Hello everyone, I just got home after waiting 3 hours for a tow truck. I was driving along and my car just shut down. I still had headlights and dash lights.

It has no ignition or imobilzer, what does this sound like to you, i thought coil pack or ignition.

It runs a mirco tech lt-12 and has a MSD DIS4, would they maybe have some thing to do with it.

CHEERS.

Something like that happened to my colleague's car once, and it was the ECU. Doesn't sound very serious to me, as it's probably just an electrical thing. Good luck though ^_^

What car is it anyway?

Im hoping its not serious, Thanks.

its an R33.

I think its about time I got RACV extra care...

I joined over the phone with RACQ when i was on the side of raod. It cost me $153 for two years road side service and free tows or the other option was to get it towed for $120. So i took the $153 two year option.

So the road side service guy comes out and says or not this sushi crap, refering to my car,he didnt have a f*#ken clue what a MSD or microtech ecu was, he was saying you have power in your battery it should start, which was obvious as i had headlights, but no ignition.

So he calls a tow truck the tow truck turns up he says the cars to low and that he needs a special tow truck and that will cost me an extra $88 :P im like what, i just joined for $153 for the free tows with in ten kms.

In the end 3and half hours later :) ,another towie shows up from nowhere and says i wll tow it for $60, he starts pulling out these ramps, hooks up the car and im on the back of the the tray in 15mins with no damage to bodykit.

My experience with RACQ. SHIT CRAP INCOMPETENT. Thats my whinge.

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
