My latest multi meter was run over by a Ute months back and is now starting to tell lies. Might order a newbie tomorrow
Every time I go to contract power/mtu/cat/Detroit/speno rail there are blokes running with fluke meters. The bro swears by them.

Anyone used any panel and paint shops for a complete glass out panel off respray they have had a good experience with? 

Vulcan panel and paint in canninton would be my option. Depends on where u are and what u wanna spend!

Flukes are good, but so are many cheaper options. I’ve had 2 flukes that both got run over, a dick Smith jobbie that still works well, cabac clamp meter that’s still good and just about had enough of my sidchrome meter.

Cat meters are ok but like many meters they start to lie before the battery warning comes up

I just bought a sp tools 1/2" mini rattle gun and 1/2" air ratchet and wish I hadn't. Should have gone the Ingersoll rand. But very expensive. :-( the sp's look like a re-baged shinano. I only got 2 yrs from the last sp 1/2" ratchet. Boss replaced it for free because I was pissed off. I just bought a full set of gear wrench metric and imperial ratcheting spanners and they are sweet. I also bought a full set of gear wrench long combination spanners metric and imperial which kick ass. Compared to all my old sidcrome stuff. Going out at cost from beyond tools in Malaga. Doing more fitting than fabrication these days. Shame I'm the only person in the shop with the correct tools. It's annoying.

O-rings you say?

Which ones?

OK, so you have these bad boys running through the firewall

peugeot-205-1.6-1.9-gti-xs-heater-matrix

which connects to the heater matrix as thus

and if you notice the 2 black clips halfway between the firewall hard tube, and the heater matrix, you get to these suspect little f**kers

and these are the issue (I suspect)

they are located in the drivers footwell, and I am pretty sure they will be accessible just by dropping the bottom off the dash (and maybe yoink the shifter) but given I cant get into the footwell to eyeball any of this, its all purely academic at this stage. It might be a shat heater anyway :/

So many o-rings

What stupid Kent’s

If you can stomach the brand name tax that comes on the fluke gear. You rarely get a shit product from them.

I know, right?
Plus, if it is the o-rings, it means my u-beaut nulon coolant is a POS 
Do you have a air compressor at home? You could test the send/return from after the poxy o ring arrangement to see if it holds pressure before pulling it out. Which is a prick of a job. You would think after only 100,000 the core would be fine if it's always run inhibitor/coolant? You could also run some soap suds water through it under pressure with the tubes attached to check the poxy o ring arrangement?

Quick google looks like focus are notorious for leaking heaters

Agreed but in the conditions I work in I’d rather 3 cheaper meters to a same level fluke. I work in the rain, mud, grease and whatever else is thrown at me.

Has it ever had a coolant flush? Different coolant colours have different additives to stop issues like this

I've been using Nulon Coolant for over a decade in Multiple performance cars (Red or Green) with no issues what so ever. Top coolant in my opinion :1311_thumbsup_tone2:

Currently use the Green in my 32 GTR and Red in my R8 Maloo.

If you need parts my mate is a service manager at Ford. If you can't be assed chewing out the stuffed old back I could put a good word in for you to get it fixed:-) p.m.
Spotted a sweet looking yellow r34 on the Tonkin today. Gave you a thumbs up if you are on here ha ha
Hey dude hows the gt-r running? Looks like a good investment the 33's are starting to sky-rocket bit like 32's and 34's. Except it looks heaps better[emoji41]

    • @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.
