If its an oldish tracking/gps alarm, then there is nothing you can do ...

Version 3 backwards quicktrack tend to drain the battery within a week or two ... not 2 days ... Version 4 quicktrack onwards is good with battery power ...

Even still, tracking alarm or not, it should take more than 2 days to drain the battery ... are there any interior/boot lights that may be on when closing door or the door/boot closure sensor/button may be stuffed?

Do you have a big audio setup or tend to use a lot of ampage from the battery whilst driving the car? Might be an alternator issues whereby its not charging the battery fast enuf as you are expending the power ...

Or if you just wired up an electrical gizzmo like audio, might be draining the battery from that - incorrect wiring not turning off when ignition is off?

And lastly, if all of the above is fine, change batteries to an extra heavy duty Century battery .. ive had battery issues before with a few cars, changed to century - never looked back =D

well seems like everyone is coming up with all different sort of advice

rather than guessing and wondering....lets start by testing with the multimeter if the Alternator is charging FIRST.

because if your gonna ask them to replace another battery...they could say your alternator is not charging it.

here is a simple guideline:

1) Start Car and run at a normal idle.

2) Connect a multimeter Directly Across the battery Terminals.

3) Turn on Headlights to High Beam.

4) check the battery Voltage.

The Battery voltage Should read between about 13.8 to 14.2 volts. (Possibly up to 14.5 Volts.)

5) Increase motor speed to about 1500 RPM. The Alternator should now produce a battery voltage between 14.2 and 14.6

Volts.

note: If it is Lower than 14.2 volts, the Alternator probably has one or more Bad Diodes.

6) Now, Maintain the 1500 RPM and Turn off the Headlights. Run this test for One Full Minute.

"The Battery Voltage should NEVER Exceed about 14.8 Volts".

note:If it Does, the Alternators Voltage Regulator is probably Faulty, OVER CHARGING the Battery.

anyways......let us know if you have troubles understanding this and ill run you through it

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
