man thats epic, way to run a business!

With all that bad spelling, it would be interesting to see his invoices and orders lol. Certainly not going to be going there anytime soon :D

Yeah. Mine too.

It's gone massive. I've got threats, Twitter is going mental, and the guy has destroyed his business except within his circle.

To say it's a mess is an understatement. But if my Stag goes missing, I know where to look :thumbsup:

link to twitter please

link to twitter please

Someone started a #sidewaysautomotive hash tag. But most of it has gone on within #sminoz

So Aus social media are checking it out.

It's just been tweeted by 27bslash6, who has over 100,000 followers.

And the owner of the business may want to kill me... All he's said so far is that he'll find me.

not as ruined as his name

:rofl: too true.

Yeah. Mine too.

I couldnt believe how he just kept digging, and making the matter worse!

GPS tracking NAO!

And then I get great random messages like this:

Just a random...

Saw you comments on the SideWays Automotive page and the thread gave a me giggle. Nice work. Have a nice day. :)

And Adrian, yeah you're right, and instead of deleting the comments and/or dealing with the issue, they decided to abuse all and sundry, and as they abused one person, 10 joined in, and word spread. They did a great job at making sure it spread like wildfire, turning into a case study on how not to deal with customers.

I'm not joking. I've had media inquiries, and I've been asked to write an article on it.

    • 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.
