Hi all, car is FIXED! Just wanted to report back in case this info is helpful to anyone in the future... Brought it to the tuners and it turns out the tune data got corrupt. Can't remember the exact details, but it was something to do with a corrupt water temp correction map causing ignition timing to drop to negative 80 on load. It dynoed at around 100kw at the time. Values were fixed...somehow.. and its now back to normal! Root cause is uncertain but apparently he has seen 3 r33 gtst power fc tunes get corrupt like so. Am thinking the ungrounded coil packs as described above may have played a part as the problem only started after this. Anyway. Also, I took it to Powertune in Fairfield because I didn't want to risk driving all the way out to Hitman and I have to say the service was friendly & efficient. Work was promptly done and I don't believe I was overcharged for their time. Chea took his time to explain the issues and was happy to answer questions I had. Will go back again. Next, need to check PaulR33's power FC FAQ again, and see how I can make a backup of the tune in case I need to reset the thing. And thanks to everyone for their input and suggestions....appreciate it.

Hi all, Spent most of sat trying to find this leak. If it exists I can't find it. Tighened every clamp and took a few suspect pipes off just to re-sit and be sure. Nothing. Also changed the plugs again and taped up the coils. No difference. Want to think of other ideas but will not rule out air leak possibility either. Something new I noticed is that when I get sudden drop in power(when not on super light load) is that the ignition timing readout on the controller drops to zero. Lifting off, the timing goes back to something that resembles the actual timing map values. This also happens in neutral and giving the throttle a good jab. Thought the power fc wouldn't retard timing automatically like the standard Ecu. Sorry I forgot to mention that I did the plug change in the place was that my fuel economy was falling. Any ideas about this timing change on even light load? Tried searching this forum and google as well, can't find anything specific. Thanks

Checked vacuum lines, all in the right places. Tightened up every clamp, no splits. I can hear a small hiss now. But can't bloody find where it is. It's down near the turbo side. I have the engine fan and pod filter going at the same time it's quite hard to even tell if it's normal. Its not the pod sound, but I can hear a muffled down version thru the top intake pipe. Either way a leak somewhere i didnt touch shouldn't explain why this is suddenly happening. I'm starting to think it's got more to do with the plugs or coils. Are these plug compatible? Do they take more current to spark than the iridums? Both sets are 8mm gaps. Should I try a new set since these ones are now black already? What are your thoughts?

Hmm, it varies. Can start before hitting 0. Depends on volume of air coming in I suppose. The more air/boost the worst it gets. Stationary, out of gear it revs ok. In gear, hard to describe. Its sort of like revs fine until 'too much' air comes in then it feel like i've hit a brick wall. If i continue keeping accelerator pressed I will eventually get smoke out the back. Lifting off the pedal makes the car picks up speed for a split second. Ok, I'll check the hoses are not mixed and the actuator too, although I'm not going past 0.7bar so I'm assuming that its getting the correct vacuum feed. Thanks

Sorry, yes rb25det

Hi guys, Haven't been on here in a while, my car has been trouble free for so long. But here I am again needing some sound advice after a massive fail following what should have been a tedious but fairly straight forward spark plug change over the weekend. -Changed plugs. Went from Iridium BKR6EIX to copper BKR6EYA -Put all the intake pipes & hoses back together -Engine would not hold idle. I can hear all sorts of relays clicking on and off, revs were jumping from 800 to 0. Eventually stalls after about 5seconds. -Take all the piping & vacuum hoses off again. Found the ground wire to the coil pack rails or whatever you call it, had snapped off. -Regrounded it back and screwed it back on the last bolt of that coil pack holder thing(near the firewall), then put everything back together -Started car, idles fine. -went for a drive and Noticed the problem as soon boost is building on 1st. Its like hitting a wall the more you press the accelerator. I get a sudden increase in speed as I back off the pedal. Its almost as if the pedal turns into a brake pedal. This is only when boost is made. Cruising on very light load is ok, no problems. Then today; -Checked AFM connection. Unplugged it whilst started, car stalls. Started car with it unplugged, it idles. -Checked for vacuum leaks or loose pipping, and...I don't think there are any. Checked vacuum leaks with throttle body cleaner whilst on idle. No changes. Can't really hear any hissing noises either but its difficult with an exhaust. -Checked the coil packs to see if they were secured. They were. -Checked the plugs, all plugs were blackened apart from the very tip, even the white insulating part, assuming this would be expected from the massive over fueling (are they consider fouled now, or will they self clean so to speak?) -Put the same plugs back in (was iffy about this, was considering whether i should put the mostly worn iridiums back in, but I didnt) -Put everything back together, went for a drive. SAME SHIT. Really over it. Any suggestions on what I can check for? Please note, car was running fine prior to the plug change. Other info; -I can make full boost according to the gauge (0.7bar), unlike the instance where I had a loose cooler hose and the pressure would not reach the 0 mark. Does this rule out vacuum leak? -Have a power FC with controller. Any sensors checks to look out for? -Thinking, whether the ungrounded coils issue in the beginning, causing the engine to stall and relays flicking on n off could burn a fuse somewhere. And if yes, how would it cause this over fueling? -Could the above, somehow reset the power FC? -Have checked all connections nearby parts I had removed, and all seem connected. -I did remove the HKS BOV from the piping, thinking it would help get things off as I also have a strut brace in the way. Probably shouldn't have as there is a metal gasket. I did spray the throttle body cleaner around those joints, and no changes to idle. -Can the plugs get ruined in should a short amount of time? Idled for about 20mins all up, and drove for a 5mins all up. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The idle problems have gone now, but as stated in the 02 sensor thread, the sensor should have been changed a long time ago. What should I be looking for after I unplug it? Because idle is back to normal now. Do you mean, if its rooted and I unplug the sensor nothing would be changed? Is it weird to you that the 02H is constantly ON and does not turn off?

Hi The problem seems to come and go when it feel like it. Its been over 12 months since the last time I've had the problem. After my previous post I took the car out...and bloody hell...the problem is gone again. I did take note of the sensor check screen though. It seems when its back to normal: 02-1 voltage starts at 3.88v then gradually drops to 0.00 after 10-15 minutes, but the 02H is constantly ON right from the very beginning. Unlike when during the idle problems existed; 02H is OFF until 02-1 gets to 0.00 then idle starts hunting. Yeah I've read on the forums that 02-1 should be 0.00-1.00. It might be completely shagged as i've never changed it. But then again when I got it tuned, it wasn;t lean and I don't seem to have that bad of fuel economy. 400-450km per tank. Next time I get the problem I'll try unplugging the 02 sensor and see how that goes. But with the problems coming and going so quickly its a little hard to justify the reset and idle adjustment... Can you tell me what the 02H is? I've read on your guide its the 02 Heater Sensor Setter, just not sure what it does. Perhaps I can try and check if there is a wiring fault or short somewhere. Thanks for your help paulr33.

Not sure if I did it correctly, but I went to the function select screen and turned off O2 Feedback. Nothing changes.....

Hi, I'm having a very bad idle at the moment, been happening for 2 days now. Normally revs would sit at 700rmp ish. Injector Duty at 1.0% IgnTm at 15 Now when the idle problems started, revs would start at 1500rmp, Injector Duty at 2.2% and Igntm would be at about 22. O2H is off, O2-1 is about 3.88V. Then after a mintue or two the O2-1 reading would gradually fall to 0.00V and the O2H check turns ON (black). I noticed when the 02-1 gets to 0, revs will then suddenly drop to about 1000rmp, Injector Duty to 0% and Igntm around 15-17. This will just continue to cycle, taking about 2 seconds for the full cycle. So its extremely annoying and embarrassing, esp in peak hour traffic. The only thing that I can do to stop the rev hunting is to apply throttle keeping the revs above 1500rpm. Also, after turning off the car, I go into the check sensor screen and I notice the O2-1 reading gradually increases until its back to the 3-4V range. If I start the engine again and let it idle, the idle is still high and the O2-1 reading begins to fall, hits 0.00v then idle hunt begins again. It has happened in the past but usually goes away within a day, so I've never had the chance to take it back to the tuner to have a look. I've only noticed these figures today after driving around in the Check sensor screen. In the past I've tried cleaning the ACC valve, air flow meter, check for vacuum leaks, check sensor plugs around the throttle body etc, but guess it didn't help. Has anyone had this problem or know what I should be checking next? Tried searching the forums but its either fuel economy related issues or I just didn't understand some of the info. Any further info/help/ideas would be greaaaatly appreciated. Thank you....

Thank-you Beer Baron!!
