My Cars Running, Oh Wait No Its Not..well It Is... But Its Not..

[ARTZ]

okie dokie, its raining now so im stuck inside

so I got the adaptronic in, came pretuned so I just set injector size made some adjustments to injector deadtime as advised..

Started first kick and idled away nice, few revs and it seems ok, no smoke, exhaust doesnt smell rich at all,..fuel pressure sitting on 3 barish..cheap gauge tho, could be dodgey..

then after it warmed up it starts to hunt around rather randomly too, has huge flat spot if you try squeeze on the gas a little and a bit of a miss..

Anyways Im kinda stumped, any ideas??

[NYTSKY]

Take it and get it tuned?

Take it and get it tuned?

[ARTZ]

well that is the plan

was hoping to get it in a roughly driveable state first..so I can drive it there..

I could just call a towtruck but thats kind of a fail..

[NYTSKY]

NRMA, thats who I use for free towing

[ARTZ]

Oh son of rajab....I knew I shouldn't of asked

So whats this NRMA plan u got?

[scotty nm35]

My tuner comes to me in these situations.

Do you have a wideband yet?

[ARTZ]

really, tuners do that

Cmon guys seriously, free towing, home delivered tuners ...what is this fantasy land your all living in..

no wideband yet...dont matter will just have to wait it out, whats the bet hes booked out till october now

[N1GTR]

In the real world, just call a tow truck and pay them to tow it. Or in the future (too late now), drive to the tuner, then swap the gear over.

Mine was ridiculous felt like it was running on 4 cylinders, lucky i only live 5ks from status but even then it still managed to stall 3 times in the short drive....

Yeap. A good insurance policy with road side assistance will come tow u for free if u break down.

So push the car outside and create a problem the NRMA guys will not be able to fix (disconnect the fuel pump or something). Ask them to tow it to your mechanic of choice.

NRMA = RACV (yiew mate jason from RACV - get it every day at work)

Come on i drove to sydney to pick up ur S14.

DVS towing haha

Can't you drive it without giving it petrol? Just cruise it there. Or get your wide band and do some auto tuning! I think you can with that ecu. when you let it go cold again does it start and seem fine?

[ARTZ]

yeah probably, will try again tomorrow, when its cold..if it works when its cold its probably just running lean when its hot..

that or my flux capacitor is f**ked again..

[SargeRX8]

You can auto tune with the software to get fueling right. Or why not just add more fuel your self? The software is free.

[ARTZ]

Dont have a wideband as yet, maybe I should just get one.., but yeah I have software dude, I just dunno what Im doin ...

The only fail you will experience is if you don't get it towed there. If you don't know what you're doing with the tune, you could make your tuner's job harder later if you've changed something he's not expecting.

If you feel the need to learn new things, accept everything that comes with it, including paying double
