Macron v Le Pen

This should be an interesting indication as to whether the world is gravitating towards a sharply nationalist agenda or simply rejecting the political status quo.... Particularity given the recent attacks in France

well that's essentially the first part of my point, refer "gravitating towards a sharply nationalist agenda"

Considering this is a country that's had it's fair share of terror related incidents in the last year or so, it would stand to reason that nationalism could be viewed in a more positive light by those directly or indirectly affected.  

I don't think you have to be nationalist to fear the ramifications of open border immigration from war-torn countries, even if that is traditionally a trait of nationalism; Le Pen like our Hanson could be seen as the lesser of two evils..."I don't like xenophobes and racists, but terrorists are much worse"

so speaking to someone i know who is a JP at Springvale police station... older Vietnamese man comes in and says his car has been stolen. apparently was in a minor accident, guy who he hit (not sure who was at fault) said they had no insurance but will take the car to a panel beater and get it repaired. So the man handed over his keys and the guy drove off in it never to be seen again.

It's easy to get on the *facepalm* train with this one, but man, I felt really sorry for the dude. Super friendly old man, who isnt used to dealing with the scum we come across and witness every day, and he gets reamed thinking someone was doing something out of kindness. f**k this gay earth. and the dude is probably too honest to lie about the situation to the insurance company.

f**king swindling scumbags.

fine... make it "gravitate towards political parties that use nationalism as a core theme of their political rhetoric"

That's better...

But then he gets to keep the thief's car...sounds like a fair trade to me.

I like how Dell can mark-up their laptops by $1000 just because theyre in the "business" section of the website. I can seriously buy an Asus or Gigabyte laptop with better specs in every department, or a "home" Dell with the same spec for half the price. But it would be an "Inspiron" then not a "Latitude" model. bah Latitude has been using the same architecture for like 10 years.

After only 680 pages? Rookie mistake, last thread was > 2000 pages

To be fair, last thread had real estate, unions and Captain Will as topics

Think Rimon may have even been in there

Business laptops have additional features such as docking capabilities etc. (nohomo)

Just quietly...if you came into my interview with an Inspiron I wouldn't hire you no matter the specs...

    • @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.
