This is just a thread where people who have seen anything suspicious that could be related to vehicle thefts.

Things like where you may have been shopping and followed home.

Had people looking at their cars suspiciously.

Done things where people can get their address, anywhere that asks for a phone number - you can get an address from a phone number.

Anything you think relivent.

An example might be.......

I rang up and ordered a pizza, gave them my phone number. When we went to pick it up the guy was staring at the car, his expression worried me.(true story)

I just want to remind everyone not to use specifics, company names etc. As it could lead to defimation and so on and we don't want that on this site.

Before you post think it through, will it mean that you give away your vehicle's location during unattended periods, will it be hurtfull to businesses, will it help out the crims in anyway? Just remember that you have to assume they read these forums.

I think it will be best to keep any discussion to the privacy of PM

Cubes, mods etc. If you don't like this thread, feel free to delete it.

dan, u sure thats not cos of ya jap plates and straight pipes LOL

we have a german shepard that goes bunta at the slightest noise . cats or people going past if i suspected someone was in the yard near the cars i would let him loose . he has bailed up people be and ive called him off . mmm someone trying to get the cars i might be a little slow calling him back lol

Saturday night at 1:30am (got home from work about 45min's earlier) i was watching some TV in bed when i heard some car door open, which i thought was funny cos' i never heard a car pull up. I muted the TV and listened, i then heard 4 loud thuds at which point i jumped up and chucked some shoes on. As i leave my room i hear car doors close and i LOUD V8 drive away. I get out the front and some people had dumped what i though was big tubs of soil (at least 70 cm diameter) which i wasn't happy about (sick of dodgy shit happening). So i jump in my daily (5 litre fairlane) and try to follow the car just to get the plates. i couldn't find it though, i then rang the cops but they weren't interested.

The next morning i have a closer look and what they have dumped and it was the roots, soil and some stems from hydro weed (there were some little leaves still on the plants). The lazy buggers couldn't be stuffed dumping it in the hills so they dump it in the suburbs. If only i was 20 sec's quicker it would have back fired on them as i would have had their plates. Rang the cops again and they came and had a look but once again weren't interested. My brother came around later and found a couple J bags worth of buds which he kept for 'evidence'.

arrived home about 4am one wed nite

parked car as normal down driveway, which is about 20 m from front of house. cant c the car from street cos its dark that far in.

went inside stayed up till about 6am watching movie

my car is parked 2 m from where i was watching tv, alarmed.

sister woke up 630 to go to work sun was up around then.

i didnt go 2 my car till the afternoon when my sister got home n she told me som1 broke into her car last nite n stole her beanie but left everthing else.

im like wtf have a look, n they poped the driver lock n got in. thought nothing of it cos she left it on the street last nite.

so i go look at my car

and the bastards TRIED TO POP MY DRIVER DOOR LOCK TOO! but they didnt get in, just made a nice little hole on the side.

im suprised my shock sensor didnt feel them and beep, and i didnt hear them next 2 my window!

next few nites left golf club at front door and stayed up all nite haha. nothing.

    • @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.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
