ok so on the way home from tafe my car shat itself,

stuck on the side of the road with hundreds of cars flying past (no one stopped and helped me, the dogs...and i got laughed at by a wannabe WRX full of P platers)

i found the problem my intercooler pipe running to the intake had come loose, so my car was going into R&R, anyways i fixed it and drove home pumping unburnt fuel, when i got home i reset the ecu the way SK said to in the O2 sensor thread, no more black smoke.

just wondering if this would have set the ecu back to preset defaults or to the way it was tuned last. Should i get it retuned?

also should i look at changing the o2 sensor because of all the black smoke it was pumping out?

just hook up the pipe again

disconnect the battery, pump the brakes/turn the headlights on, remove all the power from the ecu.

unplug the ecu and leave for 20 minutes

replug it all back up, ecu first, the battery

dont worry about the o2 sensor, it will be fine. might want to change it anyway though.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
