Details as follows:

The car is a 1973 Datsun 1200 Coupe, white.

It's out of rego and has no plates on it. It's been yellow tagged by the council, who'll come and tow it at the start of next week. I'd much rather it go to someone in the Dato community who can give it a new lease on life.

Has a reconditioned engine that's about 8 years old. Which has had a pretty easy life as it's been in the inner city for the last 6 years. It runs, but the battery is flat. Wouldn't put it on the road without work on the brakes at least. 1200 engine, 4 speed gearbox. No special mods have been done to it. Never been in a crash, and with the exception of 1 cooked engine it's been very reliable.

It can be picked up from Canning st near Kay st Carlton anytime after 6pm tonight. Car will be unlocked and keys in the ignition I won't be around for the weekend, and will be happy if it's "gone to a better place" when I get back. :D

I'll need to retrieve a few things from out of it after I get home from work tonight, so no pickup before then.

Anyone who needs more info call me via "NUMBER REMOVED" and I will do my best to answer any queries otherwise just come and take the darned thing :)

have a cry mate. read my post, i asked if doing this was illegal....because its basically stealing a car if someone just comes and picks up a car with the keys in the ignition...regardless of wether the owner wanted it or not, the car is still technically not the persons who just picks it up

lol, isnt this like stealing a car?

no paper work to transfer n shit like that?

i might be wrong...just asking

Hi Guys,

Dato's previous car owner here.

I don't see there being any issues in regards to ownership. I've owned the car outright for the last 8-9 years and the old rego plates have been handed back to Vicroads for destruction (been out of registration and off the road for about a year).

If Juls wants to PM me I'm happy to exchange numbers etc and fill in any history/old rego details etc.

Thanks to Dale for helping me out on short notice in getting the mesage up on these forums.

Michael.

      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.
