I finally invested in a nice iron and it is definitely worth it. Fast heat up and holds the temperature well. I also bought 2 alligator clips and made a little bracket to bolt them to so they hold each side of the wires I'm soldering in place. I was resistant to buying flux until I tried it once and it makes soldering so much easier and cleaner.
Where are you grounding your LC-1? Sensor wire or running a wire to an ECU engine ground point? I'm getting a fair amount of oscillation from my sensor ground. |

I should trace it out. My buddy picked the grounding when we first installed the thing, because he was a pro mechanic for years and because I just stink at wiring and he had a good gun, but he is not around to help me anymore so now I'm piecing it together myself. I think whatever ground location he picked was fine as it used to work, it's only when I started getting my dumb ass in the mix and messing up the contact point of the multiple wires that things started to ass out. I'm starting to hate having a project car. I really liked having a race car, but now it feels much more like a project car. |
