Just had car fully checked and everything seems fine from spark to fuel.

Until I checked to see my power fc inside and looked like this.

Car is still hunting bad on idle and wont drive past 2500/3000rpm and runs pretty horrible with no power.

Most likely this is the cause as have changed just about everything.

Would anyone let me borrow for 5 minutes there power fc to test so I no for sure it is the problem, but I guess it still needs replacing by the looks of it lol

What do you guys think.

Holy Shit, I'm suprised it's driveable at all

Yes I'd say that is your problem. Do you recall anything that may have done this (bridging plugs etc)? Probably just the Power FC crying enough over age but if it could be something that has caused it on your car, then you need to fix that before replacing the ECU or it will happen again

I bought it few years ago and it had water in it and didn't no much then and as when I hooked it up it made a choooof sound and smoke came out and didn't make much of it back then so really forgot about it.

It ran ok till now but I just bought a adaptronic ecu all hooked up with a tune in it similar to my set up and still done it and I found the problem injector 5.

As soon as I disconnect it does nothing in engine sound at this point as all other injectors are fine as they change the engine sound when I disconnect the plugs from them,but sometimes it might start working but for now that's it.

Must be cause I ran the injectors real hard on e85 pushing 330rkw and think there 550cc.

Either blocked or leaking injector 5 but there's really nothing more but that as I changed every thing and this problem got worse after e85.

Still needed to change the ecu no matter Wat the outcome was as that PFC was ftt up and guy ripped me off which was not nice for $900

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
