Shure for earphones. I always thought sennheiser were a bit overpriced or over bassy. But still shit on Bose.

Start spending anything north of $200 for anything other than sound cancellation and MP3's dont so the headphones justice.

Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

who needs a Mic? you just plug your headphones in the mic jack

I remember plugging microphones into headphone jacks when I was younger...you did get a tiny bit of sound out of them

Hey guys, had some problems with the Evo over the past few days... can I bounce some ideas off you to help diagnose?

2 days ago the head unit (Aftermarket JVC Double Din Touch screen) just went blank and restarted as I was driving home.

1 day ago on my 50 minute drive home it happened 3-4 times, most of the time after I'd been sitting at a set of lights for a while, literally the second I let out of clutch and started moving forwards. So at this point I was thinking "Maybe a loose power connection at the back of the head unit?", but it always started back up immediately by itself.

This morning I was cruising along eastlink at a hundred, Head unit went off like all the times before but when it started up (and was playing the radio just fine), but there was a message on the screen saying "Power off unit". A few seconds after I noticed that the engine gave a shudder and lost power for a split second, a few reds came on the dash (engine shutdown) and then it restarted itself with momentum and being in gear. The Check engine light stayed on until I pulled over, turned the car off and back on. Drove fine with no loss of power for the remaining 20 minutes of the drive.

Head unit went off once more when I was pulling into the carpark at work.

Thoughts?

if I mysteriously go missing from the forums you know the Evo blew up

Son of a bitch, you shouldn't have said that!

first thought

bad earthing?

Where though, and why has it popped up only in the past few days?

Engine bay has a full high quality earthing kit which connects about 10 different places together, inc the battery itself.

Think I'll dig up the multimeter here at work and check battery and alternator voltages, though that'd surely show up with the battery light on the dash.

Perhaps an arc from a short made the ECU temporarily confused, or read the CAS wrong, and that caused a misfire or shutdown?

bolts come loose, just start checking connections.

after that check connections and current on alternator

then battery test

def sounds electrical tho

    • 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.
