I have a Nissan Patrol that I bought and would barely run with an extremely bad misfire and running extremely rich. First I changed plugs, leads, coil, fuel filter, distributor, ecu. I finally decided to take out injectors and spray injector cleaner through them whilst pulsating them. Put them in and the problem was gone for a while until it started chugging under load again, after 2000rpm smooth as anything. Took the tank out and saw the fuel was horrible and tank was rusted, lined the tank, allowed to cure and injectors and line were full of sludge, I took the injectors to be rebuilt and tested, put the fresh tank, lines, injectors, filter and fuel all back in now has a vibrating miss which is now a very smooth miss and sounds and feels like to every revolution. I'm at whits end and have exhausted all avenues that I have thought of. It starts fine, idles a little vibratey, and can rev up but a chunky rev, with a massive lack of power. Still worse under 2000rpm but will still flatten out a little over 2000, definitely doesn't smell rich any more though I checked all the plugs once again and they all were black powdered, I cleaned them and took it for a drive, no difference and took them out again, black again, now i know this could be because the car is running rich which would explain the plugs carboning up but it sure doesn't smell rich and also it is too lumpy and consistent to rev to be the sole problem, imo. I'm really running out of ideas, I have searched high and low through similar issues but to no avail, can anyone point me to what may cause such a scenario?

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
