any ideas. On motor way put foot down to over take a moron,

light comes on pull over, growling noise no oil pressure. No smoke etc. . .

carl

He was a moron because ????? he was driving on the freeway ??? or he is responsible for your oil light coming on. ???? please tick the correct answer.

hmmmm.....this is very helpful... :)

well,....the reason he is a moron is as follows....

in the uk we have 3 lanes

1st lane is for slow moving vehicles ie lorries, cars towing trailers/caravans

2nd lane is for over taking said vehicles.

3rd lane is only used if absolutely needed

he was in 2nd lane, and driving slower than the minimum speed limit, and there was no vehicles in the "slow lane"

hence,...he was a moron....

so, now i ve answered your question, maybe you can answer mine....

carl

oil pump could be gone or on its way out but usually they dont go for any reason

sorry cant help u out much

does the oil pressure rise when u slowly rev the engine?

what does it sit at idle? and when going?>

usually from what ive heard the gauge isnt very accurate but the oil pressure light is so if that come on than theres a problem

oil pressure release valve in the collar.

in the collar????

from what i can see from the technical diagrams ive looked at, this magical collar i keep hearing so much about, is an "add on" for the gtr32 crank....and if this is what you mean, it doesnt have a pressure spring

i havent had chance to look at it yet, but the chances are the oil pump has sheared the outer gear teeth, and pump has stopped,..

hence absolutely no oil pressure at all...

    • @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.
