The last weekend, replaced my intake manifolds with Needwings dual crossover black intakes and new lower Y pipe,new black dual induction, new plugs and leads and silver catch can all from Needswings Chris has been very helpful when ever needed and I recommend all these upgrades. My car had a bestoke cat-back SS exhaust sounded good but sounds even better know.

 

I have been shut down for couple of weeks waiting for parts but they have come in one by one nd I have installed the crank and cam sensor’s after the car just shut down, would turn over but not start, to no avail so got. New RCM and installed it and BINGO!!! That was the culprit. The car never threw a code!! Just shut down!! I will now send the old one to TIGHE in AZ to get repaired for a spare. Took it for a nice run of about 100 miles, it was a beautiful day!

 

Interesting, so you replaced the factory steering wheel with aftermarket? MOMO or something?
Which snap-off kit did you use. I've installed these into past cars, work great, however found once you add the thickness of the new Snap-off kit + Wheel boss adaptor, it brings the steering wheel much closer to you than standard. Did you find this to be the case in the Crossfire?

 

Cobra, just curious of how many miles on your car.

I'm sort of new at this Crossfire business and am learning about the things that will park the car so I know what to do if it happens. The RCM is a straight forward plug and play install?

Cheers.

 

It is - however you don't need to pay out for a new RCM. There are some solder points on the PCB that develop dry joints (top left corner). If you whip out the RCM and split the case open, its a 2 minute job.
The complete guide/instruction can be found on this Forum. Happened to me after about 3 weeks of ownership! Has been running sweet since the fix.

 

The RCM can also have failed or sticking relays.

 

Anyone know what all the relays in the RCM control ? .......also, are there other functions in the RCM besides relays ?

 

130,000],I have soldered the old rcm before

Your absolutely right

 

I was going to touch-up the interior vanilla paint on the car's driver-side Saturday, just as I had done on the passenger-side a week or 2 ago. However the entire day I was physically in the category of "what's wrong with me?". If like me you are knocking on the door of 60, you'll know that the status of "what's wrong with me?" is only one step below the category of "am I dying?", and thus it is not to be ignored! Today it seems I have recovered and so will attempt to proceed accordingly.

 

I know what you mean, I'm 76 and just washing the car or working on it can wipe me out but it also makes life more fulfilling

 

Hopefully your doing much better today! Unfortunately as you get older it isn’t any easier, I’m 70 which they say is the new 50!! We that is bull in my case!! At 50 i was in great shape at 70 not o much but still getting around and enjoying my crossfire and life!! So all good

 

For all of us older Crossfire owners who fix up and update our car, isn't it a shame we can't do the same thing with the wife ?

 

Your treading dangerous water!!hahaha you never know the gender of who is reading!!

 

Completely understand the feeling. (I’m 58) I’ve had both hips replaced (OA came on over night) in the last 12 months and can understand how you feel. In addition, I was feeling really run down, found out I was anemic and needed Iron.
Iron Supplements have corrected this. I hope all is well and you get through that “what’s wrong with me” phase

Go see your DR, It might save your life

 

Life is too short to worry about aches and pains. Nothing stops me from putting the top down and letting my thin hair blow in the wind.

 

You still have hair ?

 

I had my left hip replaced in, I think, 2016. Recovery from it was much easier than I thought it would be, but that was probably because I had been in so much pain BEFORE I HAD THE HIP REPLACED!

 

A real mechanic chews on a crankshaft to get his iron, not namby pampy pills.
You’re 58, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
