[alfa] L-Jet V6 ECU mods, round 3, Joe loses

[Joe Elliott <jee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I made my third attempt at changing the value of R106 (this time I 
made it very small, but nonzero) to eliminate the GTV-6 rev limiter. 
And the car ran like crap, so I'm seemingly modifying the wrong 
resistor.  When I set R106 to zero, it wouldn't start, so I tried 
(roughly) halving it instead.  Car ran (seemingly) fine, but the 
6400RPM limiter was still there.  So this time I put a 470 ohm 
resistor in parallel with the existing ones.  The car started and 
idled okay (it's hard to tell because my car idles so poorly when 
it's cold anyway), and revved okay, but the throttle response seemed 
a bit off.  I tried driving around the block, and it seemed like the 
engine was being switched on and off periodically.  The frequency 
reminded me of that at which the oxygen sensor feedback cycles, but 
that couldn't be related to what happened because I had the TPS 
shorted to force the ECU to run open-loop to eliminate that variable. 
So if anyone knows which resitor *actually* imposes the rev limit in 
the GTV-6 ECU, please let me know.
