nite mikey

yeh erin its not so much the start that worries me..im usually stuffed when i get home its just who i work with...

The joys of a new job :rant: Even I htought to myself "have I done the right thing, i hate this place" in the second day of my new job, but I knew this move was for the best in many ways. Money, Happiness, workload, Sinbad's benefit. But for you, you've got like a double wammy, no family, no familiar surroundings, your totally out of your comfort zone in a new house and a new job. At least give it a month and then decide :)

I hated who I worked with in my last job but I stuck it out for 8 months to see if it would improve, but I just wasn't strong enough to do it anymore. You could cut the air with a knife some days. It was shocking

I don't miss the people I work with at all. To be honest, my last job was just something to put me in to permanent work. Before that i was a temp getting extended for 3 months at a time. I did that for 3 years and just wanted a permanent job that I knew would be there tomorrow for me.

I know this new job is the best thing that could happen. Only bad thing is, I actually have to do work to get my money now. Sucks :rant: Before hand I just did a bit of data entry and sat on a phone. Now theres like deadlines and monthly reports and marketing and rosters and payroll and log books and training and the list goes on!

yeah but you enjoy this job more erin so its all worth it.

im a contractor so some weeks i work 32 hours and other weeks i work 44 hour weeks,it depends thats the only part that i dont like about my job, but 32 hours a week is still plenty to live on

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
