Well I started up my call this morning. The RSM turned out an usualy. But the RPM on the monitor stayed at 2371?? Did not even fluctuate. It seemed frozen. But the Speed was working fine. Do I have a loose wire or something? Did a setting get locked?

 

Maybe the RPM wire fell off.

 

if thats the case shouldnt it be stuck at 0?
if its stuck on one number then its reading a fixed voltage which means it could be hitting something else?

 

Accidentally grounding?

 

yeah I would check for a short where you tapped into to get the RPM signal and all the connections from there to the RSM

 

Hopefully it's just a ground short or loose cable.. I'll have Jeff check it out this weekend when he's doing my stillen kit..
Thanks!

 

i think that would make it go back to 0 again

i think there is a loose wire somewhere and they are touching.

PCGuRu2K, did anything happen when you started noticing this, or was it just one time you started up the car and you saw it doing this.

 

The only wire that reads the ECU RPMs is the RPM wire from the RSM. If it's loose it should flutter and/or go to 0 since the voltage will be distorted.

 

yea see thats what im thinking, but its reading voltage from somewhere in order to read over 2k RPM's

it dun make no sense

 

all you have to do is move the directional arrow down and it will erase the frozen setting. the same thing happened to my rsm on my camry.it froze, so i did research and someone told me to mess around with the arrows while in the monitor Rpm mode.

hope this helps, it is NOT a bad connection if its the same thing that happened to me. it will erase itself an go back to 0 just mess around with the directional arrows.

 

This would make perfect sense if his other readings weren't working correctly. The RSM does have a peak hold.

 

But my speed, and l/r settings are 0. The RPM is the only one locked at like 2226.. It's not bold or anything. Will that arrow thing still work?

 

i thought it only holds the highest RPM recorded. so once he revs past that then it will change to the new highest, at least thats how my friends SAFC worked. if i remember correctly its the down arrow, the up arrow shows the highest and the left or right, dont remember, will reset the highest recorded valve. with the SAFC the highest valve is shown with a solid color behind the value, kinda like a bold.

try messing with the arrows and see if it helps.

 

WHEN THE HELL DID APEXI MAKE A REAR STRUT MOUNT FOR US..

How does your car handle with the APEXI RSM? Is it a rear strut mount with pillows/??
