Email I have about the show this year:

With around two months to the greatest spring car show in Canberra, it’s time for participants to register their interest.

We’re looking forward to a great year – it’s 60 years since the mighty Morris Minor was born, the home-grown Holden emerged, that stalwart Land Rover pushed the boundaries and the first Honda hit the ground.

But Marques is more than that, it’s a free-for-all great big show and shine for anyone with a set of wheels, either standard or modified, to join in.

We want as many as are rolling to meet at the Floriade car park on Barrine Drive near the Commonwealth Avenue bridge for a cruise to John Knight Memorial Park in Belconnen.

Then, we’ll disperse around the park and enjoy a motoring extravaganza.

(If you have a static display we’d like to see you too!)

All the usual catering and trade stalls will be there, so bring the family, friends or just come on your own – we’ll look forward to a great day out.

Marques in the Park is supported by Shannons Insurance, and SOS Recruitment as major sponsors and assisted by Injektd, Elite Car Sound and Vision and Green Light Mortgages.

Support those who support your passion!

We’ve attached a jpg of the Marques 08 flyer and poster. We have hard copies available, so if you would like further promotional material drop us an email at [email protected] or give Geoff a call on 6296 2442.

To help us allocate appropriate space for you and your friends, call us, drop us an email or a line at the above address.

Marques in the Park is organised by the Canberra Region Morris Minor Club of behalf of the Council of ACT Motor Clubs.

Look forward to seeing you there on Sunday, 23 November 2008, from 8 am and then at John Knight Memorial Park for a relaxed day on the shores of Lake Gininderra.

Cheers,

Canberra Region Morris Minor Club

Ok so I have a bunch of guys from www.auszcar.com in canberra wanting to go, we were thinking of getting our own area, but it would be a lot easier if we tagged on to here, any objections or anything? Would most likely be around 5 cars.

the two dr30's maybe three will be there and I have done some changes to mine so looking forward to it

and this time I hope eveyone meets some where first and all cruizes in together.

    • 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.
    • 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.
