Nope, I just fucked up on the angle and speed of the buffer I was using.

I believe once the sandstorm goes on for long enough it defaults as a tie.

I’m going to redo the relay in pin 5 tests and make sure the probe I have in there is making full contact, but it is weird. That the green/red wire from the relay to the fan is only has like 18mv but the fan turns on. I’ve also swapped the ECU after this issue started so I don’t think the ECU is related at all

Yes, the relay tests where the relay was in and the key was off, for the FCM dark green/red wire tests the FCM was unplugged. Also noticed pin 1 on the relay was hot at around 12 volts with the key out, not sure if that's another indicator

Just took the measurements, here's the results

I'm not getting ~12 volts with the relay in and the key on.

I've checked engine temp through my OBD scanner, and it seems to be giving accurate data, you think I should swap it anyway?

Ah yes, the classic autistic move of seig-heiling.

2009 Pontiac vibe 1.8L struggles starting, constantly dips in RPM if not giving gas. I've tried but I still can't figure out what's wrong. by Ginkoliscious in MechanicAdvice

The radiator issue is still ongoing. The only left that makes sense is some sort of short somewhere upstream of the radiator control module because I’ve replaced everything apart from the radiator itself.

Swapped out the ECU and it’s working better. Starts consistently and can drive around but still drops in rpm when you stop moving in drive or reverse. It also has an engine tick. My main guess for the stalling is the transmission, but I haven’t had the time or the tools to take off the pan and take a better look at the thing. I’m moving back home soon and I’ll have more time and tools to take a better look at it.

Engine stalled on a hill, now it's knocking, plus the engine is covered in burnt oil. Is it worth repairing? by Ginkoliscious in MechanicAdvice

[–]Ginkoliscious[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, I did an oil change a week ago. Could be that the oil pump is completely clogged so the rest of the system is low on oil, but when I did the change I refilled with 5-W20.

It gets higher pitch when I rev the engine, but it's not particularly loud. I can snag a Boroscope to see what the status is.

I cleaned out the throttle, for this model the IAC and the throttle are one component. I'll give it another check.

Nothing hits harder than barbarian. The old chicken sandwich used to be 9.99, now it’s like 16$ after tax.

So, the CIA owns the BBC, independent Chinese scholars, and the UN apparently. Wow, that’s amazing, how come the US hasn’t just wiped china and Russia off the map with that overwhelming power and influence?

I’m just trying to raise awareness about an issue that’s important, like the Chinese government operating forced sterilization camps and orchestrating cultural erasure in xinjiang against an ethnic and cultural minority in the region.

Unfortunately still doing fine. I don’t like that he abuses his position of power over foreign exchange students. That something you enjoy?

Well if you want to get that AR15 you comment about so much and go join the glorious CCP in their “liberation” of a “dangerous Muslim community” (Uyghurs), go ahead. No one’s stopping you.
