Hey, well to my enjoyment, my car problems have come back. Just to recap, im getting an AFM problem. This is caused by either the ECU or the Loom connection. I got the ECU checked over today for any faulty circuits etc and it seems all the soldering is fine. This by all means doesnt mean that the ECU is fine thou, one of the chips could of burnt out or somethin. Anyway by being able to test another ECU, this will tell me if it is indeed my ECU which is faulty or the loom connection.

Anyhelp greatly appreciated hint hint steve :(

Thanks Dean

Yeah sorry Dean, I acutally gave my ECU away about 6 months ago to someone who was in a similar position to you :D

Have you had all the electrics checked out? Just ask because if something caused the ecu to choke, putting a new ecu in may result in the same problem. Seems pretty strange that something like an ecu would go tits up, as there are no moving parts and are pretty well protected where they live. You must be getting pretty frustrated by now, all this dicking around?

For a second hand stock ecu, you could perhaps try one of the shops around that deal in parts or get front cuts, ask them if you can try before you buy? Tuning shops might have them sitting around too, where I got my power fc fitted, they had like 1/2 dozen in a box from people that upgraded and didnt want them anymore - but that is in the west.

Sorry I cant be of more help

Hmm Daim, well i still think the problems in the loom. The reason why is if i take the ECU out of its mounting position, and place it at different angles, it works sometimes, like tonite, i was driving to town, at the petrol station i stopped at, i moved it into a different angle and it started to work for 10mins, then it went gay again. Also another really weird thing is if i press on the wiring loom at a certain postion about 2 cms from the center nut thing that holds it in, the engine dies. Like ill press it and instantaneously the engine will die just like turning it off.

Steve: Thanks matey, yeh this is gettin really annoying. Its strange how this has happened, and im betting its something really small. I cant see it being the ECU but i still have to make sure of it.

I dont know what else i can do.... Maybe i HAVE to take the car back to the auto elec :P

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
