I have O2 feedback on (pfc) and it cycles between 14.1-15.7afr when cruising, and yes i can feel the change in the "beat" of the engine similar to what Hanaldo is describing, and it clearly goes in time to when the gauge cycles from lean to rich and back

Sometimes it is worse than others but it is noticeable....never paid attention to when it is worse so i dont know if its related to operating temp but i'll monitor it now to see

Either way I just thought that it was normal due to the engine getting varying amts of fuel from being in closed loop as my O2 sensors voltage looks good and cycles as normal .........it does not do it if I turn off O2 feedback

hmmm..not connected as in not wired?

Effectively, yes. The sensor itself is still in the dump pipe, but the harness has been unplugged. When connected it gives a lot of trouble, made it impossible to tune.

Well then there is no possible way of the ecu seeing a voltage input so I cant think of any reason why the afr would cycle... just saying even if O2 feedback was indeed on and seeing erratic readings from the dud sensor when in closed loop

Sounds like you have similar symptoms but a different issue

It is not unknown for the wire that powers the heater in the O2 sensor to melt through and short the signal wire. You shoud check that loom from end to end to see if it good or bad. I can imagine it possibly feeding voltage or short to ground to the ECU if there is something wrong and seriously messing with the feedback.

      Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.

      The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?

      Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
