I'm Locked Out Of My Car! Door Locks No Worky

I went to take the Skyline (R33 S2) for a spin. I put the key in the lock and nothing! I couldn't get it unlocked. I went over to the passenger side and the same thing. I tried the boot and it opened no problems.

Have my locks been sabotaged or is my central locking (no remote) playing funny buggers???

What are my options? Any help would be appreciated.

Update. I just disconnected the battery to see if the locks were some how being held shut but no difference.

Have you got/had an after market alarm? If slave motors have been added to your doors this could be your problem if they have seized up or have a fault. If you have them and don't use keyless entry anymore you may be able to disconnect.

The locks should work even without the alarm ? Unless its been so long the lock barrel is crusted and won't turn or i think 1 lock actuator failed from siezing in my lifetime and it had sand and salt from no window seal mind you the rusted door bottom you could shoove a finger thru

actuators fail for these reasons , loose and rod sliding ,wired wrong, blown fuse, hitting something installed later like speakers or ? , door trim rubbing, on older cars like AU r31 the lock buttons get stuck , silicone spray fixed again for a year poor design, even relay failure is extremely low most of the time its due to crusty terminals not the relay itself

      @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.

      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.
