Might the system still work if it is "released" that way?
Yes. However, if the gears are hanging up the stepper motor, this says 'out of spec' when the motor sort of hangs up within so many milliseconds. Seconds wise, you see it on the dash within that time. Because this telemetry works in milli's on the K-skid, or sensor failure, it's not about to kick in within a second that the back end is coming around or the front end is lofted about to flip over within a second, right?
Sync wise, you just use only two hoses for the 1-2 and 3-4, meaning, use any two combos of 1 and 3 to sync both banks, or 2 and 4 to sync both shafts that have the blades machined on the one shaft. It's not like they are 4 independent blades you sync up.
So air screw wise, you close down the 4 air screws, sync the two shafts first. Then hook up the other 2 hoses, open the air screws a 1/4 turn, start the bike and sync the air screws with the sync tool. Want to run richer, turn the air screws down to 1/8th turn out and sync the screws = Balance for smooth running. Of course the book won't tell you this, because it uses vac off the throttle body to run emissions. Some of those air screws are closed down... Wink-Wink,
Subthrottle wise, with sub-blades installed, the engine runs smoother.
Subthrottle blade wise, the engine does not know if the subs are in play or not. Only the intake air pressure sensor knows for sure, meaning, it's an air gate are the subs. Without the subs in place, the IAP sensor's vacuum on the wafer calls the shot on the fuel demand... no subs needed either way.
What pops a code:
1. Wire out of connector.
2. Connector not connected.
3. Sensor out of spec/short to ground.
So we choose; sensor out of spec. Can't be a short to ground or it would blow a fuse.
Does the ECU go to backup and save the engine from damage? Yes. So you sort of neutered the FULL Power Potential of the bike when [certain] codes popup.
