you could just take the belt off the pulley too...
If you reset the ECU, won't that cause them to be "not ready"?
DO NOT keep resetting the ECU.
I thought of that too, but wouldn't the bypass still be functioning normally and trying to route the intake air thru the blower?
i forgot the d-series is the magnuson blower, i was picturing the eaton type. Well either way, iirc they're similar- on the back of the manifold there should be a vacuum valve that actuates a little arm, that arm controls the internal bypass valve going between the blower and manifold. You should be able to zip tie that arm up so it doesn't move.
if this fixes the prob you may be able to go back to running the FMU, just keep the hotter plugs in there and see what happens. if its still having the same issue you could probably try either running a heated secondary O2 or one of those O2 simulators(?)
also double check your ign timing, if its too far retarded that will make your cat run too cold which would cause the secondary "not ready" condition.
you have to drive the car ~ 200 miles to clear all the MIL status codes. DO NOT keep resetting the ECU.
i'm going through this right now with my mirage, but for other reasons.
That's what I thought when he was saying he kept resetting the ECU and it kept saying "not ready" :roll:
obd2 cars fucking suck.

oh holy shit bro that interior is fucking amazing...
now you got me seriously thinking of doing the same thing in my Si
anyhow, back ot- i haven't heard of this a whole lot on the P2P ecu's, but I know it was a fairly common thing for awhile on P2Es where the evap would go bad (short internally) and would consequently take out the evap circuit in the ecu. I have about 3-4 P2Es at my house with this problem, all from different cars. If you have access to an ecu even just to borrow, you might want to swap it and see if that clears it up
also, on the way to smog.. drive the car as hard as you can.. the hotter the cat the better..
