[Silly Little Cars] '96 governor location

Tue Mar 5 13:10:29 PST 2013

The thin narrow trough of a box that houses the ECU.  It is in the engine
compartment against the cab "firewall" on mine.  If it runs 70+ either you
have the black wire incapacitated or that little screw has really been spun
up to increase the speed.  Shouldn't be running rough though with this as a
causal factor if it was done right.  When my mechanic tried to adjust the
screw, he said the thing ran tough.  So, I just disconnected the wire.

HI, Are you saying the recessed panel at the dashboard, where the fuses are
located or in the engine compartment?

Mine runs like one that has it unplugged, albiet goes 70+ just rough,
misfiring, etc.

I'm in NYC until Friday, I know it's a long shot but thought I'd see if
anyone here might have a Cush or interceptor or whatever that I could borrow
for
a few days? I can repay the favor with my interceptor when you come to San
Francisco....

Steve,
I too just remove the black wire from the terminal block and taped it.
I did this on my 96 and 04. No governor on either.
What I was talking about was just unplugging the governor box entirely at
the plug.
When I did that on both of mine, the ECU behaved badly. Weird idle,
stalling, injectors misfiring, etc..
Plugged them back up and problems when away. Unplug just the black wire
then, no governor nor ECU problems.
Also tried adjusting the speed via the governor, but opted for the
disconnect method instead.
Plus like I said, my info was based on a sample size of 2 (mine) and info
gleaned from the Internet and advice from other here at SLC.
Later ya?ll,
Mike

Interesting.  Unplugging it from the opposing terminal should have the same
electrical effect as cutting it.  I just took mine loose from its terminal
at the other end (away from the black box) and taped it up. Voila ? no
governor.  If you ever want to reconnect, just re-attach the black wire on
the terminal you took it off of and secure.  Again, mine is a 2004, so may
be there is something else involved with the older models, but you might
want to try the disconnect method first if you are timid about cutting it.
No harm.

Rich,

I have a 96 and it?s located behind the recessed panel that has the 2 screws
in it on the right side as your seated in the vehicle. The panel can only be
accessed from the outside with the door closed.

The governor is the black box that has a plug on it. The if you cut the
black wire it will disable the governor.

Be advised that just unplugging it will not work. Causes the ECU to act up.

If you cut the black wire be sure to do it in a way (place) it can be easily
repaired.

The black box has a screw on it that will allow you to adjust the speed to
what you want.

If memory serves me right:

One revolution (turn) clock-wise increases speed by 5 mph.

Set at factory for 40 mph.

Again this from working on my 96.

Hope this helps.

Later,

Mike

Can anyone tell me where the governor is on a '94 Westward and how to
deactivate or bypass it?
