for about .80V to 4.7V, idle to throttle at full open d. check O2 input pin 24 for about .50V e. check temp sensor input pin 13 for greater than 1.5V 3. With engine running and warm at idle; a. check fuel pressure; 30-35 psi (DME relay output pin 20 < 1.5V) b. check AFM pin 7 for about .80V to 1.2V c. check temp sensor pin 13 for less than 1.0V d. check pin 24 (O2 sensor input) for a varying signal (.30 - .80 volts) Note: All test points are on the DME ECM 35 pin connector, back-probing with the connector shell removed or with a breakout box. |
Went over to my buddies house today and tested out both my ECU and Relay on his car. Everything worked perfectly fine. Looks like I can rule those two out.
I do still want to check the fuel pressure, but I’m still a bit suspicious of the ICV. I know it worked when I bench tested it, It opened and closes when I apply a 9v battery to it, but I don’t suspect it was returning to a neutral position. |

Of all of the problems you state in post #1, only one relates to a ICV; Quote:

a. all ground tests pass b. Seems to be grounded at both full throttle and off throttle 1. With Key-On and engine not running and cold a. All connections read 12v b. pin 9, 0 reading (also checked at the AFM harness and there did not appear to be power making it to the AFM) c. pin 7, 0 reading d. pin 24, 0 reading e. pin 13, 0 reading Looks to me like there may be a wiring problem. The shop who installed the motor did the wiring, so I need to research where power should be coming from for the AFM. |

1. You're missing the ECU AFM power 9 output. Without this, there's no output on pin 7 to the ECU and no fuel mixture data. It's the KEY input to the ECU for proper running. 2. Pin 24 is the O2 sensor input. You may have a Euro ECU w/o O2. 3. Pin 13 is the temp sensor input. If pin 13 reads zero volts when the sensor is disconnected, then it's shorted to ground. This will make cold starting very difficult. Nice work. |

1. Does power for the AFM come from the ECU? If so, my test would read zero because the tests were performed at the ECU harness connector. I want to connect the harness the ECU and test for power at the AFM connector. 3. For the CHT should I also be testing for ohms or just voltage? |
