top stuff greg. i agree with ya completely. but the only reason i would consider full comp is in the event of theft. what happens if the car is never recovered ? or is recovered but burnt to crisp. yes, 3rd party theft and fire sounds good. but remember the payout amount is 5000 minus excess. sooo the max u can get bak is 4200.

any car worth under 10k is not worth full comp. 16k, yeh i would say so.

Yeah i agree with Greg... that's really how i saw it. I'm with Just Cars. they were the only ones who would insure me. THey quoted me $3500 for full comp! BUT $750 3RD party fire and theft. and i'd pay 800 excess in even of fire or theft and get $5000 back = $4200. i tried everyone and NO ONE woudl insure me.(except just cars)

Checked my insurance papers today, and its infact $699 3rd party, and $849 for fire and theft..

$1399 excess....

And i get if the car is written off and im not at fault i get $3000 back..  

Bonus is im allowed unlimited mod's as long as they're legal!

Which isnt to bad.

And yes, the insurance company really didn't care if it was turbo or non turbo... the fact that i was 16 is what they cared about.

If the car is written off and your not at fault you get the market value of the car back. (If it's not your fault they just claim it on the other persons insurance).

But yeah, I'm running a 1989 Nissan Silvia CA18DET turbo, third party property fire and theft, auto, 19 years old etc etc, $550 a year.

      I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.

      @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.
