Hahaha my missus yells at my mates when they do stupid stuff in my car she knows will annoy me. She knows I'm too polite to say anything haha

Me, exactly but I don't have a missus to tell them off ahaha..

People who eat in your car and say they won't spill anything.. They do.

When you try to merge onto the highway and no one lets you in

Braking extremely hard when they see a speed camera even though they were at the right speed limit

Just general observations of peoples behavior, with all sorts of cars including their own. Doesn't happen to my cars very often thankfully... But I expect it from non car people so I try to avoid having them anywhere near LOL

People who drive at night with their rear fog lights on when it's not even foggy.

Yep, probably 3/4 of all of those ugly blobby Hyundai Excel drivers did this back in the day. Thankfully it doesn't happen anywhere near as often now, at least from what I've witnessed.

Apparently it's illegal now and cops fine you for incorrect use of fog lights :S

Glad to see my taxpayer dollars are helping tackle the big issues...

Just thought of my actual biggest hate ever, but this won't be common to everyone.

I hate people who, when I'm giving them a lift open up their cigarette pack and get a smoke out without asking. My dad does every time I give him a lift. I don't smoke and I don't want my car to smell like a dodgy pub.

Don't just assume you can smoke in other people's cars guys

More hates of mine:

Treating the car as a trash dump. Shoes, towels, gym gear, socks, drink cans, maccas wrappers, pubes, boogers, sneeze, baby puke, spilt and dried up drinks, and the awesome smells that inevitably turn up after a few days in the sun

People driving without tshirts or singlets and the seats absorbing all the sweat, BO and human slime

People who don't bother to avoid large potholes or slow down for speed humps and just crash over whatever is in front of them, then complain about rattles

Touch parkers with tow bars that put huge dents or holes into the number plate or the front bar of the car behind

People who keep mashing the gas or the brake while driving at constant speed

People who get all road-ragey at you when THEY'RE the one in the wrong. Like the guy who felt the need to gesture out the window and swerve all over the road and point at the speed camera because I dared to come up behind him doing 80 in a 80 zone. He was doing 60. And no I didn't tailgate or anything.

Nothing makes me want to ram someone off the road, grab them by the throat, and explain to them why they're a f**kwit more. If I was the violent type. Which I'm not :P

yeah, only 80....

in a skyline.

farken hooooon :P

People who don't learn how to reverse park their over sized suv/4wd, take freakin ages doing it and still fail to park properly.

People who don't wave after you've given them space to change lanes, pull out of driveways, side streets, etc in traffic. Unappreciative twats.

People who always drive slowly into the Harbour tunnel then speed up. What's changed? it's still the same damn speed limit inside and out.

People doing under the speed limit in a T2 lane with no passengers in peak traffic, never get out of the lane.

Brake happy people tapping the pedal every 3 seconds. How about just taking your foot off the accelerator.

People sitting in your blindspot constantly when merging into a 1 lane, clearly knowing they have to back off so you can merge, but decide to at the last second within inches.

    • @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.
    • 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.
