been this situation a few times..

I find most people who get out the car are actually shit frightened and are hoping that their presence will scare you.

Last fool that i had a run in with was in vic park, where a dude pulled a baseball bat out of his car, i nailed the 'line thinking he was gonna hit it. Then when i got a fair distance from him i asked him to come and fight like a man (ie. without your bat). the tool then drives over acting all aggressive (me with a big smirk on my face). starts yellin' at me from his window, whilst i am repeating to him to just simply step out the car and fight. took him nealry 10mins of contemplation then he finally gets out his car, attempts to run at me with this huge haymaker, i grab the arm sweep both legs and take him to the ground where i then inform him that i am about to break his arm (where he then realises that i have 2 martial arts under my belt) - he starts crying!! i ended up feeling sorry for the guy and helped him back to his car??

now why the hell do they even bother?!! i felt like referring this guy to a psychiatrist?!! :)

I haven't had this problem. My sister does and gets out of the car and walks towards the other person. So far all have got back into there car scared.

Personally I hate tail gaters. I sit in the lane next to them at the lights and when the lanes merge again nail it in front of them. Special people make special faces.:)

I had an incident with a lane-splitting bikie once....

while in the sonata, he split my lane in heavy southbound traffic on the kwinana freeway..

He then starts looking behind me, kicking my front bumper while on his bike and making fists at me.... Further up the freeway when traffic had broken up, he attempts to pull me over but i narrowly (about .5m clearance) miss his bike at 100km/h and got outta there quick smart.

I went to the n'th degree by writing an incident report about this bikie dude, but i thought sensibly for a bit and decided not to file the report in the end.. It's just not worth having a gang of bikie's have your rego on thier "shit list"

needless to say he scared the fu*k outta me good and proper....

I've never had a BIG problem with other road users, nor do I give them a reason to

I HATE using my horn (not the original intended purpose of them anyway) and brings unnecessary attention to the driver, rather than making any impact on whats happening

instead it pisses the other guy off

If they do something stupidly wrong, and they're sitting there looking at me like it was my fault, they get the finger

if they beep at me, they get the finger

but they don't get the horn treatment

if they want to discuss it further, on the roadside, then they're more than welcome to

and if they want their ass whooped, they'll get it

basically they get whatever they're prepared to take

daym gradenko thats pretty crazy ay, the worst case I have had was when I pulled out onto manning road next to the mount henry infront of this little laser but planted it so she wouldnt even have to use her breaks except the driver wasn't to impressed, tailgating me all the way up onto canning hwy then keeps accelerating forward and reversing and then accelerating forward again trying to scare me into thinking they were gonna hit my car, I look into my rear vision mirror and its this HUUUUGE maori woman with tha angriest look on her face, scared tha shit out of me, she looked like tha chick out of guiness book of records with the eyes that bulge out of her head except this chick looked much scarier so I stick my arm out tha window and give her a big thumbs up lol :(

Usually laughing at the other guy works well... they don't like that :-) or in fact it can actually difuse the situation in certain circumstances if you see the funny side of it. Even just looking at them like "wtf are you on?" can calm them down. Of course you can do the, i'm not scared if you go me I'm going to split you in two...and the "i mean it" look works well but of course that can often just escalate the problem.

Depends how much you want to start throwing punches.

      @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.

      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.
