fiatslug87 Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Nickintime has on his facebook page a "possible" relocation of the units display to the clock panel location, making it part of the panel, not a separate box.That's what I'm waiting for. My stock radio has a clock so I wouldn't mind losing the clock.
87MJTIM Posted January 23, 2017 Author Posted January 23, 2017 Kook911, I have one of those. too bulky to fit in the cab and too difficult to operate while driving. With Nick's REM tool, I can check systems while driving. But, still a good tool to have :thumbsup:
cruiser54 Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 Continued observations seem to show the O2 sensor maxes out at 4.95v, the Short term trim then rises to max at 255. Shortly after the ecu switches from closed to open and drops the Short term trim to base line at 128. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The O2 sensor should be switching VERY quickly from .1 to 4.9....... I have the DRB factory tester. If this $80 tool works, and I believe it does, it would be a boon to Renix owners. Anyone know what DRB stands for?
87MJTIM Posted January 23, 2017 Author Posted January 23, 2017 Cruiser, Nick's tool (REM) does seem to work. Yesterday, I plugged in the MT2500 and noted the readings on it. I then reconnected the REM tool and noted the readings on it. Good news: I got the same readings. On a bad note: My O2 sensor is reading a constant 4.98v and is in constant open loop, both MT2500 and REM :mad:

cruiser54 Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 Diagnostic Readout Box You win the internet cookie. We had one old service rep that called it the darby.......
Ωhm Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 How come there is no mention of the MS 1700 tester? Did they all end up in the trash?
DirtyComanche Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 How come there is no mention of the MS 1700 tester? Did they all end up in the trash? They still show up on ebay now and then. Personally I think for the price that this is a hell of a deal. I will not be permanently installing mine, as I have multiple Renix vehicles and see it more or less as a diagnostic tool than something to play with while driving.

cruiser54 Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Diagnostic Readout Box Okay Smartypants, do you remember the tool for cooling down and heating up the choke elements on the carbureted vehicles? Hooked to an air hose.
Ωhm Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Don't recall any name for the tool, but the principle was fast moving air over a venturi. Hooked up one way for hot, opposite way for cold. Just what is the name for that tool? At one time MS 1700 was the "King of the Hill". Must be dating myself now. Is this why I have all these pains?
fiatslug87 Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 ...do you remember the tool for cooling down and heating up the choke elements on the carbureted vehicles? Hooked to an air hose. Vortex gun?
Ωhm Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Vortex gun. Could have a winner here. Ohhh all this dust in my head now.
fiatslug87 Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 More specifically Ranque-Hilsch vortex tube.
cruiser54 Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 I always used the wife's hair dryer. How did you cool it?
cruiser54 Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 ...do you remember the tool for cooling down and heating up the choke elements on the carbureted vehicles? Hooked to an air hose. Vortex gun? Yep. One air hook up. Cold air shotout one side of it and hot air out the other.
HOrnbrod Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 I always used the wife's hair dryer. How did you cool it? It had a switch to turn off the heating element, very sophisticated. Heat it up, then cool it down while watching the choke plate.

HOrnbrod Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Meh, who needs it. Manual choke cables are much more dependable.
DirtyComanche Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Meh, who needs it. Manual choke cables are much more dependable. Ditching the carburtooter for something designed less than a century ago is the real answer. But yes, I'd rather a manual choke with a cable... But I guess a customer might not agree.
