Woman set on fire during surgery

Happy John :D

Fire, solves everything.

fix it... making brain hurt

I say, old chaps, I do appear to be suffering some minor homosexual tendencies when posting on this fine forum. My browser of choice is the fabled Internet Explorer but alas, when I submit a post it appears not once, but twice! It's just not cricket.

Stoopid pintaras...

Got home from work yesterday and noticed my brake lights were stuck on :D. Don't know when it started, but presumably it was yesterday sometime or my battery would have been flat yesterday morning.

Fortunately, all the inconsiderate, uneducated, and generally incompetent drivers of Brisbane somehow managed to avoid running up my a*se despite having no indication of when I was stopping :bigthumb:. Good job, team!

So I got out my multimeter ready for some HK electrical diagnosis. After doing some Houdini tricks I managed to unplug the switch that triggers off the brake pedal. Lights go out. Then I used a bit of wire to bridge the contacts, lights come back on. That settles it then: the switch is faulty. Out I go to the ute, perform some even more impressive Houdini tricks (since it is parked beside the house and you can’t open the driver’s door) and manage to get the switch out of it. Back to the coupe, but as I go to remove the switch from it, I notice that there is a hole in the brake pedal where it should be triggering the switch. So basically, the pedal is not actually pressing on the switch. Well that explains it, there’s obviously meant to be something in that hole. I found half a dozen pieces of rubber in the foot well that almost re-assemble to form a rubber stopper. That would be it! BACK to the ute now, more Houdini tricks to remove that rubber stopper this time, then again to put it into the coupe. Fixed!

Profit.

Im here ... Does that count or have I been kicked out for my lack of presence at the BnR meets :)

No, but if you don't start turning up again soon you will be! :D

Good morning!

mang.

    • This. The R34 handbrake icon DOES come up when the brake fluid level is low. You might be sitting right on that threshhold. I have been down this diagnosis path and this was the solution (and it was pretty much as full as your picture is to begin with).
    • Unfortunately the cavaet to that is that while any scan tool should be able to read the code, the workshop will need a consult plug to OBD socket adapter. You don't have a location on your profile, where are you based?
    • @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.
