really, really, really, really, really hope so mate. Ive been really depressed with it all lately :/

Its getting there man, it really is. When you build something you spend the first few months just going through it finding the weakest link all the time. Its better to find an ECU issue now than find it halfway up a hill in the middle of no where!

I know everyone who hasn't gone through a major exercise is always on you case about when you will get it back and how you should have it back and this makes you feel like the whole thing is a disaster....but builds gonna be bitches like this and to me its all gone pretty much to the recipe! All you can do is laugh (and cry a little), and know it will be good in the end.

Whats not to like, I earn money, no managers in today, I have field work later so the day will go fast, I get to put in my overtime forms earning me a few hundred more dollars. Beats sitting at home being unuseful!

See Monday is the day I have painful people to deal with and painful stuff to do and almost guarentee something goes wrong on a Monday!

I have the chilliest day today. It's a beautiful day, I get paid and I get to work on the river. Best Monday ever!! Ohh also got to see the sunrise, that's was pretty wicked

If I had a day like that I would like it

This is true. Better to get the ECU sorted out now as you said.

Hopefully Haltech get back to EFI soon, but I have a feeling that this is going to take quiet some time........................and even then................................. who knows what there gonna say (thats what worries me most)

Friday is my shite day, some times literally, if it can go wrong it will go wrong on a Friday.

Yeah it is a bit of a worry but hopefully its just a firmware update and away you go

Friday is generally pretty cruisy for me but if something chooses to be painful it is insanely painful!

    • The attached document is fine. I just downloaded & opened it.
    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
