I guess everyone is hiding from the rain, parts of bowen hills and newstead are blocking up and covering the road

Yeah a bit shit today. We got shut down by the union at 10:30 for some reason. But now we've got night shift working lol. Excellent. In other news I put in my leave for Europe. 23/08 till the 1/10. So just over 5 weeks of holidays which will be awesome.

Couple of pants browning moments on the roads today. Wheel's locked up under breaking at one point, narrowly missed the car in front.

Rear end stepped out going around the big round about at Indooroopilly, corrected easily but shat myself when I realised that there was a cop right behind me.

Enjoying the awd subi at the moment.

Conditions are perfect for it

yep thats what they were made for. now imagine a bit of power under the right foot. mine is heaps of fun in the wet.

HAHAHAHAHAH COLIN!!!!!!

Thats why im still glad the 31 is running, saw a guy on a scooter this morning, he was loving the weather

yeh, would love a decently setup one for some awd drift

I will take you for a run in mine at some point then.

Creek infront of our place is about as high as i've seen it. And there's more rain coming.

(not to worry though, would need about 300mm in the entire catchment above it in an hour to get it up to our house)

edit: went for a walk for a few km down the creek. Down stream there's water flowing out of the sewer main manholes. Not cool. it can stop raining now before it backs up up here...

    • 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.
