thanks, thats what i was thinking. ive never heard of rb25's having air intake temp sensors.. the only non standard things i have is obviously the MAP sensor tapped into my cross over pipe just before the throttle body, a water temp sensor in the upper hose, and an oil temp sensor on the oil filter relocator

so the ecu is fretting over a non-existant sensor for some reason?

Map sensor should NOT be tapped into the crossover pipe. There's a reason that they call it a MAP sensor. The M stands for manifold. It must be downstream of the throttle butterfly.

Now, here's the thing. Map sensors are normally connected via a hose. Is the device on your crossover pipe your temp sensor?

Ok so the one thats tapped into the crossover is a 2 wire cable that plugs onto the sensor. And yep theres a hose running from the plenum into the passenger side footwell. So, if it is an IAT sensor and its connected, why would it be getting high value error?

Probably shouldn't. If it was water temp you'd expect something. It is not out of the bounds of possibility for the tuner to have put a severe cool down function into it though.

I'd be looking for a broken wire if I were you (assuming the sensor itself seems to function).

    • I know right. It baffled me. There's no way when the engine is off, key is in ignition, (coils are dissconnected aswell), also my sound system was dissconnected (I don't run any audio capacitors), battery reads 12.2v and with the 10amp fuse blown I was measuring 24 to 30v. The reading would move a bit from 30v to 24v which was weird. I took a pic of the multi meter reading 🤣: (This is a brand new single channel digital oscilloscope that also has a multi meter mode).   Before when the fuse was blown, I had one lead on the 12v supply (green/white wires) of that brown relay and the other lead on the negative battery terminal. When I turned the key on ignition (engine off), it would read 30v. Then when I removed that relay from it's plug and tried putting ignition on again, it would read 12v, but I think it's because it can't turn on the ecu now that I removed it. I asked Chatgpt and this is what it had to say:   Not sure if those theories would be possible but, any auto sparkies here? welcome to confirm. 🤷‍♂️  No idea, but if it happens again, atleast I know what type of issue it is, unlike last few months where I didn't know what was causing all my issues and I was just taking stabs in the dark to figure out what type of problem it was. If it does happen again I'm going to investigate futher and trace back the source even more and inspect more circuits. I drove it to work this morning and the car drove and boosted fine. Yeah I was thinking the same, so I've imported my back up saved map (which is the map that I saved when it got done tuning) back onto my haltech with the base fuel pressure set to 43.5psi.
    • Yeh nice, if your in melbourne could you recommend any exhaust shops in the east that do a good job?
    • Sorry yes, this is what im after Also, that jpjdm site appears to be offline
    • @Duncan Random side note, did the cops give you the driver/owners details of the taxi and then did Shannons give you a refund of the excess once you supplied those details?
    • Yeah to be clear I'm not naive, I'm sure all insurance companies are a bunch of arseholes who pay people bonusses based on the value of genuine claims they avoid....I just don't want to go back to one that has personally f**ked me multiple times in the past
