OKRX-7

So I did the seq simp setup the other day and while I had the top end off doing so I went ahead and threw in 1/2w 330ohm resistors fired her up and here is what the CEL told me:

30 - Solenoid Valve - Split Air Bypass
33 - Solenoid Valve - Port Air Bypass
34 - Solenoid Valve - Idle Speed Control
38 - Solenoid Valve - Accel Warmup
39 - Solenoid Valve - Relief 2

Which are the 5 items I put a resistor in!

Now to be absolutely positive, I cleared the ECU and fired it up again, same codes. It was pretty straight forward I crimped the ends of the resistors with spade connectors and plugged them in then tapped them up nicely.

All of the searching I have done has said that the 1/2w 330ohm resistors are the ones that work.

Can anyone give me any advice here?

Thanks,
Kyle

This is what I did instead. Works good for CA smog. I can do this mod for a small fee...

No, I will switching to a PFC in the near future, I just want the CEL's to be gone for now.

Okay, need to update this and bump it back.

So I was getting the CEL's with resistors in place of the solenoids, well today I took off my UIM and put the solenoids in and reset the ECU and I still get the same CEL's with the solenoids in, I reset the ECU 3 times to verify this.

Anyone have a clue as to why this would be happening? I was thinking maybe a fault with a common wire, but none of the turbo control system solenoids throw a CEL and I thought they were all on the same leg.

Thanks in Advance,
Kyle

maybe you got the wrong resistors, maybe you did a crappy job st the solder or how you installed them. check the install

He mentioned that he stuck the solenoids back in and still had the same codes... something to mention, how did you reset the ECU?

I had the same issue but never got to trouble shoot it, I assumed mine had to do with poor contact to the resistors...

I diconnected the batter and held down the brake. I was able to clear one cell so I know that much worked, but the solenoid ones still come back.

Anyone on the daytime crew have any ideas?

If no one has any ideas, are there any downsides to running the car with these CEL's present?
