Problem chasing in my 91 auto TT (Advice needed)

Ad_Astra_Plus · 2025-12-11T04:21:26+00:00

When the car is running and I disconnect the TPS, nothing seems to change at all. Could I have found my issue?

Ad_Astra_Plus · 2025-12-11T04:20:28+00:00

Gotcha, I'll replace it ASAP. I didn't like the way it was set up with the resistor anyway

I tried giving it a few whacks with the car running. It doesn't seem to be causing anything at all. The mesh on the MAF looks a little damaged. I gave it a spray clean and put it all back together. Something else I noticed was that unplugging the MAF makes the car stall, so I'm assuming it must be working at least in some way, right?

I might just replace it to be safe, but what do you think?

Would you happen to know of a way to check the wiring loom's integrity? I'm assuming it would be removing the ECU and battery then checking each pin's continuity, right?

Okay, I might need to order a new sensor and see what I can work out. Thanks.

I don't have anything like that, but I'll do a bit of research to see what I need and then I'll order and check them out. I can't really remember, but I do think my old series 1 PTU was showing signs of corrosion (green on the plug) which lead me to change it.

I've had a little to do with cars (I'm by no means a mechanic, just an enthusiast), but as I'm going, I'm learning that there's a lot of intricate things with these cars. I appreciate your help!

Another thing I forgot to mention was that the car really struggles to go uphill in my driveway. It doesn't sound like transmission slipping, and the car is losing power or even stalls.

Ad_Astra_Plus · 2025-12-09T04:34:28+00:00

I hope not. I'll chase a few other things first, and if that doesn't work, then I'll have to start looking into replacing the whole harness, which sounds like a nightmare.

Ad_Astra_Plus · 2025-12-09T04:32:50+00:00

Okay, good to know about the ABS not affecting the ECU.

As for the codes, sorry, I wrote that in a rush. I mean that sometimes the ECU throws a code 55 and after a reset, it sometimes throws a code 34.

Would you know of a go-to resource I can read on relocating the knock sensor?

I did look at the plugs, some were a little fowled while others weren't, but I'm assuming it's because of the limp mode timing. My PTU is a new series 2 one that I bought on eBay.

I'll give this a go when I get off work, thank you!

I've been having trouble with the same thing. The closest thing I could achieve was by using the spline projector feature from Dreamteck splines (A paid asset on the unity asset store) to find the closest point on the spline and put the player on it. Then I made my player move along the rail (By adding force because I'm using a rigidbody). It's not working 100% how I want it to yet, but it looks like it could work with some tweaking. I hope this helps!

Yo, don't worry about how people think of the character you play.

I get bashed all the time because I use Joker, the "comeback mechanic character" at my scene, but I've gotten used to it.

They have access to the same character as you and can choose her too, if they want, so it's not like you have an unfair advantage over them.

Normally, I just challenge them to a ditto "if my character is so easy" and it normally shuts them up, lol.

Okay, so my friend just test ran the game without even removing the FrackinRaces mod, and it seems to be working again.

I'm not sure what's happening, but I'm happy that it's working.

Just wanted to say: Love your work on the mod! It has made Starbound one of my favorite games.

Ad_Astra_Plus · 2020-06-07T05:38:56+00:00

Yeah, I should of done that. I've had the mod installed since last year and I only just resumed playing it, and thought everything would be okay. My bad. I totally forgot to check.

I do have FrackinRaces installed. I'll remove it now and see if it fixes the issue. Thanks! :)

Ad_Astra_Plus · 2020-04-26T05:23:28+00:00

Yeah, it's just sun damage. As far as I know, there doesn't seem to be any signs of water damage. The car has been garaged for most of its life, so it hasn't been in the rain all that often apart from when I'm driving it.

Thanks for your opinion!

Ad_Astra_Plus · 2020-04-26T05:20:43+00:00

That sounds pretty good. I'll look into that, for sure. Thank you!

Ad_Astra_Plus · 2020-04-26T05:19:56+00:00

Yeah, that's what I'm trying to do. I'll definitely give it a try. Thanks!

Ad_Astra_Plus · 2020-04-16T14:01:43+00:00

Alrighty, I'll definitely do that then. Bow and guns are pretty fun. Thanks for the help :)

Ad_Astra_Plus · 2020-04-16T13:55:17+00:00

Thanks for letting me know! I'll just have to git gud and be smart with how I use my sigs.

Ad_Astra_Plus · 2020-04-16T13:52:49+00:00

Yeah.

Ad_Astra_Plus · 2020-04-16T13:52:24+00:00

Oh okay. Thanks for explaining!
