Ok, here's the problem. The metal and plastic panels on my car seem to be magnetic. Other cars seem to be attracted to them, leaving nasty ass paint swaps and scoring. Over the past 2 months I have had 3 of 4 corners done no matter where/how I park. This has led me to believe that my hairy crotch has generated static electricity on the drivers seat which has in turn created a magnetic field around the car. Was thinking that maybe if I slide out of the passenger seat then maybe it will reverse the polarity of the field.

Any suggestions?

I guess another way would be to move out of this crappy town (coffs harbour) to somewhere that people have respect for other cars. :D

You mentioned Coffs Harbour, if you do your research you will find that coffs is exactly opposite the burmuda triangle but instead of airplanes and such, it is intelligence that disappears plus the fact that is in NSW means theres not much of that stuff around anyway.

Try installing a flux capacitor and the dole office, they dont shit where they eat!

Hahaha roflmao. Where the hell am I going to get plutonium from? Is there any way to generate 121 gigawatts to run the flux capacitor? Maybe I can create something to convert distilled Coffs wanker juice into electricity. Hmmmm... something to ponder. Or I could even put a sign on the car advertising a job. That should repel those bastards!!

I have a spare lightning rod if you need to make 121 gigawats..

or you could rice it up with spinners and big stupid stickers so people will always be pointing and laughing at it bringing its presence to the attention of all those without brains that were previously attracted to it

BRAINWAVE!!! I can just wrap the car in foam! Why didn't I think of that earlier?? Keep an eye out for a burgundy skyline with mums old sofa cushions strapped to it. Now thats a DIY job! Might spraypaint some skull and crossbones and maybe some fully sick flames in fully bright red on it.

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
