1995 mustang gt wont hold idle?
Hi, this question is for knowledgeable mustang mechanics. My friend has a 95 5.0 motor installed into a 1996 v6 body mustang. The car will not hold an idle. I did a diagnostic and it got a code 111 system pass so that is good. Next i checked the IAC with a multimeter and it is within range 0.01. It seemed a little dirty so we cleaned it out with carb cleaner and it still no change. Spark plugs are new, cap, rotor, and wires are also. Tried to check the timing but the car would not idle long enough to properly time but i did notice that the timing marks were not visible when trying to do this. ? they are there just seemed like they were on the bottom of the crank pulley when trying to do this. Does not make any sense what so ever. I was maybe thinking the distributor might be on wrong. The next thing we were going to try was to pull out spark 1 and bring it to top dead center and readjust the distributor and rotate it until the rotor is pointing toward number 1 spark plug. When out for a drive the car rides fine and has plenty of power and torque but dies when you come to a full stop. Let me know what you think.

Renault Espace diesel with very low power?

Renault Espace diesel with very low power?
I have a renault espace 2.2 diesel T reg (99) the first problem is that its really sluggish i was driving down the road one day and suddenly it had lost power and now it dosent seem to pick up any power at all you can put your foot down and nothing at all iv been told it could be one of several things, MAF, MAP sensor, ECU any expert opinions on what to check? and what readings should i expect on a multimeter from sensors if i can use one?
the second problem is that the coolant light is on as if its empty but the thing is full…
not sure if the problems could be related in any way?
any help would be great, thanks

Series Circuit Question?

Series Circuit Question?
I have been trying this question for some time now and I don’t think there is a way to answer it, but I could be mistaken. Here is the question word for word,
“When an ammeter A is added to a circuit to measure the current its acts as a series resistor
of resistance R. The circuit of Figure 3 consists of a 6.0V supply of negligible internal resistance
connected to two equal resistors and the 0-100 mA ammeter A.
a) Write down the total resistance in the circuit:
(i)before, and (ii) after the ammeter is added
b) Show that the current before the ammeter is added is 30mA
c) The ammeter reads 20mA when it is in the circuit. Calculate its resistance R
d) A perfect ammenter shouldn’t alter the current it is measuring. Suggest the best value
of the resistance R to make the ammeter perfect. ”
I think the course I am on assumes that the circuit is a DC power supply. The only answer that really stumps me is the very first question.
I have the answers but I want to know the intermediate steps to the answer. The answers are for the questions are: ” 4 a) i) 200 ohms ii) 200ohms + R c) 100ohms d) infinite”
As I said I only really need help on the first part but thought you might need the whole question.
Thank you very much in advance.
EDIT: I feel like a donkey’s arse, you are totally right Figure 3 does show the circuit, and shows the resistors with 100ohms, I suppose my brain is slowing down. Thanks for all your help
Calculating error in Physics lab report?

Calculating error in Physics lab report?
I’m handing this report in a few hours and there’s a little detail I want to sort out. We did the Franck-Hertz experiment about atom excitement, and gathered data of accelerating voltage and anodic current. Then I put the data in a diagram, which naturally shows curves that go up and then down (kind of like sinusoid, but it’s not a sine function). The diagram was current with respect to voltage. We were asked to find the distances between the local minima (in volts) and then their mean and error.
The error on our experimental voltmeter was +/- 0.1 V. I can easily find the mean, but I’m not confident about it’s error… So should I use this error of the voltmeter (which makes sense, since the mean is 5 Volts and the energy of the first excited state of Hg -which is what we want to find- is 4.9 eV) or should I use some kind of error propagation (which in turn doesn’t make sense, since I don’t have any function but a mean).
Thank you!

What happens to the voltmeter when the lamp is unscrewed in a circuit?
by Jessica on Dec.07, 2011, under Multimeter
What happens to the voltmeter when the lamp is unscrewed in a circuit?
Like in a normal circuit with a:
Batt, Lamp, Switch, ammeter, and a Voltmeter.
And another question:
What’s the relationship between the Potential Difference (voltmeter) and the bulb’s brightness?
Please answer this ASAP!
I need this quick!!
Thanks! (:
Oh yeah, I also meant the voltmeter is parallel to the lamp.
