Subject: Re: My dealer hasn't got a clue, can you help? ('97 9000 Aero, Manual)


the pressure transducer or MAP sensor. It is on the RHS firewall. It is a small rectangular piece bolted to the false bulkhead and has a small silicone tube connecting it to the intake manifold. As I understand it, the BPCV on these cars is a dual acting solenoid valve. It probably fails mostly in a mechanical mode and does not seal in one direction or the other. Electrically, it would be pretty much work or not work. and I would think it would show some sort of odd behavior at acceleration less than WOT as well (wavering boost, lagging accel, delayed boost, etc.) I am just musing here, keep that in mind. I have the trionic engine control manual for a 96-98 NG900 which is similar but not exactly like the 9k. I do not think that this manual is much more than U$20.00 and is available from the dealer. Basic system operation is all controlled by the ECU (spark timing, boost, fuel injection). It does not have an Air mass meter, but uses a Manifold Absolute Pressure transducer, air temp sensor, throttle position and a lot of math to determine fuel delivery and boost limitation. You say that the the ECU and BPCV have been replaced... The wiring is 3 simple wires from the ECU to the BPCV. I think it is also 3 wires to the MAP sensor as well. You could always pin them out to check for continuity and ground. good luck and keep us posted.
