if you were outside driving you probably wouldnt feel it... dont think it was big enough.

the only time i experienced an earthquake while driving (being driven) was in NZ and the roads started rolling like a wave, was pretty awesome as a kid, would probably shit a brick if it happened to me now

If you can get to it http://www.seis.com.au/EQ/Earthquakes.html - i believe its already on there. Was only in the 2.x range so not that bad. To make roads move it has to be in the 4.x mark from memory

D'oh - can't get onto website. I guess too many people visiting.

Had a quick look at the Richter scaling on wikipedia. It's interesting that they grade it a 2 something, as from the description (indoor items rattling, etc) it sounds more like a low 4?? Maybe seis have their own grading protocol.

Felt it in Bentleigh. Thought my BBQ was blowing up. Then ran to check the dorrs. Thought someone was shaking the house. Looking back I feel like a goose! haha

Friends in Caulfield, Ringwood and Pakenham felt it. Friends in Werribee didn't.

hahha possums.

my wife rang her mum before and asked if she felt it... her reply was "what? of course, i had it with my coffee"

silly old wog.

thought she was calling at 9pm to see if she ate her cake lol

she didnt even notice (Noble Park)... even her brother just thought a truck was going past the house.

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • 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.
