Hi all, been a while since iv posted here.

In a nutshell im running a haltech e11v2 piggybacked onto the stock ecu (was to run auto) and basically something is giving noise to the ecu via the temp sensor, it can vary up to 30 degrees cycling as often as every half second or so. This causes big idle problems from shutting off to blowing smoke etc. Iv tried running both the wires separately (not both at the same time) to the ecu and the noise is still there.

Iv not been able to find anything out there with anyone having the same problem. Iv also tried a different sensor. The feed is getting 4.88V and the other is shared ground with the tps. That of which also gives me problems time to time. The noise is only there whilst engine is going and its not relative fluctuations to RPM.

Any pointers would be appreciated! cheers.

Hey mate, have no idea about your exact problem but I do similar work on large mining gear.

Does the feed stay stable when unplugged and engine running? Checking across the pins and also feed to ground, are there any fluctuations. With it unplugged does the ecu show a fault or just a random number (ie -30)

Does it fault at all temps or only cold/hot?

Thanks for the reply,

the feed is stable with ignition but not whilst engine is running. Hot and cold doesnt matter basically the same thing. Only its worse under 70 degrees because its fluctuating cold start curcuit.

I cant disconnect it as its resistance based, if I unplug it it goes to -60 or something, which instantly kills the engine. Im going to try earth the sensor to battery but not sure if that will work.

Id kick off the alternator belt next incase it's done a diode and has a slightly erratic voltage output. And double check ecu voltage for stability.

Have you done any recent welding on the car?

Probe the TPS to see if it is doing bullshit to the voltage on the common earth?

I have swapped the alternator to one with half the kms, and no welding for a long time before this began. It literally happened after being parked for 5 days.

I have run wires directly from ecu to sensor to no resolve. Im thinking of going straight from the ground on the sensor to the negative terminal on battery to rule out poor earth feed?

An GTSBoy, the tps is also brand new haha originally it was my only issue. Itd just lose the zero setting and try to idle out of the base map

Maybe give main chassis earths a clean too, I'd check from batt neg to sensor neg and see if it's 0v. If so I can't see it hurting earthing out the sensor to check

Yeah iv checked it all, and made a big 35 square cable for engine earth too

Does the problem change with tps disconnected? Same pulsing?

I cant unplug it or it dies lol. needs the reading to go into zero throttle idle map.

Ill have a play later in the week when I get a chance lol

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
