It may have a stuffed plate or two if its dented badly enough.

My battery that was leaking was bloated also. Zero overcharging and usual engine bay temps. Its suspected it may have been dropped prior to purchase.

So maybe the mechanics not to blame? Was fine before i went there tho. This sux going from a swanky engine bay to one like my toyota corona ( giv or take a little ). Be good if they were at fault just so i can have things fixed, will be seeing him sometime this week. He still thinks its the alternator!

Well for those of you who are interested, i saw my mechanic and he denied topping the battery up. My alternator was fine aswell. I then went to a battery mob and he confirmed that the battery was overfilled! Causing the battery to swell when its trying to gas and then spurting acid out of the breather holes!! So i bought a new battery and has been fine since. Not sure what to do now bout the mess its left my engine bay and front bar in? The mechanic's just going to deny topping it up again! Any suggestions????????????

Ring the mechanic and tell him what the battery bloke has said.

Then state you won't be taking your car back to him and will be suggesting to every one you know not to take it there either.

Here Here, I do agree, unfortunatly there is not much that can be done about it unless you can prove they did fill it up! looks like your gonna need to re paint yourself bro! :laugh:

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
