A wierd thing has started happening!

Basically I replaced the battery 4 days ago cos rac came cos my battery went flat and they replaced it..

Then every morning since the motor won't start! And then in the arvo I can start it :s. 

Rac came and said no leak in the battery and nothing outta the ordinary was happening while he tested wen the engine was off. 

Anything that could explain this?

Does the car make any sound (i.e. a click sound) when you turn the ignition key in the morning?

wtf is with ppl with 2 posts putting up all these questions lately.

firstly people are more likely to help if you go ahead and actually properly explain the situatin, secondly if your asking for someones help it might be an idea to not be a tool and actually say "please" or "thanks"

wtf does this mean "Then every morning since the motor won't start! And then in the arvo I can start it :s. "

is the car starting at all? when rac first installed your new battery did it start etc

:mellow:

      I would hope so. I worry that it also might depend on whether the person working on the claim has had a good day or not. I could imagine that for example modified brakes would be an easy thing to point to for affecting the outcome of an accident. I don't know. I will keep paying my premium and hope for the best. But at the same time keep safe distances, drive defensively and avoid dickhead P-platers in lifted utes

      I was just working on the assumption that a cammed V8 is significantly less polluty than a Japanese I6 turbo was at the way they tested it in an IM240. Perhaps I'm wrong! Perhaps cutting one of the readings I got in half is a tall order. I don't know too many people who actually got their cars emission tested with a RB to really compare the data.

      I thought it was just if “the modification effected/caused the incident”

      Ok, good to know. I have open loop I think, I forgot which ones which but I am running the o2 sensor, brand new and I got a new boost solenoid because my last one was faulty and overboosting by a lot, but it's still technically overboosting. Haven't really bothered to hunt it down as I don't send it hard regularly.

      You should not be able to see much smoke behind you if the mixtures are good - for ~13-14 psi anyway. It's not like you need to be running hell rich for only that much boost/load. Your tune might be a tad too rich. The tuner might have done that because they like to run a lot of timing. It's impossible to know what's going on from here. It won't be the actuator. It won't be the MAP sensor. Regardless of if by "MAP sensor" you mean either the Neo ECU's boost sensor (which is literally only that, a boost sensor so that the ECU knows a) that it's achieving boost, and b) that it is not overboosting) or you mean the dash gauge's MAP sensor (because it can't have any effect at all), or you mean the boost controller's MAP sensor (because it is very unlikely that it is running in closed loop, and so it is effectively just used to know when the pressure goes positive and so you can see the boost on the display, for the most part).
