Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

My brother is a mechanic at Toyota, apparently it happens a lot there, people hear thier good reputation for reliability and decide that means they don't need servicing.
lol

Or

1. get a bottle of scotch

2. drink said scotch

3. promptly yell at the cause of BS

4. ......

5. ......

6. Profit? And no more BS

This would work except for the fact that I'm now in a management role and responsible for all my actions. I know how I would deal with the situation, unfortunately the new Managing Director doesn't like confrontation and hence he won't deal with shit until it's escalated. This is f**king frustrating especially when we have issues in the team that need to be dealt with NOW!

quick pointer Tony. Write all the issues you have identified in point form and date them. Keep a log of them and when the times come bring the log out and discuss the relevant issues at the time.

then you will have more weight when it comes to crunch time.

That does indeed sound like BS, whats the point of having a position where you have staff to manage if you are not allowed to manage them?

We live and breathe three simple principles: don't lie, don't cheat, don't steal.

I've been advised that someone here has been doing 2 of the 3. With normal issues, i can whip people into shape, when it's this serious, the big boss needs to step in. Only thing is, he won't. I've heard this from clients and candidates hence my concern....

Don't worry mate. Got a record here. ;)

venturing into the realms of politics there................keep your focus clear, just remember that whistle blowing also has its limitations mate.

When I say responsibility for the management of the team, you know what I mean and where I'm coming from.... It's our rep on the line. Recruiters are already treated as scum, don't need more negative attention./

    • 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.
    • 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.
