Newk, some really excitign knowlegeable stuff you've posted here. My car exhibits exactly the same doozy that wogs' car does. Might have to see ya during holidays (last exam is the 20th), so if you're free :cool:

youd probably do better with wogsrus touching something randomly and fixing it :thumbsup:

my brother handles all mechanical stuff, i handle the electronics side of things, less physical work for me that way!

besides, you dont learn anything unless you do it yourself!

Hay guys, i think it might be my stock fuel pressure reg.

Ages ago, when i got the aftermarket malpasi one, for some reason i could not run just the malpasi one, it would exibit thesame issues as it does at the moment, surging ect.

The solution was to install the stock one in series with the malpasi one and the symptoms disapeared. SOOO it looks like i might need to get a new one to test.

HOWEVER the car starts great now, no idea what happend. LOL.

WELLLLLLL

it's not the fuel reg at all, tried one of a running car, BUGGGAA, back to teh drawing board.

I wander if it is possible for my cam belt to slip a toth, i swear that last night i herd it backfire through the intake, is that possible and if so what would couse this.

The car is bad, it's basicaly stops between 2500-3500 rpm on boost.

Going to do more logs this afternoon on the way home.

Any more ideas guys.

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
