Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

So asked a mechanic bout the flame popping he reckons it's fine and if I'm worried about the fuel and such take it to tuning shop and get them to look at the ecu history.

Used to have a few when i was younger as my mother loved cats. They do provide many WTF moments

I'm no cat person either. But as Scottie said they do provide fkn weird moments

I think it would be wise to see a tuna regarding this, as your exhaust flows more than b4 and ECU may need to be retooned.

Its only a stock ecu isn't it? All you can do to retune is unhook the battery and reset it.

Got Clint to reset it last weekend when we cleaned the AFM.

Time to buy aftermarket ECU or get a nistune man. either way it's about $1400 minimum

Not a big Nistune fan personally. I think if you are going for an aftermarket ECU its bets to get a new stand alone unit. Either Link/ViPec or Haltech

I fkn love cats!!!! Having a bad day give me a combination of cats, puppies and Charlie the unicorn and all is well in the world!!! I want my house so I can get a huge ass cat and 2 or 3 dogs!

    • This. The R34 handbrake icon DOES come up when the brake fluid level is low. You might be sitting right on that threshhold. I have been down this diagnosis path and this was the solution (and it was pretty much as full as your picture is to begin with).
    • Unfortunately the cavaet to that is that while any scan tool should be able to read the code, the workshop will need a consult plug to OBD socket adapter. You don't have a location on your profile, where are you based?
    • @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.
