Hey guys, up for sale is my 1993 Holden Barina 5 door (white) 1.3L automatic

I have acquired a VT commodore for cheap so its time to get rid of the 3rd car

125,000km on the clock - wouldn't pay too much attention to that

The good:

6 months rego (January 2015)

Major service just completed including

-timing belt

-engine and transmission oil changed

-air, fuel, engine and transmission filters changed

-spark plugs changed

-changed the front pads and has new brake fluid (also comes with rear pads, but I didn't change them as it didn't need it)

-rocker cover gasket changed

AC is cold

Awesome on fuel, approx. 8L of fuel per 100km around town

Mechanically its sound and hasn't failed me in the time ive had it

The bad:

The body has a few dings in it but nothing too bad

The tappets are a bit loud during start up until the engine is warm when the quiet down. (I have personally adjusted the tappets) Thicker oil should quiet them down

There is a small oil leak from engine, not sure where from as I was never concerned enough to worry about it

Only chasing $990, Awesome little daily

Located Prestons

0432528844 or PM for pics

cheers

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
