Update--same results from servo
Reply #27 –
I tested it today with BOTH connectors removed from the amp. I got the same results, so engine speed increase. After I shut the engine off I tried it to listen for anything important and sure enough, there was a tap/click from the servo (I removed the splashguard today), like tapping a screwdriver on hard thick plastic, when 145 was connected to ground.
One thing I noticed with the guard removed, was that there was a vacuum hose going from the back of the servo to a oval rubber grommet (NOT the one leading into the engine bay this one went straight back, and the hood release cable was in this grommet too). And, two inches from where the hose went into the grommet, it was bent at a 90 deg angle! So, I replaced it with some new hose. Didnt make any difference but it aint supposed to be like that! So that wasnt a waste or anything.
One thing that was interesting was after doing the test with the engine running, I shut it off, then, when I went to remove the wire I had going from 144 to the pos. terminal on the battery, when I did I heard a mild air rushing/sucking noise from the servo. I have no idea what this means. Is my servo bad?
It seems like there are problems with the buttons/slip rings. How can I clean them up or whatever I have to do? They are hard to get to. Should I remove the steering wheel?
I'll do that too, but if the servo is bad too I want to know so I can replace that, get the splashguard fully fastened back in place and not have to go in there anymore.
Thanks for everything so far!
