Ok guys had an issue where jumper leads were placed on my gtr the wrong way round...

blew the power fc up.

melted a wire pretty bad at the positive terminal, replaced

now the power fc has been repaired and it seems all the settings and tune are still in the ecu, but now the car will just not run smooth through the rev range. it will idle but as soon as you try and rev through the rev range it just misses and is undrivable.

changed plugs

coilpacks

ignitor

i will be spending the morning diagnosing but if someone has any suggestions or has had this happen before i would love to hear them.

car is a r32 gtr/ to4z all the goodies

thankyou

is there any chance that you might of knocked a inter-cooler pipe off and now have an air leak?? are you able to check the simple things like if your getting a good steady voltage and the afr's? maybe try swapping afms or swapping power fc's with someone else and sticking in your tune?

ok just pulled the power fc out and put the standard ecu in.. revs freely through the rev range

plug the power fc in and back to lumpy/missing running throughout the rev range

sensor check has ecc

if it drives good with the standard ecu in then maybe the power fc is f**ked

i wouldnt conclude that all tho it is a possibility, the standard ecu can run on less power and voltage, and can generally keep things running when somethings not working right.. whereas the car will play up with the power fc.. i had a melted wire in my car and was causing my tacho to play up with the power fc, but would run fine with the standard ecu.. post a help section in ur local state thread for someone with a power fc and datalogit.. so you can switch power fcs n tunes..

Does the stock ECU have a power save mode like my laptop? Lol....

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
