ive never had the light on the dash and have twice had the pin under the empty line

pretty sure that the low fuel light is operated seperately to the dash gauge. as i said earlier, it generally comes on with around 10L left before empty, so if you have never gotten down to a point where it has taken over 55L to fill then you haven't gotten the tank low enough

correcto mutcho, when you pull the sender unit out you can see a switch thing on the very bottom of sender unit itself but it will only work if the float touches the switch on the unit. So if the sender is giving false readings saying your are empty (fuel gauge can be on 'E') but then the float will not be in contact with the switch on the assembely because you still have more fuel than what its showing on the gauge.

well im not sure what to say but the fact is that its the O2 sensor that causes poor economy, particularly if u are still getting poor economy when driving the car nicely.

They are less than $100 delivered from the business traders on here n u can change it yourself- peice of piss...

do you have an ECU you can tune with?

If not

I dare to to put a tank load of E85 in the car and run on the standard ECU....post video's for lulz

i dare him to put a tank of e85 in and then try to drive out of the driveway of the servo without needing a towtruck, LOL

fixed your post for lulz

=.=

Just an FYI, my search for a glaring face on the internet lead me to imgur.

From there I proceded to redit.

From there, I proceded to very random places.

And hour later, I had forgotten about this post until I was closing my tabs ><

    • 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.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
