And I am twice his age lol I could be his father tho I doubt one of my offspring would turn out that ugly :(

The club has certainly benefited from his input, well most of the time anyway you whore you

hey all...

thanks for the best wishes!

best wknd i've had in ages.

Jess & I headed for coast friday middayish and spent the whole wknd down there stayin at Q1.

Ended up hittin the pool for the majority of the afternoon after settling in and then went to infinity friday night. was pretty good, nothing to complain about.

then headed over to Spacewalker for dinner and had a drink which I ended up gettin a bit sick from (bailey's is not a choice for me to have now).

Ended up headin back to the appartment around 11ish and just passed out. Got up at 9am sat and headed for the pool and then made plans which consisted of going for a 3-4hr drive in total to ipswich to pickup shane.

got back to the coast and then headed out for the afternoon of what was left and went to spacewalker. went into 2 of the options provided. started falling asleep in the 1st one but not quite fully asleep... 2nd option we choose consisted of actually layin on the ground while watchin a tv mounted to the roof.... here i actually fully fell asleep while layin down.

then headed over to hogs breath for dinner.... pretty good steak, pitty jess sent her's back twice and still got it wrong which consisted of them cookin up a 2nd one for her.

then headed back to the apartment (myself, jess & shane) and at around 9 mike joined us and got completely plasted by drinkin our way through the night. I managed to actually out drink everyone (surprise to me considering i rarely ever drink) but was the first to actually pass out at 11ish.

mike and i decided to head down to the pool (while plasted at 10 at night). was tryin to swip the card to let us in but the gate wouldnt work... a few randoms came up behind us and i said it wasn't lettin us in. one of the guys in the group just ended up walkin through the gate as the glass pane was missing. gave them and us a bit of a laugh.

then headed for the gym room around the pool to which, needed a swip pass and that didnt work. was tryin to get into that and only to see after 2mins of tryin to get in, the other door to the room was actually open already. lol

got up to the gym room, i jumped on the bikes in there and rode 3k's.

yesterday consisted of a full day at dreamworld!

so, overall, best wknd i've had in ages!!!!

thanks mike, shane, marc & karen for coming yesterday!!!!

    • 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.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
