First started off running late for work. Then I took off down ennis ave, got to about 90-100 and i heard a loud tick tick tick, pulled over and it seems that my right front tyre had delaminated (which had been pretty bad for a while I admit).

SO, i goto get a price for a new tyre, and one of the workers there reversed into my car while it was parked in their car park. About $1400 worth of damage apparently, also turns out that all the local panelbeaters have already finished for xmas and they wont be back until Jan 4 (one not back for 4 weeks!?!)

Turning out to be a good xmas so far

Shit. And I thought my $550 worth of damage was bad :D

Sorry to hear about the little mishap with your car man. I'm in the same boat as you. Cant get my car to a panel beater until Jan 11!!!!! Pheck!

As for everyone else, I'm sure the X-mas holidays will all cheer you up :)

Merry Xmas everyone!! :D :burnout:

the mofo who was 'fixing my car' put a friggin ciggerette lighter burn (im talking like massive and almost purposely) in my otherwise perfect back seats. wtf was h e doin in the backseat, and why the hell are there lollie wrappers on the back floor?

then some mofo ran a trolly up one of me panels, leaving a nice litle xmas racing line infront of the rear 1/4 panel.

thank you garden city patrons!

and i was always paranoid at carosmell.

I had the exact same thing happen to my RX7, the guy told me that he took it for a test drive around the block and dropped his smoke out the window ( WHY THE CRAP WAS HE SMOKING IN MY CAR ???) I found the smoke on the back seat with a burn mark about 3cm wide, If it was the front seats he would have died.. $350 each.

    • @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.
