Seems Mark had car problems....there were people working around the back of the car...though in the final minutes they seemed to think Webber was happy to sit out the session...Quali will be so interesting...wet and Renault look strong and so close amongst Webber, Vettel, Alonso, Massa, Hamilton and Kubz....lets hope Webber can get teh job done in the wet and Kubisa and Massa are in teh mix with Vettel and Alonso.

How good was that? Would so love to see Williams win a GP, but being a dry race think he will be aiming for a podium. Hopefully Webber can do a Hamilton from the second row and by the end of the first lap its Webber 1 and Hamo 2 with the Germans bashing into each other seeing who is the superior specimen of the superior race :devil:

The tyre gamble really paid off for Williams. It's not like they're in the running for either title, so why not have a crack. Better than yet another RBR whitewash.

Any one who put down a random lobster or pineapple with a sportsbetting agency on -that- Q3 outcome is laughing their arse off right now.

Button is being humbled by Hamilton.

Button is looking more like the McLaren version of Massa.

The Williams apparently looked good in P3 but would you have guessed that Hulkenberg would out qualify Ruben in Brazil unless you were an optimistic family member?

Teh, Button is making himself look pretty ordinary. How many times this year has he missed Q3? Also, he is at sea when it comes to car setup and getting it to work. Makes you think last year that if a more versatile driver was in his seat, whether there would have been far more podiums in the back half of the season. My money is on Rosberg woudl have made him look average as well.

But, the Hulk has made it pretty clear from Monza and a few other moments this year that he is a competitive little bugger so expect there to be all sorts of chaos in th efirst few laps. Hamo will be right in there with nothing to lose....Webber and Vettel tip toeing around not trying to lose wings etc...Hamo and Nico can afford to take the piss a little....so should be an entertaining race...shame about feeling shit on Monday because of no sleep

Must say, I think we all witnessed a very special moment from this season with the Incredible Hulk's pole... I would've bet my house on Rubens out qualifying the mini-kraut. But hey, strange things happen in this wonderful sport, and what a way to throw the championship contest in the air?? Koob, Rubens, all in the mix.. Btw I think Baron Von Doorcloser is finding his feet finally, anyone take notice of how quick he was in marginal conditions on the inters? Good to see him a few position ahead of Rosberg (for his sake, cause I'm a Nico fan too). In all fairness to Nicros, I think he got baulked, but its been a promising last few showings by MSC, lets hope he can bag some points..

I think Gonzo was lucky to get P5, but I get the feeling tonight's race is not going to be at all usual, BRING IT! Just hope the chin can get a solid podium if not a win..

Btw, my cousin's mate put $15 on a Williams pole, the cnut would be laughing right now....

I agree on the Button thing, he's looking more and more ordinary with every race, here was me thinking in the middle of the season he was right in the mix, I really can't believe how much, and how quickly, he has fallen away. He just doesn't seem at one with the car, and if I was him I'd be a little concerned. Not a good look for Jenson.

    • 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.
