Hey guys,

My big order from Japan just arrived! So I'll be looking to get most parts on the car tonight.

Quick question though, how do I go about the rear tail lights? the corners look rather straight forward but the centre piece are interesting. Is there any way to completely remove the carpet on the rear hatch to access the tail lights? or do I just have to bend it up and work with the room given?

Thanks guys!

Adam.

When I changed mine I just bent the carpet up. Pain in the arse to work with, but it worked. Didn't damage the carpet or anything either. I couldnt see how to completely remove the carpet when i did mine, but I didn't spend too much time looking for it either.

Watch out for the sticky black shit around the lights lol, it sticks to everything

Remove the light grey plastic surround around the brake light (pop two coers off undo screws and yank it off)

Remove the grey plastic trim around the rear windscreen, its all got those interior clips so a solid pull will do it.

Remove the rear handle in the carpet trim in the actual tailgate it self (just clips out)

remove all of those plastic screw things from the trim and bobs your uncle!

    • 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.
